Pfhor Water Works v1.2

A small level, inspired by Mars Needs Women. Serious attention to lighting, sounds, and architecture... Level centerpiece is a slick little bridge (seems to be based in design on the M1 Marathon Bridge Map, but that could just be coincidence). This one's fun. 1.1 Update tweaks a bad texture, adds an eighth starting point. 1.2 update adds more ammo/weapons, tweaks gameplay parameters for improved flow.

AGM 1.1

A cute tip 'o the hat to the alt.games.marathon newsgroup. The message will become clear by the time you finish... just check your map view. There ain't no savin', so fight good. (The beginning's the trickiest part, I think...)

Trojan trilogy patcher

This is a patcher for the Tojan Marathon1 Scenario. Use this ONLY if you have the Marathon1 game from the Trilogy Box set.

Trojan

When people talk of "Total Conversions" of the Marathon universe, Trojan is one of the names that should come up first. Trojan is a complete replacement for the Marathon package-think of it as an action game that happens to use the Marathon engine.

860 Lake Shore Drive, Chicago

A reproduction of the famous van der Rohe building in Chicago. Just one floor, actually... nice work, although the faithfulness to size makes fighting a bit tight. Comes in two flavors: the _s version is for playing (full of baddies) and the _p version is for looking around at the architecure (no baddies or ammo).

Barcelona Pavilion, 1928-29

A reproduction of a famous van der Rohe building in Spain. Outdoors... weapons are minimal, but the reproduction is pretty good. Comes in two flavors: the _s version is for playing (full of baddies) and the _p version is for looking around at the architecure (no baddies or ammo).

Lazer Maze

A tiny map with a playable maze. The object is to get to the chip without passing through any lit doorways... you have a couple of switches to turn them on and off. If you fail, you won't be able to get back where you started from... this was more of a test of mapmaking technique than anything else, but it's pretty cool to see what's doable.

Love that Curve Ball

A test (successful) of a technique to produce fireballs that fly around a room. They're pretty cool to look at, but don't get in their way...

The Adventures of Cyndee 1.0001

A 4-level solo scenario that's designed to be quite topical, for readers of the alt.games.marathon newsgroup. The levels are basically clear-everything-and-move-on stuff, there to provide a purpose for the terms, which poke fun at a regular of a.g.m. The AI (Cindy Crawford in bits) may show up in future, more serious scenarios. This update doesn't change anything except contact info for the author.

Alien Vacation

What's not to like about a vacation? Sr. Lorenz is keeping us busy with his Earth Series, always clever, always with fun as the main ingredient. Hit those switches, in order of course, and watch the smashing world of Lyndon's mind open up. Another for your collection. We love this guy!

Angervation

A room full of bouncing platforms-works like the Moon Walk at a carnival. No squishing platforms, so if you die, it's because someone killed you, or because you misjudged the platform in front of you, not because you were standing in the wrong place. A path around the outside gives you some stable ground to breathe on if you get seasick.

Aqua Arena

Arena is correct term but, oh so much more. This is a very spacious & complicated layout with pathways, off shoot areas, water areas, secret things, per the author, and King of the Hill play. Has been tested primarily with two players, recommends 8 easily. Mr. Ogle states he was looking to build a simple design. Don't think so! Aliens of every stripe so solo players don't fall into boredom.

Armadillo Casserole II

Straightforward Arena play, could probably handle three players, two would be better as this is a very small area. Plats, sniper ledges, water medium you can break through.

Armed Robbery

A straightforward Infinity scenario, NOT! The author has a few tricks up his sleeve. Pick up the chips & insert, wha? where? A 4 level scenario that will keep you backtracking & wondering where to go next. It may be difficult to get to the next level here, you know how Durandal is . . . Pattern Buffers are strategically placed as are weapons. A good effort by the author, let's hope heís busy creating more maps, using diverse textures and will continue to create Infinity projects. What were those two F'lickta up to by the way, hummmm, looked naughty.

At the Heart of It all 1.0.2

A single level solo exercise that has a few interesting & potentially good points. The story (Durandal speaks!) is interesting. Would like to see what this Map Maker could do if allowed some time to fiddle. Some problems with those damn Apes that just explode & explode & explode. Hasn't anybody figured this out yet?

Automatic

Another complex map with switches, lava medium in center of Arena & various back of the Arena pathways. A very tricky access to the 2x recharger, better move fast, but then you will be anyway! Sniper slots, recommended for 4 players, best for tag.
