Archive of the original Marathon Rubicon release for classic MacOS Aleph One, titled Rubicon AO Light. This is the Rubicon scenario as it was before Rubicon X.
The files on this archive were taken from the Macintosh Garden here https://macintoshgarden.org/games/marathon-rubicon and passed through MacBinary II+ to make them compatible with modern Aleph One for Windows and Linux too.
Also included is a set of maps bundled with the AO Light release, including some netmaps, the Rubicon Xariim scenario and, as far as I can tell, one ported map from the unreleased scenarios that eventually became Rubicon.
Added the weapons and items MML scripts from Rubicon X to fix wrong names in the HUD.
Hosted on Mega because the Simplici7y uploader is failing to upload.
An original fan soundtrack for Marathon Infinity, composed by Talashar. Featuring themes from Marathon, Halo, and M2SE. This won't just be a mashup of themes you know though, levels and character have been given their own themes to provide a new dimension to the game. Experience Infinity in a whole new way. Based on Treellama's M2SE plugin.
Preview my music here: https://talashar.bandcamp.com/album/strange-aeons
NOTE: MUSIC DOES NOT LOOP ENDLESSLY. This is intended. Many levels have added silence to allow the ambience some time on the stage. This silence is not a bug. Each level has been assigned specific tracks to emphasize narrative beats, emotional highlights, atmosphere, and overall vibe. If you would like looping versions of the songs, you can get them for free via the bandcamp link (click Buy Album then enter $0).
Recommended volume levels are 100% Master, 70% Music.
If you run into any issues with this plugin, I can be found in the Marathon Discord as @throkgaar.
Enjoy.
Slight tweaks to timing and higher quality .ogg files with Metadata.
Marathon: Istoria is a single-player RPG scenario set in the Marathon universe and designed for the Aleph One engine. It pushes the engine to its limits by using advanced character progression, combat, and storytelling.
Customize your character by choosing from seven different player classes, each with their own unique active and passive abilities. Decide which conventional weapons you want to specialize in, and make use of a brand new arsenal of spells. Explore Istoria while discovering its secrets and how you fit in the world through a combination of terminals and communicating with the recently deceased. Istoria features an original soundtrack by Jon Irons.
After all, what is a metastable AI but an electric god?
You've been sent by Durandal to assist a UESC assault on the Vylae homeworld. As Pfhor resistance crumbles, a strange discovery offers new opportunities... and new perils.
A mini-scenario for Marathon Infinity. Eight levels, plus one interstitial and one secret bonus level.
Notable changes in v1.2:
A zip file version of the old 3D Examples from the early days of Aleph One. Includes a plugin containing 3D models of columns and lights, and two maps for trying it out. Files originally created by "binhqx", and still available in .sit form here
NOTE: Many changes have gone into this game to address the two reviews. With over 900 downloads, I'd appreciate a review from someone else. Please? Many many updates to add pillars, stairs, transparency, different goals, etc. When this was originally reviewed, there were only 4 levels! Please review if you downloaded it.
=========
Fart or Die! is a 9-level game that uses hidden areas, terminals, switches, teleports, and more!
As a beginner, I struggled to figure out how to create switches, terminals, platforms, stairs, circles (use circle plugin around a line), uplink chips, exits and terminal variants with multiple actions. I also could not figure out how to add motion or depth to water, lava, or sewage. All that works now and is included in this game.
I am not an expert map maker by any means (more a newb) but this map contains a lot of commonly used elements for map makers and may help some newbs.
NOTE: I am not a super mapping pro and my levels are much less complex than others on here…but it is that complexity that made it hard for me to learn by studying other maps. I hope this set of maps helps someone new on here. This is NOT an advanced mapping tutorial. It is meant to help you get over the hump.
Having said all that, it is also fun to play and I enjoyed making it. While the levels are not too complex, they are challenging and require you to follow game strategy to move from one level to another. :) If you play the game at the hardest level, you will find it difficult to complete. :)
Let me know if you like it. I'm in the pfhorums as dustu and on live games as dustu.
NOTE: I have addressed most, if not all, of the comments by reviewers on here and in the forums.
If you download this, please review it.
Enjoy!
Minor bug fixes.
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.
Version 1.1 - Fixed bug in smaller walkway area of Noctem where player could clip through wall and be trapped in centre
Version 2.0 - Fixed sticky polygons at start of Eye of Khfiva - Modified section with water level switch on Mallum Sommium, including adding a new path. - Various texture changes, ceiling modifications, and lighting tweaks, especially on Thirteen Bonfires and the larger areas of Elevate Injured Areas, Eye of Khfiva, and Endure. - Minor edits to some terminal text.
Version 2.1 - Fixed wrong start location in Mallum Sommium and polygon height to reenable Flick'ta beach assault (sorry about stuffing them up)
This is a concept map. Includes aliens for solo, and a ball, and a hill.
I made this map the day before our Carn Fest VI, so we could crash test it. We found a few things that needed fixing, and I fixed em on the fly. We then all came to a concesus that it was great, so we made a film and I would post it for others. Here it is, and a film included on how it's played.
There is one thing I might mention though... the physics have been altered, so that you can wield two NUKEGUNS at once. How it works is, you must first pickup one nukegun, and then pickup TWO ammo packs in order to use two nukegun. This is the only way it was possible of being done, so live with it. Shot damage has been GREATLY reduced so you need to hit them more than just once at a very far distance... made it more fair, after play testing it.
Known bugs that will not be fixed or listened too in eMail: Have to pickup ammo before using the weapon. Have to pick up more ammo in order to use a second. Only have to pick up one physical nukegun to use two. Player graphics from anothers point of view shows them holding dual pistols instead of dual nukeguns (this one is imposible to fix unless I made a stinking shapes patcher and got rid of pistols alltogether).
Just throw this map file into the folder of EVIL (or some folder within the Evil folder), and pick it from the Environment Preferences area. It has pre-merged Physics that are EVIL compatible, so no worry there.
Actually... ANY map made for use with EVIL should be pre-merged with physics, regardless. Otherwise it's not a map worth messing with.

