	Since I don't yet have a copy of UT to use with Marathon:Ressurection to get Marathon in its full 3D glory... I settled with poking around with the N64 game 'Perfect Dark''s multiplayer settings. Total setup, which I save to the game pack itsself takes under 7 min. Skins: -For Marathon-like player skins (pretty damn close, I'd say...) theres 2 uniforms (one Blueish, looks like Chapter screen Marathon Marine), and (one green, looks like M1 marine). I usually play Blue, brother plays Green. For the player head, theres a strangly familiar head that matches the Marathon marine's. Its got the visor and everything. -For M2+Minf BoBs skin: Theres a uniform that even has a small insignia on it that almost matches the BoB skins. The player heads can be anything really, but theres one that matches the BoB head, minus the cybernetic implant. -For M1 Bobs: Theres a green jumpsuit, looking damn near the Green bobs from M1 amongst the skins. A brown hair'd player head looks good too. For weapons, the 2 magnums, along with the Weapons setup screen allows for a great Marathon experience... on a N64. An alien weapon looks like the assult rifle from M2-Minf. Using the Sim' setting (Bot setting), I was able to make 4 M1 BoB's 'peace sims'. Therefore they run around without weapons, looking like there right freaked out. They also atttempt to steal your gun if you take a couple of potshots at them. ;D The M2+Minf Bob's with their Magnum's I set from easy to Hard, depending on the challange. The most Marathon related map that I found in Perfect Dark had to be 'Ravine'. Setting player teams such as 'Mjolnir' as Blue team, 'Tycho' for Red (I put all M2+Minf BoB's on this team), and 'Frog Blast the Vent Core' for Green, as the M1 BoB team. I've spent hours on a borrowed N64 playing out my Marathon fantasy in 3D. Hope this gives some ideas to thoes with a N64 and some spare time. -Ernie
