This Day in Marathon.
Day #641. Happy Marathon Infinity Announcement Day. Yes folks, on this day 29 years ago Bungie announced the development of Marathon Infinity at Macworld Expo Tokyo, Japan 1996. The Bungie Booth girls were out in force for the event.  The Bungie press announcement read: Never-before-used enhancements will free the player from the strict linearity of previous games...The announcement came as something of a surprise. Greg Kirkpatrick had left Bungie some months before so who was going to do it? Matt Soell had the answer. Matt wrote: "Greg is working with us again, although he's working from his new home in Brooklyn, NY. He's put together some VERY interesting ideas, and while I can't talk about them in any detail yet, I can tell you that the plot of the scenario in Marathon Infinity will be as labyrinthine as you've come to expect - perhaps more so.."Indeed, Marathon fans are still trying to extract themselves from this labyrinthine nightmare. RUN  Marathon by Jason Roach on DeviantArt. 2017. I drop my gunYes... RUN. _YOU,ARE…But that's enough running for today. In other news... kanokoga (@kanokoga) completes Marathon in fine style.  Ingue Ferroque by kanokoga (@kanokoga) on x.com. February 21, 2025 kanokoga writes: The Pfhor are repelled. Their ship vanished, leaving behind a thousand bodies in space-courtesy of a funny elf girl. Frieren saved Marathon and many BOBs. The colony on Tau Ceti had also repelled the Pfhor attack, thanks to nine military Mjolnir Mark IV cyborgs covertly living.What an excellent tour-de-force of Marathon in the form of images. Hats off to kanokoga and Frieren.  Go Marathon! |

Day #640. It's sketchy Friday! We've got sketches. But first... kanokoga (@kanokoga) takes on Juggernauts in the penultimate level of Marathon.
kanokoga writes: Try Again. Ahh, Juggernauts... the biggest and toughest enemies in Marathon. They fire homing grenades and machine gun rounds. At least they're kind enough to beep while falling before they explode. This is the only level where Frieren encounters them.Juggernauts... and that exit terminal. It is probably the most visited terminal in the whole game. Hence the level name. The reason for this is twofold:

Day #639. Pistols Akimbo. No time for Ain't Got Time Pfhor This... kanokoga (@kanokoga) is on the home straight diving into the final chapter... Rebellion.  Welcome to the Revolution by kanokoga (@kanokoga) on x.com. February 19, 2025 kanokoga writes: Welcome to the Revolution. The S'pht Compilers have finally rebelled and are fighting alongside Frieren. This is the happiest moment for Frieren, who has fought almost alone until now. She also knows what to do if they block the corridors.One wonders what Frieren thought of the mysterious Pfhor egg on the previous level.

Indeed, Bungie have known about campers since Myth: The Fallen Lords.  Airstream camper on A Traitors Gate in Myth: The Fallen Lords. 1997. |
kanokoga has quickly made it all the way to Pfhoraphobia and killed the Pfhor cyborg.
Pfhoraphobia by kanokoga (@kanokoga) on x.com. February 18, 2025
kanokoga writes:
Pfhoraphobia. Frieren kills a Pfhor cyborg that enslaves all S'pht Compilers. The cyborg is actually very weak; it only takes a few bullets before it dies. However, it still stands after death, so I kept firing at it for a while the first time.Pfhoraphobia (Fear of Pfhor) is designed to put the fear into you. The fear of dying.
There is no shield recharge station or pattern buffer on this level so when you die, and you will, you have to start all over again... and again... and again.
It's akin to an Extraction Shooter where if you die you lose your gear and loot, and have to start all over again. It makes staying alive and extracting a priority.
Of course you always need one more piece to get that Prime.

Fear.
Fear.
Fear.
(Jason Jones, comp.sys.mac.games, 25 January 1995)
Fear.
Fear.
(Marathon Spoiler Guide)
Fear. Rumours of a secret Pattern Buffer on Pfhoraphobia spread like wild fire during the early part of 1995. Some said it was in a secret passageway. Others behind a secret wall panel. Some said you needed the secret Hypervision to see it. While others said it couldn't be seen, you just had to use the action key in the right spot.
Fear.
Fear.
(Tuncer Deniz, Marathon: The Official Strategy Guide)
Fear. Some say that the Pfhor cyborg controller looks like Osama bin Laden when viewed up close. No surprises there, didn't Bungie use the image of Saddam Hussein in one of their other games? Others question why the Compilers still attack after you kill their controller. Some question Bungie's motives for creating games where the "bad dude at the end" can be killed with just a few bullets. Others simply point to May 1, 2011.

