Full 'O' Bobs

Two main rooms, one full of explodabobs, one mixed, plus a room full of rechargers and another with an extra pistol and some ammo. I guess the point is to see how long you can stay alive...

Gladiators (m2)

Very simple map. (Comes in two versions-one for two-person net play, one for solo play.) Basically, it's very similar to Evan Vetere's Joust- each player tries to knock the other off his platform into the lava below. Solo version substitutes a trooper for your net opponent.

It's Not Easy Being...Red?!

A port of Mike Neylon's It's Not Easy Being Green. M2 is a bit short on green textures, so this one's mostly red... a pretty nice job.

Moonlight Skirmish

A pretty straightforward arena, with a small tower in the center. (It's not set up for KOH, but if it were, the hill would be pretty difficult to reach. There are other reasons to go up there, though...) Comes in two versions (with and without aliens), and with a physics model to make the aliens less nasty.

NY Subway

Modeled after the Union Square IRT station in New York City, this is one of the better renditions of a real subway... requires Ignore Zero Divides on 68K macs. Not really new, just new to this site.

Reservoir Dogs

This is a pretty fun map... lots of switches change the flow through various sections... some areas are only accessible via water, some become inaccessible until a switch gets flipped again. Nice water effects. .

The Towers 3

A pretty standard arena, with some pillars which can be used as vantage points. Really slow on 68K macs (probably because it's so open), and the lack of texture alignment is jarring.

Vertigo Maps

9 maps. The two that were in the last iteration, and 6 more, plus a version of one of the originals with textures redone to be more lo-res compatible. Generally open, with lots of aliens.

Let Me Drown

Interconnected passageways and a small pool with goodies in it. The door controls introduce some nice flow oddities. Comes with a physics model that allows bullets and grenades to penetrate water.

Quarrel Quarry

Very big, with two distinct sections. There's an outdoor arena with some connecting passages for multiple entry points, and an indoor set of corridors that give you lots of corners to hide behind. A bit slow on 68K machines...

Ultra Series Elite Maps

10 maps, ranging from quite good to downright annoying. The first several have heavy emphasis on water. The last few are unplayable-we were getting framerates of less than 4/sec on ethernetted powermacs. With fewer aliens, less ammo, and less open space, they might be okay...

You're Going Down v1.1

Made with the flow concepts of Bungie's What Goes Up in mind. Pretty nice flow. Contains a pretty superflous crusher (docs say it's for the player who likes to hide in small rooms and shoot people who come in (I guess like the spanker room in What Goes Up), but who'd go into it after the first time?). Update adds a bunch of new features (new stairwell, a window, some minor tweaks).

Bowling v1.1

Comes in two versions, one for solo play and one for net. The net version has a more interesting design, and is missing the gimmick that gives the solo version its name...

Constant Carnage

This map just about maxes out object limits in Marathon, and because of this is horribly slow on anything but a powermac (and even then...) Otherwise, it's a pretty straightforward map with lots and lots and lots and lots of ammo and baddies and stuff.

Dragon's Maw

Inspired by Everyone's Mortal But Me. Look around for the invincibility...

Knee-Deep in S'pht 1.1

The first two levels of a rather large scenario. (All the levels are there, but only the first two have polygons in them... well, the third has a pair so that you can teleport in, but...) Generally pretty difficult, but more for techical reasons than anything else. The central shaft on the first level (by which most intra-level travel occurs) is a bit tough to get the hang of. Once you've figured it out (and ignored the bad textures inside), it's pretty cool... and there's a nice trap on level two.

Subliminal

A straightforward arena with a few nice twists. The "hill" is a pretty dangerous place to be... This map was created because "there are very few maps with [the pfhor texture set], and even fewer good ones."High-quality.

The Once and Pfhuture King v1.0

This is easily the best KOH level I've ever seen. Wow, I don't think I've ever said anything like that before... Check it out. This map is good.

Demolition v4.0

9 maps. There are some really, really good ones here... the last three are a lot of fun. Emphasis is on vertical movement via silent, fast elevators. Lots of sniping positions-you'll need to experiment with teleporters to figure out what goes where. You're rarely safe, even on the larger levels...

M2 Suicide v15

3 maps (ports of the maps in Suicide 25). A good batch, but very open-really slow on slower machines.
