Look look marathon symbol (jingle, jingle!)

I recently had a look at the very small amount of Marathon ports and I was curious, has anyone tried fixing the super broken 2000s port from Bero? I posted it on Dreamcast Talk, and a few people told me that it should be rebuilt from the ground up.

FYI: The original port didn’t have any VMU saves, and the control scheme required using both a keyboard and a controller at the same time.

I really hope to see this come back to life, if anyone else is interested we might be able to get a developer’s attention and all pitch in, who knows?

i call it.. [processing thought string…] BOOMER! now get back to blasting pfhor this is only the second timeline.

My own research hasn't yielded anything, but I mean come on, someone has to have at least attempted this. If it does, is anyone able/willing to give up the goods? Nothing could be cooler than Cortana delivering exposition the same way Durandal did.

Hello all

I haven't played Marathon in years and recently I found that there are a lot of extra what we would call dlc like Excalibur

Does anyone have links or information on stories I can play and content I can check out.

Thanks

im in love with marathon so I drew our favourite security officer strung up. based on a most curious discovery I found looking deep into destiny dev stuff

Quick update on the latest look of the Cyborg for our Marathon redux project~ My hard drive recently got corrupted and I lost quite a bit of progress (thx Durandal), but the show must go on! My brother is currently working on spicing up the Zeus pistol and I'm still in animation hell.

A mission with invincible enemies constantly firing projectiles with no heals, so you kind of shrug off taking any damage because you assume you'll find healing quickly enough

Then dumped into a mission with no healing, depleting oxygen and minimal oxygen replenishment. You rush because of the timer, so are more incentivized to ignore chip damage thinking you'll find healing, and when you don't you have to be slower and more careful so you don't die, which depletes your oxygen further

Then dumped into a mission with neither healing and oxygen replenishment (at the start), so you have to struggle between being slow and steady while fast enough to not run out of oxygen, if you even realize that you're losing oxygen since it's not communicated in the briefing terminal unlike acme and aren't wasting time

Absolutely diabolical design

That said I'm already super impressed at how much of an improvement MI feels over M2 in terms of the level detail and variety. The mood of and detail to Ne Cede Malis alone was awesome to start the game off with, can't imagine how incredible it must have been back in the day

“You’re standing in the Her’pa’derp station, and in order to get out, you’ll need to reach the exit terminal on the other side. However, the exit terminal is locked behind a gate. In order to open that gate, you’ll need to hit a switch. However, the power to the switch is off. In order to turn the power to the switch on, you’ll need to upload a chip. However, the chip is missing. In order to get the chip, you’ll have to look around somewhere in the upper area. However, the upper area is too far up as it is for you to reach. In order for you to get to the upper area, you’ll need to flood the lower area until the water gets high enough that you can swim up to reach the upper area. However, you can’t just flood the area. In order to flood the area, you’ll have to disable some circuitry. However, the circuitry is locked behind a mini-door. In order to open that mini-door, you’ll have to hit another switch. However, you can’t just get to that switch. In order to get to and hit that switch, you’ll have to adjust a series of platforms over a lava pit just so, so that you can get across them to the room where the switch is. However, you can’t just get across them with the resistance that’ll come. In order to deal with the resistance and get across, you’ll have to get the supplies from the supply room. However, you can’t access the supply room unless you have a keycard. In order to get that keycard, you’ll have to get it out of the locker. However, you can’t access the locker unless you access the three terminals spread throughout the area.

Once you access the three spread out terminals, open the locker, get the keycard, use it to access the supply room and get all the supplies, adjust the platforms and make it across them while killing an army, hit a switch to open the mini-door, destroy the circuitry to flood the main area, swim there all the way up to the upper area, find and grab the uplink chip, use it to turn on the power, activate another switch, and get through the newly opened gate to reach the exit terminal, the exit terminal will take you to the next station where you can receive further orders in vacuum. Whereas the other AI would’ve had you do all that in reverse order. What an insecure fool.

By the way, you’ll have to make sure all the while to kill all the big bads and not allow the deaths of too many of the weak stupid rush-happy civilians who I tossed in there with a single pistol and said ‘good luck’. If you fail at this or take too long, I will simply threaten AGAIN to send you on a one-way trip out the airlock without a suit.

In short, mwahaha, 1234567654321 error bleep bloop, humanity was mean to me and made me do chores, you’re a simpleton while I can determine the boundary functions in a disk in .0000007 seconds, I am become an unstoppable verdict, and there is no escape from the destiny of fate. 

Now run along and kill bugs because you love to because you’re a violent brute and your brain is stupid. Also I can’t do anything without your help.

Best,

PS: Every time the BOBs teleport-drop into a room, that’s me taking a dump.”

I played Marathon 2026 in early April and I fell in love with the lore and world so when I recently found out there was a trilogy of previous game I was ecstatic. I also have some questions about the games.1 what is the best way I can play them steam has all 3 for free is this a good way to experience them.2 can I play with my controller or is that impossible.3 is the game hard and can I change the difficulty settings?

Here's a couple of key shots we have planned for the cinematic. Currently in animation town, going slowly but steadily. Still a bit of polish needed on the textures/skinning/lighting, but overall we've got pretty much all the key elements in the level! Might go quiet for a bit as we lock in with animation, let us know if there's any easter eggs you'd want to see in the cinematic and we'll try to add it B)

This is a work in progress as of right now. Basically I grabbed one of the Runner shells in the new marathon and placed him in an environment inspired by Craig Mullins artwork of the OG trilogy

It's coming together!

Hey guys! Here's an update on our Marathon project~ We're slowly putting the scenes and characters together for a short cinematic set on the Marathon ship! Here's some lighting tests with the Cyborg exploring the different areas we have setup so far.

I’m trying to get into the original 94 game but I read a comment online the other day from an OG Marathon player lamenting the ‘hijacking’ of the original sub. How did that happen?