Day #637. Fast and Frieiosa. kanokoga (@kanokoga) doesn't hang about... she's on the Pfhor ship and Frieren is packing a punch.  Pfhor Your Eyes Only by kanokoga (@kanokoga) on x.com. February 17, 2025 kanokoga writes: Pfhor Your Eyes Only. This is the first alien ship level. Frieren tests her SPNKR missile launcher, which she obtained in the previous level. I'm not a big fan of alien ship levels, but the background music is nice.Wait till Frieren tries the TOZT. She will... fly and fry™.

Day #636. Sir Double D is taking a break from his inconic moments in Marathon series to give us...  NuMarathon (work in progress)) by Sir Double D on the Alright Runners™ Discord. February 13, 2025 Sir Double D writes: Super early WIP of some Nu-Marathon stuff I wanna do. Finally got around to figuring out the perspective toolAnd a more recent image.  NuMarathon (work in progress)) by Sir Double D on the Alright Runners™ Discord. February 15, 2025 Sir Double D writes: was working on this a lil bit last night, and started messing around with brushes for like foliage and textures. might have gotten a lil ahead of myself in the process. still, super not finished but I think it's heading in some direction.Now before I get the inevitable emails about the 'gummy bears' colors and... "Not My Marathon". Let me remind you.  Marathon 2 colors by cookedbread on Marathon Discord. May 4, 2024. In 1995 Marathoners were like... "the new Marathon looks too colorful." (circumstances are cyclical) Someone who is not taking a break from Marathon is kanokoga (@kanokoga) and her Marathon/Frieren crossover series:  Neither High nor Low by kanokoga (@kanokoga) on x.com. February 16, 2025 kanokoga writes: Neither High Nor Low. Frieren needs to activate a platform in the main shaft, which penetrates several levels, to reach the top level. Dark narrow corridors, vertical combat, crushing platforms, and a room with long windows overlooking outer space-my favorite levelI can remember ducking in behind that pillar to avoid the Hunter shots myself back in the day. Neither High nor Low was created by Greg Kirpatrick, he would later reveal: This map was inspired by the shootout that Luke and Leia get into right before they swing across the chasm in Star Wars.No swinging for Frieren.

Day #635. Keenan Van Richardson (aka LocustTheSpawn) gives us...  Marathon inspired project by LocustTheSpawn (@LocustTheSpawn) on x.com. February 10, 2025 Keenan writes: another piece for a marathon inspired project im working on!Really puzzling. Is it Classic Marathon? NuMarathon? Marathon XXX (Get your hand off my butt)? But I digress. It may be related to these two game project images posted by Keenan last year.
According to Keenan the first one has "got a bit of reference from marathon". Keenan is no stranger to Marathon. We've featured his artwork on the Story page back on January 12, 2024 and September 25, 2023. Hard to choose a favorite. But if I had to it would be... Dust in the Spotlight.  Dust in the Spotlight by LocustTheSpawn (@LocustTheSpawn) on Twitter. September 9, 2023 Like all good pieces of art it makes you think. The title itself "Dust in the Spotlight" is evocative. Motes of dust caught in a beam of light swirl like tiny galaxies. Elusive to the touch, dark matter offered fleetingly to sight. On a lighter note... kanokoga (@kanokoga) on X gives us another Marathon/Frieren crossover. kanokoga writes: Colony Ship For Sale, Cheap! An infamous level where Frieren needs to adjust the height of six elevators to reach the exit. If the height of one of them is wrong, she has to take a long way back to the control room. And there are explosive bugs at every corners.Ah the ingenuity. Go Frieren! |

