: I actually wonder how anybody could've first discovered this secret without a
: map editor. Speaking of which, does anybody here know what the first
: third-party map editor for Marathon 1 was?
I forgot that secret platforms, while they are not colored red on the auto-map, do have a thicker green line around them. Somebody may have been wondering where the hidden elevator could be, looked on the auto-map, seen the unique outline, and tested it out as a candidate (and of course, found the secret).
