Marathon Cheat Codes, Info & questions
an14...@anon.penet.fi
These codes were found in the marathon.fat application:
ZEROBUFFER - ? probably a debugginging code. Not sure what it does (not a
programmer).
PATHWAYS - The "TURBO" mode of Marathon. Hauls ass. -Doesnt- speed up
sounds like pathways does in TURBO mode. :) Great fun. I am not sure if the
baddies speed up as well, but I really dont think so.
PZBXAY - Gives you the "Alien Weapon".. It shoots like a chain gun in a
line. VERY powerful, though it doesnt look it from the shots. Hope Bungie
soups up the graphics & sounds for this gun 'cos the aren't the best now.
TOASTER - Gives you the flame unit.
FATMAN - Gives you the SSM Missile Launcher.
PISTOL - Probably gives you the pistol, but you have it on all the beta
levels, so it has no effect that I have noticed.
FISHEYE - Gives you "fisheye" view. Widens the area you can view. nice.
some redraw problems at times in this mode, esp. when dying. Doesnt last
forever - a while, but not forever.
ISEEYOU - Gives you the "blue screen".. Extended vision bonus which can be
found on the first level of the beta. Makes all
objects/aliens/bodies/people VERY clear (yellow on blue background)
HAVESOME - Gives you the invincibility bonus.
OXYGEN - I assume this gives you 100% Oxygen, but you cannot go outside in
the beta, hence you do not need oxygen.
HEALTH - Gives you 100% health. Nice considering there is NO health in the beta.
These codes I discovered myself by random guessing, and they arent in the
file with the rest of the codes. They MAY be beta specific. Actually, many
of these codes may be beta-only. We will see.
AMMO - Adds 1 clip,charge,etc to each type of ammo, up to 10 each, even if
you dont have the gun it goes with. Doesnt always list it in the item list,
but you do have it.
ASLAG - Gives you the SSM Missile Launcher (w/2 missiles), MA-75, 3 MA-75
clips and 3 MA-75 G (grenade) clips. May do more, not sure.
There simply *HAVE GOT* to be more codes. And I am sure we can find 'em if
we try.
Other interesting things found in the marathon files:
A menu which contains:
Net Game Type:
Tag
Total Carnage
Capture the flag
Shmear the Queer
Kill the man with the Ball
(How do we access this menu?.. can we?.. How does one access the menu bar
AT ALL in marathon?.. Please let us do this in the real game, bungie.)
and an empty Entry Points.. menu.
Looks like marathon will have more than just "Kill" as a netplay
option..(however, the beta only has carnage as an option) Hmm.. In DOOM all
you do is kill..
More observations:
- the light on the gun changes when you walk into different shafts of
light. Beautiful.
- The little line under your name ("aslag" in my copy under single player)
seems to indicate when you can come back (which you do by pressing
open/action).
- Anyone know what the flashing red dot in the upper-right hand corner is
for? anything?
- STR# 135 looks like modem play options/strings to me. Has bungie ever
said anything about direct (no ARA) modem play?
More later... Oh yes.. I may post some screenshots. What would you like to
see?.. there are 3 levels, all beautiful. Any preferences?
