What does it mean to be a Vidmaster?
It is being balanced in the calm center of a whirling and untouchable tornado of destruction, while showers of grenades patter harmlessly around you and bullets crawl toward you in slow-mo.
It is when your brain develops a new bundle of nerves whose only function is to re-route impulses directly from your eyes to your finger muscles, so that you can twist and snap off a rocket long before you’re conscious of the yellow blip in your motion detector.
It is when the difference between a roomful of alien warriors and a carpet of them is a matter of seconds.
The word "vid" entered the Marathon lexicon during development of the first game, to distinguish the excellent players (particularly in net games) from the fodder. The Oath of the Vidmaster was inscribed into the skip-levels dialog (Command-Option-Begin New Game), to remind players of the highest level of excellence they could aspire to:
"I pledge to punch all switches, to never shoot where I could use grenades, to admit the existence of no level except Total Carnage, to never use Caps Lock as my 'run' key, and to never, ever, leave a single Bob alive."
To do these things is to invite maximum peril, and requires one to play the game as hard and unrelentingly as possible, at the highest level of skill; to play as a Vidmaster.
These three games, the Marathon saga, are the best training and testing ground for Vidmasters. You can play against aliens alone or in a networked group through more than 80 levels. But the true challenge is surviving in one of the 50 included netgame arenas against other people. It is in such trials by fire that mighty Vidmasters are forged.

Re-add the map builder.
Undoomed
Coming back to this game just now, it has been an amazing experience replaying this game. Multiplayer and Campaign are both good. I just wish map building can be remade.
Another update to this Classic!
Deep Thought
Glad to see this game brought back to life. I really enjoyed the Marathon series but had to say goodbye over the years as this Mac Classic was lost to two major CPU shifts by Apple. The HD upgrades make this game look even better than it ever did when I first played it back in the 90's on my Mac Performa 630. The music in this game still is the most eery soundtrack I have ever heard in a game.
Help 2 ?

I want to use the Classic weapon textures but I also want to use the HD renderer for the levels is there a way for me To use both the HD graphics renderer and the classic weapons textures
great to have these classics updated
Orborborb
eager to play these again with a controller, but my brain only works with inverted aim would also be nice to be able to disablr the texture filtering on both walls and enemies to get a look closer to the originals
Port is OKAY
Cacoulte
PLEASE UPDATE FOR IOS11! I have played the original game on my PC, and on XBLA. Yes iPhone is limited with controls, but I feel like the game(the trilogy ports)could use a few changes. 1.sensitivity on the movement analog could be toned down a bit. 2.the ability to change field of view between default or higher FOV 3.toggle on/off two things A. Invert y axis B. auto center on/off 4. Ability to rearrange icons on screen. Other than that its a decent port. If you wanna okay for the story, just play it on easy as the controls take some getting used to.
High Praises to Developer
shorted
I can’t thank you guys enough for updating the series. I have been waiting a long time and cannot believe it’s finally here in all its glory! You guys have done a stellar job with all 3 updates and hope that you are able to continue. I tried to donate but apparently the donate button is not working properly? Anyway, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Disappointing

While visually, it still remains true to the original, it seems like the app was rushed out of beta. The control scheme is horrid, that alone makes this game virtually unplayable. I could be wrong, but it might be laziness on the developer's part. Touch screen controls for FPS type games isn't anything new, and many have done a good job with it. Here its makes the game unmanageable. I have difficulty with moving while aiming at an angle (app automatically reverts to a direct horizontal view upon any movement), switching weapons in a timely manner, dual wielding (again a challenge for touch screens but many other FPS apps have managed this quite well) interfacing with doors, elevators, and terminals (due to the awkward position of the interface buttons) etc... Moreover the HUD controls are a complete eye sore. The game crashes quite a bit, the initial load up time is quite too long, and bugs persist on many levels (some levels cannot advance, so have to restart saved games, others will advance to levels out of sequence to the original game) I have to give this app 1 star. Well intended, poorly executed.
Whole series is awesome

This is the 3rd of 3. Play them in order. I used to feel that N64 goldeneye and N64 perfect dark were the 2 most important fps games shaping the genre, but after playing this Marathon definitely deserves a spot in fps history.
Like it... But
the nutbluff
I love this series, but the game only works on my iPad 2, anytime I try it on my iPod Touch 4 it loads the Marathon Logo then crashes back to the home screen. This happens for ALL of the Marathon games. Please fix ASAP