Day #634. Inspired by Playstation's State of Play on Wednesday, AlexB207 (@AlexB207Swag) gives us...  no marathon at state of play by AlexB207 (@AlexB207Swag) on x.com. February 13, 2025 Alex simply entitled the piece... no marathon at state of play. If you know your Greek mythology then you will know this is a play on Sisyphus who was made to eternally push a boulder up a hill by Zeus. When the boulder reached the top it would roll down the other side and Sisyphus had to push it back up again. It has become a metaphor for the human struggle against the absurdity of life (like waiting for Marathon). The inset image in the top left is the Marathon equivalent of the Chudjak 'nothing ever happens' meme.
But things are happening... people are playing Marathon! kanokoga (@kanokoga) on X gives us more Marathon/Frieren crossovers.  The Rose by kanokoga (@kanokoga) on x.com. February 13, 2025 kanokoga writes: The Rose. Frieren wipes out pfhors, including new species Hulk, to rescue BOB(Marathon crew). This level contains 2nd pistol and some secret terminals about the third Martian war, among other things. She doesn't have to save BOB, btw.Not saving BOB? Oh Frieren!  Moving swiftly on... skipping two levels...  G4 Sunbathing by kanokoga (@kanokoga) on x.com. February 14, 2025 kanokoga writes: G4 Sunbathing. This is vacuum level and Zeus class fusion pistol is the only weapon Frieren can rely on. This pistol has two fire modes, like the energy pistol in Halo. They introduce new enemy, hunter, which is well armored like the ones in Halo.Sound like Halo is a lot like Marathon?  |

Day #633. It's sketchy Friday! We've got sketches. First up. kamila_a (aka kam) on tumblr gives us another humorous sketch of her playing through Marathon. Having finally got through G4 Sunbathing she is now on Blaspheme Quarantine.  Kam writes: HIS SONG IN THE TERMINAL. not cute!!!! Ais only do that when VERY stressed!!!!!!This is what happens when you get kidnapped by a Rampant AI. But I digress. Kenji (Runner #333) over on the Alright Runners™ Discord gives us two versions of a Runner's helmet, before and after fungal infection.
Back on June 4, 2023 (yes, a long... long time ago) we highlighted the fungal infestation that was taking place in a piece of Marathon concept art. The LINK transit system.  Of course this lead to a discussion on the Fungal Zombies that Rob McLees originally created for Marathon 2 but went unused and would later reappear as the Flood in Halo.  Marathon 2: Durandal concept art by Robert McLees (1995). ref As Rob McLees himself wrote: Pfhorget the Bollocks, It's the Fungal Zombies!This is of course is a play on the 'Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols' album title by the punk rock band the Sex Pistols in 1977. Will the Fungal Zombies re-reappear in Marathon? Why yes, this is a Bungie game afterall. (circumstances are cyclical)But did Bungie model their strobe MIDA t-shirt after the Sex Pistols t-shirt?
Happy sketchy Friday. Stay sketchy. |

Day #632. PlayStation's State of Play was...   In other news... kanokoga (@kanokoga) on X gives us more Marathon/Frieren crossovers.  Arrival by kanokoga (@kanokoga) on x.com. February 10, 2025 kanokoga writes: Arrival. Frieren arrived at the gigantic colony ship Marathon in an evacuation pod. Leela, one of the ship AIs told her the ship is under attack by alien Phfor. I feel this level is somewhat complex for a first level.I guess you have to blame Greg Kirkpatrick for making it more complex. Jason Jones initially made it much smaller and called it 'Origin'.  Greg added the maze section, the secret ammo room and the cryptic terminals with the compilers.  Moving on...  Bigger Guns Nearby by kanokoga (@kanokoga) on x.com. February 12, 2025 kanokoga writes: Bigger Guns Nearby. Frieren got a new weapon, M.75. It's basically a mix of that inaccurate assault rifle and Brute grenade launcher in Halo. The game manual says that using M.75 is like "wrestling a greased pig".Based on that smile Frieren is enjoying her time on the Marathon. Mjolnir Recon 54 does not smile.

Day #631. Sparkle on! It's Wednesday!  Sparkle on! It's Wednesday by qrowscant (@qrowscant) on tumblr. December 8, 2023 PlayStation's State of Play airs later today. The 40+ minute show begins at 2pm PT, 5pm ET, 11pm CET, or if you are in Japan it's tomorrow at 7am JST. While the running order is usually kept under wraps there is certainly an expectation among Marathon fans that there will be some news about Bungie's next game. After all it has been 631 days since the Marathon Announcement and not 777 days as some people think. If there is no Marathon news... then more BoBs are gonna die!

