You're welcome

Oh yeah, I heard about that. While I didn't use it myself back in the day, I can imagine it will be a great nostalgia trip for those that did.

Lets see... Straight and to the point design! A bit on the oldschool side, but nothing wrong with that I'd say. All the links and videos seem to be working fine and the only direct thing I noticed was that the placement of the back-button was a little inconsistent. It is placed near the bottom left ...

You're welcome man! Just glad I was able to bring it to awareness in time

Hey! There is an ongoing Kickstarter to remaster the old Mac classic Escape Velocity: Override under the name Cosmic Frontier: Override. It is run by two people, a long time fan, and the lead designer of EV: Override itself! There is roughly one week left and still a little way to go on the Kickstar...

I'm curious as to the name of the first scenario; was it Earth Wars? I looked it up, but the description didn't fit. The enemies were still Pfhor as far as I remember. I distinctly recall compilers being revealed as having restarted the reactor, afterwhich the rest of the "standard" enemy...

The second scenario you're describing sounds like it could be Harkozynx 9. Oh damn, you are totally correct! I managed to dig it out of fileball (download links in the scenario's profile page are broken, but the links in the search-result list still worked) and gave it a try - and it is exactly the...

It is amazing that this place is still here. I was never much of an active member and I regret to have not kept up with the times better. Part of that is why I'm here now; I am looking for two old scenarios. I don't remember the names of either, but I do remember is how they both started. And I hope...

The original Mac download is still available from both Fileball archive and the Marathon Archives . Ah I see. Oh well, nice to know it do exist somewhere. Hm, though I may have been hasty in my conclusion about its functionality. The teleporter at the end of the first level does not appear to work ...

For whatever reason, I found myself reading up on the Marathon TvTropes page recently and subsequently went through the TC section of the page. Or more importantly, the statement that Pfh'Joueur has been lost. This of course gave me a strong desire to actually play the game again. But after a couple...

How the hell did you manage to get the CLIPBOARD files of all things? There is no certian way to open them! Clipboard files are an intermediary file that temporarily contain the data you have copied and will usually be auto-erased when you copy something new. Simply put, you are not suppose to handl...

Was that scenario ever released?

You've put forth a hard question. And since it has mostly been answered already, I dont think I can say much about the scenarios. If you want a "Marathon 4" (and is easy to install) I recommend both (or either) Rubicon X and Eternal X. Any of the other works aswell though, and the best thi...

Ok, this might not be real art but I remembered I had these PW sprites lying around since last year and felt the need to show them off. Made them in MSPaint. The hardest was the Juggernaught and the Hunters (which I never got happy with). If your intrested, you can check the (brief) match I used the...

Oh yes! Finally!
Haha! Even the thread is awesome!

...Well this sucks.
Damnit! I've been lurking here for ages and irons have always been more or less around.
He was even one of the first guy I played against.

Its kinda depressing to watch people dissapear, but I guess thats life.

*plays appropriate marathon music*

Haha! Awesome! Just love the face he is making!

I think I could get a few sounds for a crossbow. Let me dig around a bit. Edit: Yea... This is something I found on my Harddrive (I think I downloaded this a few months ago from somewhere). Perhaps it might be usefull? The flyby, I suspect, might sound a bit to much like a bullet, but the firing sou...

I gotta say, with all seriousness, what MoppyPuppy said. Starts off all nice and shit. Killing pfhor and what not. Perhaps some new enemies and stuff but whatever. But suddenly when going on some routine stuff, horror strikes! The world breaks and everyone you know slowly dies and the plot twists mo...

Here's an thought, you damn heretic!

The Wrkncacknter VS some of the Gods of Chaos or perhaps the C'tan.
Or perhaps one of those bullshit Dark Eldar dieties that always wants blood and death and chaos and insanity and never actually make an apperance.

What is this HERESY I hear!?

Glory be to the Emperor! His spirit lives on in all of us!

Now a more serious answer;
More or less, yes. He could be comparable to a sleeping god, just spread rather thin due to the fact he is looking over ALL of humanity at the same time AND fighting chaos.

The Emperor's glory, fueld by the faith of all of humanity makes the Trih Xeem no more harmfull than a BB gun... Well, perhpas an ATOMIC BB gun... But notheless, its still just a BB gun.

And to Counter!
Machine God blessed Exterminatus campaign against the Pfhor!

Perhaps it could be optional, so if you choose The Marine/Security Guard/Cyborg you get glove'd hands, and if you choose a BoB, you get normalish hands? By the way, were you planning some original enemies of you own design? Perhaps add an optional option that makes them avaliable in the survival mod...

F***! I hate when things like this happens. Watching how things slowly fade away and dissapear. I have lurked around here for several years (I think) and it was things like this I never wanted to find. Recent explosions in unversity related work have kept me pinned from the computer for awhile and s...

In the same ftp folder as Squadron was.

Played the Demos around '96 and got scared by a computer game for the first time. Got Marathon Evil working on the Large Infinity Demo around '98 and rediscovered my fears. Found out about Aleph One a few years later and thus quickly found out about this great community and all the senarios that fol...
