In Response To: DiaBD! Morganna's Revenge! (ekul)

: Devil in a Blue Dress, Morganna's Revenge for both M1 and the
: M2/Infinity Versions are some of the most interesting scenario's
: I've played. Though some of the sprites look somewhat ameturish
: (so what? they rock anyway) they provide a look distinct from the
: usual "techie" look from a lot of scenario's.

Yes, I agree with everything. The sprites are indeed ameturish and I *almost* didn't play EMR Infinity because of it, but once I looked beyond that, I found truly amazing level design with what I believe to be the best use of dream sequences of any Marathan scenario. There are only 2 criticisms for listing these scenarios here - firstly, they are hardly unsung, and deserve to be on any list of the best 3rd party scenarios - probably in the top 10, certainly in the top 20. Secondly, they are not set in the Marathon universe. Not that I meant to exclude such excellent scenarios from this thread (eg. Marathon Discent is also worthy of mention), but I kind of take exception to scenarios that ignore the original Marathon story line entirely. DBD and EMR basically are entirely different games that happen to use the Marathon engine. But thank God they use the Marathon engine - bringing these truly great games to the Mac ;-) . They may not fit the original intent of the thread, but they occupy a permanent spot on one of the Marathon CD's I've burned, and I'll undoubtedly be playing them again.
