  1. 13 Group
  2.                                 A Marathon Infinity solo scenario (2 levels)
  3.                                                                                         The main level was designed on a real structure (a WW2                                                                                                                                                         
  4.                                                                                         defence bunker) based in northeast England and is my first                         
  5.                                                                                         level. It's taken me about a fraggin' year to complete due to 
  6.                                                                                         Bungie's mistakes in the Forge  manual. I would like to 
  7.                                                                                         thank T. Belton for producing the "About Terminals or What 
  8.                                                                                         Bungie Didn't Tell You" document. It helped me a lot, 
  9.                                                                                         thanks.
  10.  
  11.                                             The level is a fairly simple one, and I have not really 
  12.                                                                                         had many people to beta test it.
  13.                                                                                         The game is best played in thousands of colours ( the    
  14.                                             terminal picts look a bit strange in 256 colours), and with 
  15.                                             all sounds turned on. If you have plenty of RAM make good 
  16.                                             use of it!
  17.                                                                                         Also, if you miss the music in the original Marathon then I 
  18.                                                                                         suggest you try and beg, borrow or steal a copy of                                 
  19.                                                                                         'Selected Ambient Works Volume II' by The Aphex                         
  20.                                                                              Twin                 
  21.                                                                                         (Warp Records). The music is seriously spooky and goes             
  22.                                                                                         well with many of the dark levels in all of the Marathon         
  23.                                                                                         scenarioes. Get it!!                                                    
  24.                                            
  25.                                                                                       Known bugs: sometimes marathon will hang in areas where 
  26.                                                                                         there are many polygons (in this level at the top of the 
  27.                                                                                         stairs). Apart from this I think it's OK.
  28.                                                                                         If you downloaded this, thanks.
  29.                                                                                         Please mail me to tell me what you think!
  30.                                                                                         If anyone wants to put this on CD rom, go ahead I'll be                                 
  31.                                                                                         flattered, but you must let me know.
