	In Response To: Re: Stupid newbie (the Battle Cat) : First off, Welcome to Marathon Krpy! New blood! We are all hopeless Marathon : junkies here. Escape while you still have the will power. I would advise : you NOT to use the spoiler guide as it will totally wreck your experience : if over used, and it is easy to over use just by letting your eyes wander : or seeing something you didn't want to see just yet while looking up : another problem. We will be more than happy to help you through Marathon : with just the exact hints you need without giving it away and spoiling it : for you. : We need your help though. You need to tell us the name or the number of the : level you are playing in. You can find this information by pressing your : automap key, the name of the level is displayed at the top of the window. : It sounds like you are in "Never Burn Money". You have found two : circuit chips in little cubby holes with little doors that open. You need : to find another chip but you don't know where to look. There are lots of : aggravating flying wasp things shooting brown goop at you. They make : terrible pets, kill them all first thing. The 3rd chip you are looking for : is to the left of where you first started the level as you exit that room. : You have to explore to find it. : To help you explore, you should learn a few Marathon basics. Most : importantly, use your automap. The automap will indicate were you have NOT : explored by the lack of a solid light green line defining it's boundary. : This means you have not looked at that boundary wall indicating you most : likely have not been there before. Many times just a tiny gap in that : green line is actually an opening into a large new area to explore. You : will find your circuit chip if you use this technique. : Also, a good technique to use in exploring is to first clear the monsters out : of a room and then walk around the room facing the walls while pressing : your action key. You will find secret doors leading to guns and ammo, : health, shields, powerups and alternate routes. : You can jump up onto low ledges by knocking yourself up with grenades or : rockets. Turn your back to the ledge, run backwards towards it and fire : the weapon. The recoil will lift you up. You can do this by running : forward and getting higher lift but you will take damage. Make sure you : have the shields for it. There are lots more tips. We love to share. : Good luck! Keep checking back and let us know how you are doing. : Gary Simmons : the Battle Cat Tell him about the running punch!
