=====  to.be.a.vidmaster ====
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.

Rage hard..

### 5/5 — Dear Classic Marathon

*2026-01-07, version 6.7*

I love this gun so much! It is actually a good game! But shame, Bungie made it into extract game…

### 5/5 — Marathon!

*2026-01-06, version 6.7*

Halo!
OG Bungie!

### 5/5 — Dear Fans of Marathon

*2025-09-18*

If you read this, I...want to make what after the Marathon Trilogy. What after 92 or maybe 93 years when Marathon is gone and our beloved main-character is "dead" or trapped in timeline. I cannot make a game of this Aleph One engine, of course. Nor you guys can see my talks. But this time, let's revive it, with the story I am going to make: Classic Marathon: Interloper. Sounds cool, same as old as times. No longer the same officer but his destiny is always same...

### 5/5 — Not the new marathon, bungle.

*2025-09-06*

If you read this, please, please bring us back the new marathon, after triology, then Apotheosis X, now we need new one. The truly new story of the Marathon’s legacy. Please

### 5/5 — Great Fun

*2025-08-30, version 6.5*

Thanks for bringing this to iPhone! Good work

Now that last update to 1.1 does not launch on iOS 15.8.4.

### 4/5 — Mouse Support

*2025-02-20, version 6.1*

Keyboard support is here, would be nice if the mouse locked into the game (like how Minecraft does it)

### 5/5 — Another update to this Classic!

*2024-11-20, version 6.1*

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 HDR graphics upgrade makes this game look even better than it ever did before. And now the Spatial Audio and background music from fans takes it to a new level. 
Thanks for bringing this 1996 game to new life

### 2/5 — No custom map support?

*2024-11-06, version 6.1*

Only the game’s stock map can be played. No community maps can be selected or hosted. Insane!

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2024-07-26, version 5.11*

You can’t use the Backbone or any other controller with this game that requires a keyboard and mouse back in the day when it first released. Why do I need to have my fingers all over the screen when I have a controller?

### 3/5 — Amazing, but stuck in “Rage”

*2024-06-22, version 5.11*

I understand that Marathon Infinity has different story lines based on how one performs throughout. But I’m now playing the “Rage” chapter for the 4th time (starting with ACME station, ending with Where are Monsters in Dreams). I thought it was a punishment for not killing all aliens in the chapter, but it now looks more like a glitch. Any help is welcome.
