In Response To: Great Marathon Endings (Steve Levinson)

Actually, the ending that impressed me most was "All Roads Lead to Sol...". I admit, I like Asimov (all roads lead to Trantor), so it always gave me visions of grander things just out of our vision, lost in the mists of spacetime. The ambient sounds, the entire atmosphere just fit perfectly with the very nice, compact storyline of M2. I got a similar feeling when I first played Aye Mac Sikur, but as I didn't quite understand what was going on until later, it didn't have the impact of M2s ending. As far as Third party scenarios, I am fond of Lost Levels, as well as the (secret) ending of Tempus Irae.

: I'm curious about what people think were the best endings in the Marathon
: series or in the 3rd party scenarios. Marathon is unique in the way that
: it tells a story, so how each scenario ends is important to how a scenario
: feels when you're done with it. Some of the best scenarios have had weak
: endings - fore example, Evil and Pfh' Joueur, and even Moo until Mark
: explained it to us ;-) . To me the best ending in any scenario is that for
: Tempus Irae 2 - it sent a chill down my spine and left me hungry for the
: sequil to the sequil that will never be. What does everyone else think?
