	In Response To: Origional M1 Level Names (Spooky) : It seems that in the Original Level Names page many answers can be found : not surprisingly on the Original Level Notes for Marathon page. There : was lots of speculation perhaps without being armed with this information. : 00 Arrival : 01 You need a bigger gun : 02 MANUFACTURING LEVEL : 03 defense center : 04 Water OFF / Couch Fishing : 05 big level : 06 smells like napalm, tastes like chicken : 07 Fusion power / Cool Fusion : 08 Reset Dish Hail Earthlings : 09 Scared, Scarecrow? : 10 back to save bob / Bob -B- Que (after a detour with durandal) : 11 : 12 FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE : 13 big stairway puzzle / “Colony Ship For Sale, Cheap” : 14 Habe Quiddam : 15 refuel & rearm to explore alien ship : 16 phfor your eyes only (first alien level) : 17 refuel & rearm to explore alien ship / : 18 unphforgiven : 19 two times two equals … : 20 refuel & rearm : 21 can't afford it / euphforia : 22 phforaphobia (last alien level) (short) : 23 so many choices, so little time / welcome to the revolution … : 24 slave rebellion #1 / What is best in life? : 25 slave rebellion #2 / Watch For Ice on Bridge : 26 the end / Ingue Ferroque : |duction?| is most likely short for destruction as seen the hand written : summary for the first computer terminal, 0 entry : Leelas foreshadowing of : destruction. : Answers the Cool Fusion problem as you can see it was "Fusion : power" switched to "Cool Fusion". : This solves the Bob -B- Que riddle. Two extra space characters would give the : effect. : The list goes on as you can see but I'm not even sure if people just forgot : to check the level notes. It does however suggest that some of the : vestigial text recovered using Chisel does not in fact necessarily : designate an actual title and may be more a placeholder in some cases. : Thanks guys, : Spooky I think you may be confusing what the Original Level Names page is doing. It is attempting to determine what was originally written in the Map file for levels in cases where it was shortened. In the three examples you give above the original names were longer and you can see fragments of the original name at the end. Never Burn Money|duction?| Cool Fusion| Cool| Bob-B-Q|eue| I don't see how the Original Level Notes helps us here. They may have been the original names written on paper but not the ones that were later put into the Map file and then edited down to a shorter name during development. Cheers Hamish
