You are a security guard who accompanied a group of space colonists on their trip on the huge space ship, the Marathon. Suddenly, aliens who call themselves Pfhor attack the ship and massacre the colonists. What's worse, the aliens damage the omniscient super-computers on Marathon. One of them is heavily damaged, and the other becomes insane! Caught in the midst of the battle between the two AIs, trying to stay alive in the onslaught of the Pfhor, you begin the desperate fight for survival... In this first-person shooter, you have a variety of weapons that serve you in your battle against your enemies. Different types of enemies (organic or mechanical) take different amounts of damage depending on the weapon. You can also fire from two weapons (such as pistols) simultaneously. Shooting enemies is not the only thing you will do in "Marathon". It is possible to communicate with the damaged AIs of the ship by looking at messages they send you via computers. The story is unraveled...
Description
An intense, 32-level near-total conversion. No solo scenario has scared me like this since Evil... this has a very Aliens-like feel to it. Add to that the incredible physics tricks performed... no other scenario has let you change sides completely, halfway through a scenario. The storyline is confusing, at first... but it's meant to be. (It becomes clearer near the end.) There are some minor annoyances (some of the puzzles are created purely for gameplay, and don't make much sense in the story), and it's HARD (probably the hardest scenario, out of the box, I've seen), but it's really, really satisfying to beat. Overall, this thing is spectacular. Well worth the download. Comes with a new music file, not included in the above link. For full download options (including a single file including all pieces, as well as the music file separately, and a segmented chunks option), visit RED's Big House site.

Playing this scenario now. Looks great so far, but is there any way for this mod to run in fullscreen mode in AlephOne? Tempus Irae, Evil, Phoenix, Eternal and Rubuicon all do, but RED has them black bars on the side. Thanks.
cool
