Timeline

Marathon Map Viewer v1.4.1

This is one of the coolest tools to come along in a long time. It does just what the name would suggest... it allows you to view maps. It works a lot like Forge's visual mode... except it has a few extra features. Up and down motion is supported (shades of Pfhorte's viewer), and maps can be viewed fully-textured down to wireframe, with almost anything in between. It requires OpenGL, a 3D-rendering interface which is becoming quite common. OpenGL on a 3dfx card requires full-screen mode, which the Viewer doesn't support, but if you have an ATI Rage Pro or Rage 128 (or, according to Apple, ...

Operation Vengeance

A 13-level scenario which manages to pack every trick and novelty ever devised for Marathon, every slick little piece of eye candy, all into an eminently playable package. Engrossing...

Mission: Improbable

A one level sequel to Legacy of the Tsirc (well, three if you count the info levels at the beginning and the end). J.R. Dobbs is back, as spacey as ever...Laundry ticket? You have to retrieve a laundry ticket? Goodness. Physics tweaks make gameplay amazingly addictive... the hyped-up drones and the seriously dangerious MOAH are good examples. Visuals, are, as per usual for Gloops, stunning. Another winner.

ToastMonkey Presents v1.0

A 17-level nethop map with a seriously cool intro level. Most of the individual levels have been released in some form... many have changed pretty radically, though. Get this map for its grandeur alone.

Trippy Dippy 1.0

A tiny (well, sort of) 5D map with 3 distinct, spatially overlapping areas. Once you've gotten the textures down, it gets a bit less confusing... but it's all small enough that Jinx_tigr's favorite bug (damage in one frame of reference affects those in another) is abundant here. As Pushkin says, "i'd rather be hit over the head with 5d space anyway." Play it! You'll have fun.

th'shmooze factor v1.0

Another 5D offering from the world's only fisheye aficionado. This one is a small room with 4 pillars... 4 times. Confused? Try playing. And beware... he's shooting for 8 layers.

Polyus Maximus

A 1023 poly experiment. It started as a test of the limits of the Aleph One engine. It ended as a very playable single level solo map.

Marathon Master Scenario Guide v1.0

Ben Potter (creator of Fell, has compiled a list of all solo maps he's played since he discovered Marathon a few years ago, along with some useful statistics about them. (There are over 600 in all.) With the renewed interest in Marathon generated by the Marathon: Open Source project, some folks are revisiting the archives, looking for good, older maps. This list should help narrow the search!

Option-Pfhive Millenium Edition

A sounds patcher for Infinity, or M2. (Works with either.) Lots and lots and lots of changes. Some great, some silly... worth a listen.

First Strike v1.0

Loosely based on the Mystic Base map from the Mystic Map Pak, this is a netmap with a twist... it can (sort of) be played solo. That is, there is a mission, of sorts, laid out by the terms.