Henseler´s Hell a map by RealRainman
Henseler´s Hell is the first and only "Marathon map" I made back in 1997. I tried to develop a detailed storyline that, although based on the familiar "I guide you through the action" concept, comes up with surprising twists and a couple of neat tricks that pushes even the experienced player to his limits. I wanted to include a lot of cool graphics (watch out for the terminals !) , and the biggest battlebot that the "Marathon" world has ever seen (I guess) !
Believe me, I used ALL the polygons,objects and entities that are possible to use in "Forge".
Sorry guys, forgot about the fact that I uploaded here! A nice guy by the name of Greg (somehow) got in contact with me and pointed out the missing terminal pics! The HENSELER´S HELL map-file must have been corrupted years ago by copying it to a PC-file server. I was able to retrieve the original map file and it has all the terminal artwork included (which is important at some point in the story, visual hints etc.). Have fun! cheers, RealRainman

This is a map I made in college, ages ago. Heavily inspired by certain moments from the Rubicon solo campaign, but with its own unique twists.
This level is designed to be severely punishing, but absolutely doable with a sound strategy. There are ambushes. There are turret puzzles. There are times you'll have to run for your life.
One word of advice - you're not meant to fight every juggernaut. You can still try if you want to :)
The first and so far only build.

A full scenario for Marathon Infinity. It is a 6 level breach and infiltrate mission into a Pfhor military compound, complete with new terminal and chapter arts, as well as some interesting old school mapping tricks and fun bits.
This version of the scenario was updated to Marathon Infinity (textures and refinements). If you want to play this scenario in Marathon 2, it is highly recommended you grab the other archive (specifically for M2), or many textures just won't look right on things.
Final version for Siege of Nor'Korh.
Stand-alone Marathon game. Windows version.
Fixed the gamma bug.
