Timeline

Space Invaders

The old arcade Space Invaderrs, brought to Marathon. Plays pretty well... though it's too short. (Only 4 waves, of four invaders each.) Take a look! (The Erodrome Beta contained a different implementation of this game... but this is a lot easier to download.)

5ive Alive

5 levels, to accomodate a wide range of player groups. Mostly arenas, with a full complement of RED weapons. Flow is quite nice - the maps are simple, and allow players to concentrate on what they do best (kill their friends).A couple are specialty maps - there is one in which the only weapon is a fusion mace, another where ammo reloads are only available once you die - but it's a diverse-enough pack that everyone should find something they like. Mmm... the Microwave gun in netplay...

Wail 2.3b2

The successor to the Marathon Sound Editor, Wail vastly increases the fun you can have editing sounds.It can handle files of any length, like files from games that use the Marathon engine and the sound file from the Win95 version of M2. It's nicely laid out, it's flexible, it's relatively easy to use. It's still in beta, but this will most likely become the tool of choice for serious Marathon sound editors. v2.1b1 squashes a couple of bugs, adds a pair of (experimental) tags-try 'em out! Docs haven't been updated yet... but whaddaya want, it's still a beta. Super-quick update b2 fixes a bu...

Carnage Time Arena - BNG Rugby v3.0

A simple, diamond-shaped map with a raised walkway down the center. Teleporters at either end let you jump back and forth between the areas separated by the walkway...

Clovis' Mausoleum v1.1

A fragment of a solo map, overhauled for net play. Has some interesting flow, and plenty of weapons (and baddies for practice). This version REQUIRES the TI Addon for Aleph One... it plays very nicely under it. 3-5 works really well.

Stadious Maximus

A huge, sprawling, dark level. Flow isn't as smooth as it could be, due to lots of water areas with limited exits, but once you learn the layout, you should be able to get around fine. Merged with a custom physics model called 'Cyborg Standard' that beefs up both the baddies and the weapons. Pretty hard on normal, as a practice level... pretty sparse, netwise, with less than three players. You gotta love that second trigger on the SMG, though... BLAM!

Static Fury

A largeish arena, with some fun sniping areas, and the odd trap. Play is surprisingly good - it's been a while since I fired up a Marathon 1 netmap, and this one feels right. Worth a look! Comes with a physics model that allows the pistol to be used for sniping.
