Films for Patched Marathon/Miha may be freely distributed as long as all films and the patcher which enables these films to be properly replayed are included together unchanged in any way.
If you have any comment please send me e-mail. I'm not sure whether I can reply to all e-mails though.
***CAUTIONS: THESE FILMS CAN BE REPLAYED WITH PATCHED MARATHON ONLY!! ***
To replay these 21 films, you must apply the patches to Marathon using the patcher that comes with the films. Please read "Read Me" for the patcher first.
ABOUT THESE FILMS:
All 21 stages were recorded at the most difficult level, Total Carnage.
Well, you may say these are only cheating because I used the patcher for recording. But I think these films can be the proof of that Marathon can be completed at Total Carnage.
I didn't use the patcher just for easier play but for decreasing a fatal disadvantage in some scenes.
HISTORY OF MY FILMS:
In erly March, I completed Marathon at Tortal Carnage, without any cheating ofcourse.Basically I hate cheating.
When I reported at NIFTY-Serve, the biggest commercial BBS in Japan, that I made it, there were some people wishing me to upload films to show my techniques in all stages. But, as you know, when you want to record a film in any stage other than the first stage 'Arrival', you have to click 'begin new game' while pressing 'option' and 'command' keys. This means that you are forced to start recording a film with very limited weapons and ammo. Despite this disadvantage I made the films of 7 stages which I have already released.
For making the films of remaining 20 stages, Naoki Yokoyama developed an excellent patcher for Marathon which makes it possible to begin any stages with sufficient weapons, ammos and shields. Thankfully he made it to see my techniques. Thus I decided to make the films using the patched Marathon,and here's the result.
ABOUT SECRET ROOMS:
In my films, I didn't go to some secret rooms which:
a) I could go and back at Normal level, but I couldn't at Tortal Carnage; or
b) I could go and back at Tortal Carnage, but too difficult for me to do so without saving; or
c) I knew where there was, but I forgot to go there because It was not so attractive to me; or
d) I could go and back at Tortal Carnage, but I thought going there would make the films too boring; or
e) I didn't know at the time I recorded;or
f) I don't know where there is even now.
I hope you all to enjoy these films. Thank you.
