In Response To: Re: Let's Force Hamish to Play Marathon! (Godot)

Something tells me this would end up being the longest video on youtube ever.

: Well it would probably go something like this.

: After a five minute preamble on how to set up your preferences so that the
: game is as close as possible to the original Marathon look and feel we
: begin.

: Player turns around and tabs the door behind. Listen to that sound. Yes, it's
: a locked door sound. That sound is in the original game but not M1A1. For
: some reason many of the locked door sounds were not implemented in M1A1.
: In the modified version of M1A1 they are.

: Head for the terminal. Ambush! *BLAM* *BLAM* first Pfhor fighter bites the
: dust (yes folks I'm playing on Normal). More Pfhor fighters... *BLAM*
: *BLAM*... *BLAM* *BLAM*... *BLAM* *BLAM*... reload... *BLAM* *BLAM*. Yes
: five Pfhor Fighters. In M1A1 there are only four at the start. Why? Well
: the guys who did M1A1 left out the second one in the observation deck (go
: figure).

: But wait, I recall a Jason Jones movie of this level where only four Pfhor
: Fighters appear. Yes indeed, the inbuilt movie on Total Carnage shows
: Jason taking on only four fighters at the start. Why? Well Jason or Greg
: (they both had a hand in making this level) created 15 Pfhor Fighter
: placements on this level, but the initial count is set at 14 Pfhor
: Fighters, with a random count of 2, and max count of 18. This results in
: certain degree of randomness in monster appearance. Many of Marathon's
: levels are like this, most notably Couch Fishing (but more on that later).
: This randomness is not implemented in the current version of the game.
: Perhaps in the next build?

: Ok lets take a look at the first terminal...

: By this stage all your viewers would be... zzzzz.... ZZZZZ.... zzzzz.... ;)

: Cheers
: Hamish
