In Response To: Volunteers: Ingue Ferroque (Mark Levin)

: This is it, folks... The living end, the final frontier, the level to end all
: levels. No other game, with the possible exception of Pathways Into
: Darkness, has given me the same sense of accomplishment to defeat.

: The level is not too realistic, consisting of several staged encounters. The
: mapmaking is actually a bit sloppy, with a number of odd details and
: untextured walls (check out the inner bottom of the lavafalls right behind
: you when you start). But the combat is very tough until you learn the
: various tricks employed, and learn how to dance along with the game, how
: to truly PLAY Marathon.

: It's a mostly straightforward level once you get started, very linear. Be
: careful of invisible S'pht, they can cause you to shoot yourself in the
: face with grenades or rockets. The flamethrower is great against Fighters,
: it's very efficient when they are found in such quantities. The rockets
: are good for the Troopers, no need to save them now :)

: This level of course features the immortal Bungie Credit Terminal, at the far
: end of a 5D maze (of course with a maze like this it's not easy to tell
: when you've reached the far end).

: And in the end, it comes full circle: The exit terminal is right above the
: place where you entered the level, high above the lavafalls, deep in the
: Marathon's engineering sector. And now it's time to rebuild the colony, or
: so you think...
:
: Thus ends Marathon 1, and the first stage of Volunteers. Seriously, how many
: people are interested in continuing on into Marathon 2? Vote in this
: thread or something... If there are at least 7 people, I will go on :)

I don't have a mac and this is the only way I can relive marathon 8^) Please keep going.
