In celebration of the 30th anniversary of Marathon 2's release, this is a 28-level scenario using the same story of the original game and similar constraints, blending together classic and modern level design styles to make an exciting revisit to Lh'owon.

Notes for version v1.0.1.1:

This is the actual fix for the evil spawn point problem.

Notes for version 2.10:

• Fixed drone clut4 to better match the original with blue explosions and engines

• Moved download to google drive as it is getting too big to upload to Simplici7y reliably.

NOTE: Simplici7y will not let me upload anything to the old entry, so this is a reupload.

Eupfhoria is a fully re-instrumented and re-scored soundtrack mod for the first Marathon. This replacement tries to remaster the original soundtrack while retaining the original feel. It IS the tracks you know and love, as it's based off the original MIDI files. Most tracks should fuller and more atmospheric, hopefully a bit like Marathon's younger brother, Halo.

To see if this is for you without downloading, you can stream it all here: Eupfhoria - Full Album Stream

Install like any other plugin, the old versions had you manually replace the stock music but this is no longer required. Run like any other plugin.

NOTE: Don't use this for your first playthrough. Really. This is for people who've played through it before and want a new experience. Updating those pesky textures is one thing, but save this for your second playthrough.

Notes for version 1.01:

Fixed file loading on Linux and Mac OS. Changed "\" to "/" in mml folder paths.

A scenario set between Marathon 2 and Marathon Infinity. Intended to enhance the story experience of playing Infinity by giving enough context to work out key plot points as they happen in game.

As Departure intended as a prequel to Infinity it's fairly short. Only 12 levels and some of them are fairly short.

Any feedback is welcome. Alternatively feel free to unpack the game file with Atque and make improvements.

Notes for version 1.1:

Version 1.1 - Fixed bug in smaller walkway area of Noctem where player could clip through wall and be trapped in centre

First time uploading anything here, hope I don't screw something up!

Only compatible with Marathon1.

I discovered the "MaraMag March '95 HUD" while trawling through the Marathon Tilogy Boxset disc and I really liked it. It was kind of like a dark mode for the original release.

So I decided to spend a little bit and whip up an edit of this hud found here: https://simplici7y.com/items/floatingxhud-m1a1-ultimate-version/

An Aleph One compatible version of the maramag hud can be found here: https://simplici7y.com/items/new-interface-maramag-march-95-11/

Neither of the above files are required for this release. However if its taboo to include the FloatingX files to make this work out of the box I apologize and will edit my upload and link the required files as appropriate. However currently I left in the two readme files for FloatinX and the M1 edit. So the original authors are credited.

Notes for version 1.1:

Made some quit edits so the plugin appears as "MaraMag FloatingX" and not just "FloatingX"

([2025-03-20] A new Marathon: Keyfinder map was added, "NEFX - Elegance Emerging Through Application of Bases". This can be downloaded individually or with other files in the Marathon: Keyfinder section at the link.)

NEFX loves you.

NEFX has been prolifically producing great Marathon/Aleph One inventions since 2017 (around 2.5 years after being founded) and uploading them to Simplici7y, in an increasing number of different upload pages that NEFX then frequently updates. This has occasionally lead to crowding of Simplici7y's front page with several different NEFX uploads, sometimes over a relatively short period. Understandably, some have objected to this as unfairly outcrowding and burying the wonderful contributions of our fellow travelers. We hear them. Therefore, to better serve the community as well as our Total Carnage Comrades, NEFX is now consolidating all additions and updates to its Marathon and Aleph One-related inventions on Simplici7y here on this one upload page, with a datemarked update timeline you can view below. Henceforth, all Marathon/Aleph One scenarios, campaigns, maps, mods, etc, and any updates to them, will be posted here. Of course, the webpage link connects to NEFX's Internet Archive homepage, where you can find all inventions by titled category. This includes:

NEFX Marathon Mods (i.e. physics files and Lua scripts for netplay)

NEFX Marathon Infinity Netmaps

NEFX Marathon Solomaps for others' scenarios, including the soundtracked 50-level pack for Aleph One: Wheels!

Tempus Irae Redux is the classic Marathon Infinity scenario, remastered. This final release features enhanced HD graphics, with every single texture having been completely rebuilt from scratch. In addition, several new textures have been created (including animated textures), and the four original landscapes have now been expanded to thirteen. Each level has been meticulously refined and enhanced (and in some cases expanded), while introducing stunning effects like rain, lightning, fog, volcanic cinders, and snow. The game has also been upgraded with an all new soundtrack, and improved co-op play. If that wasn’t enough, new levels have been added as we’ve bridged Tempus Irae with the follow up project The Lost levels for a combined total of 49 solo levels, and 79 net maps.

This is the definitive and complete collection, every add-on united, at last.

We sincerely hope you’ll find this fresh take on Tempus Irae, led by the original scenario designers, to be worthy of a new playthrough as you discover its new secrets and challenges. It’s been over 25 years since the original release of the scenario, and this new version is absolutely breathtaking. From all of us at Nardo, have fun, and enjoy!

This is just the raw MML from M2 Pepperscapes by W'rkncacnter (not the uploader of this), without any of its actual landscapes. What it does is stretch landscapes across the entire screen, thus preventing any repetition/cut-off points. It looks a little goofy, but for high-FOV users, it may be preferable to the standard, small landscape size. It will work with Marathon 2, Infinity, and regular scenario landscapes (e.g. Phoenix's original landscapes). It will NOT affect modern HD landscapes, such as Phoenix's built-in HD landscapes plugin or Rubicon X's.

A patch for fiddler_on_a_roof's Marathon Phoenix XBLA HUD. Makes the HUD correctly reflect the amount of arrows you can fire with the crossbow, which were updated from 3 to 4. Simply copy the contents of the patch over the original in the plugin folder.

One of the cooler features M1A1 took advantage of was animated textures. This plugin brings them back full circle to classic M1.

I made a few touch-ups, ranging from recoloring for accuracy to M1's palette, to smoothing out flickering pixels, to fixing some inconsistencies from the original game.

NOTES:

• I included the originals to any textures I made changes to, in case you prefer them or just want to see what I changed.

• The Durandal image on the puzzle switches is not used because (to my knowledge) it didn't appear in-game.
