	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
