PS: I'm now going to scan the Marathon scrapbook - this will take some time - and I will then wrap it up into a single PDF file and post the link in this thread so you can download.

Damn software pirates. All you're doing is reducing the resale value of everyone else's mint Trilogy Box Set.

He's right you should be ashamed of yourself!!!!!!!!
*downloads*

[Winter_Wolf]

Great stuff doctor! Downloading now.

And I'm tempted to say its almost piracy to sell Marathon Box Sets when its been released as freeware... Giving it out for free is what's meant to happen! Good on you doc!

[Longinus]

@ Mods... If you're gonna ban him, let him upload the scrapbook first! We need that thing, and so do YOU.

Thanks Doc, and gl to you.

Hehe - see it as an act of pure self-sacrifice towards the Marathon community.
We'll see what Ryoko thinks about this -
Btw. I have announced this 2 weeks ago in another thread and I was told to upload EVERYTHING I got.

c'mon guys - don't make me hold the scrapbook hostage

Damn software pirates. All you're doing is reducing the resale value of everyone else's mint Trilogy Box Set.

Damn you people who demand $179,99 for frickin 2 CD's of freely available OLD software.

sweet thanks for the dl

[Zott]

Err, if you guys wanted the Trilogy CDs, I have them and could have made you guys a disk image if you wanted it so badly, without having to open a MINT box. Its MINT for goodness sakes. "Its no longer a collectible!" Noooooo

Well anyways, the "self-sacrifice" will not go in vain. Thank you for uploading it to the internet The Doctor. Hey while you're scanning the scrapbook, don't forget to scan the boxes and those stickers that come with the box as well. If we're going to have the software side and scrapbook, we might as well have a comprehensive database of the entire thing, and in MINT condition no less.

You're a saint, Doc.

What would I do with a sealed Box Set? Stare at its awesomeness? - well probably I would, but I'm not spending money on this just to let it catch dust afterwards.

So you want me to scan in the stickers & the box as well huh?
The box is too big for my scanner, but I can try the stickers - one of them is reflexive, so you won't see much of it.

I have taken some pics while unpacking the box.
you can look at them over here:

that'll have to do - the Manual is included on one of the CD's.

[Longinus]

Wow that is an awesome box. Likin' the cube.

[thedoctor45]

As promised - here's the Marathon Scrapbook.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ANYNJ3OC

1024x928 72dpi in PDF format - 34 pages - no montage - original scan from mint booklet

and again, feel free to redistribute this.

I will add the stickers tomorrow.

have pfhun!

[RyokoTK]

We'll see what Ryoko thinks about this

I think it's cool as hell. Right on, dude!

[Magnum]

You sir are a hero.

[The Man]

You sir are a hero.

Agreed; it's beyond me where my Scrapbook got put, and in any case it's not in the best of shape anymore D:

[Volcanon]

Any chance somebody could upload Myth 1 and 2, or are those still "commercial properties"? My cds got trashed through long years of constant use and stupid iomega CD-R backups decided to be decidedly non-backuping. That and my brother stole my myth 1 cd for some reaosn.

[thedoctor45]

I just realized that the wrong page numbers are displayed next to each other when looking at the PDF in dual-page mode (page 2&3 instead of 1&2 etc..)
this is because I left out 2 empty pages at the front & back.

I have created a new PDF that has these 2 blank pages included - so you can now look at the scrapbook as you were meant to look at it.

grab the 36 page version over here:

Myth was never released for free, you'll have to buy it.

[thedoctor45]

Alright, stickers are up:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HHR85Y3H

one of them is heavily photoshoped because the silver surface didn't go well with the scanner.

hope you like them anyway - all three are 250dpi - you can try and print them on contact paper if you like.


if you want anything else let me know.

[BetrayedLocust]

Wow....
You have escaped and become a god.
Thanks alot.
you spent 175$ on this....
thats a sacrifice.

[thedoctor45]

you spent 175$ on this....
thats a sacrifice.

Lol, no - that was a different auction - the thing cost me about 50 bucks - I would nevar evar spend 175$ on a game - not even for Marathon IV.

anyway you're welcome.

[Longinus]

It was a great pleasure reading the Scrapbook doc. Thanks for the gracious upload!