Day #630. And now for something completely different.  This Marathon/Frieren crossover piece is by kanokoga (@kanokoga) on X. Frieren is the title character and protagonist of the Japanese manga series Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, which first appeared in 2020. So you know you've made it when your 30 year old game gets crossed with a highly popular 1000+ year old elven mage. kanokoga's artwork makes nice use of the Marathon poster and the red Marine image from the Marathon demo.  Frieren obviously likes the big guns. The image reminds me of Alex Okita's Marathon Girl.  Marathon Girl by Alex Okita (Bungie West). October 1998. The above artwork dates back to 1998. At the time Alex Okita was working on Oni at Bungie's west coast office (Bungie West). It was one of the first representations of the Security Officer as a female character. Go Marathon! |

Day #629. Sometimes you come across a post on tumblr about Marathon that makes you stop and... ...but I am getting ahead of myself. Let's start this story from the beginning. kamila_a (aka kam) on tumblr began playing Marathon recently and posted about it. For example.  Kam writes: to explain: surrounded by enemies. No health. No ammo. Soon as i exited the terminal i was FUCKEDDDDYes, we have all been there. And this one.  Kam writes: the pfhor watching me try to learn grenade jumping (running around an empty room staring at my feet for a bit then randomly exploding myself)Classic! And another one from The Rose.  They go on and on... ...but back to the main story. On January 31, 2025 Kam revealed: Im putting out the batsignal or whatever does anyone in this big wide world know how to get through marathon level g-4 sunbathing. I have been at this for several weeks.Several weeks?!!!  Then on February 7, 2025 success! THANK YOU TO THE KIND SOULS WHO OFFERED MARATHON HELP I BEAT THE LEVEL AFTER 1 SOLID MONTHKam followed up with these two images.   Kam writes: youre in the dms that reach nothing and no one for ninety two years. im kidnapping himTook me a while to figure it out. And that's the story for today. Play Marathon. |

Day #628. shiftklick on the Alright Runners™ Discord gives us a two Runners designs which he entered into the Marathon 30 years anniversary (M30) Art Competition. And yes, it's a movie. shiftklick writes: Here is my entry. 2 design for runners, one is a medic and the other a breacher. I wanted to do a third one but I didn't have the time. These are made in blender using quicktools and greasepencil.Nice designs. The skull-like image on the UESC Runner might look it was inspired by the Superintendent from Halo 3: ODST but I like to think it is based on the Playge Skall design. Playge create high end EDC gear and toys in the great State of Texas, USA. They have Human and Pfhor (third eye) versions of their Playge Skall lanyard/zipper pull beads.
Just the ticket for all you Pfhor lovers out there. But back to shiftklick's Runner designs. These have a similar style to Kejun Wang, a Los Angeles based concept artist. We featured his work on the Story page back in June 27, 2024.
Kejun is now a Senior Concept Artist at Bungie. |

Day #627. Sir Double D (@sirdoubled.bsky.social) continues his iconic moments in Marathon with The Rose.  The Rose by Sir Double D (@sirdoubled.bsky.social) on Bluesky. February 6, 2025. The Security Officer saves seven BoBs. Yes, seven! Sir Double D depicts the last room on this level. Dead centre of the rose shaped part of the map (hence the level name The Rose).  The room is called the Pistil and the surrounding area are the Petals.  There are a lot of BoBs in the Pistil and you are going to have to save as many as you can if you have any hope of satisfying Leela. You have allowed too many of the civilians to be killed. It is doubtful that any of the survivors will give us any useful information.To make matters worse the level is set to Extermination meaning you have to kill all the aliens. If you don't Leela won't let you leave. You have not sufficiently secured the area. There are civilians who are still in danger.  Bad Robot. No one ever said Marathon was easy! Seven interesting things about The Rose.

Day #626. It's sketchy Friday! We've got sketches. First up. Matrix_XV gives us a sketch of the Marathon Marine in Rip and Tear mode.  Marine by Matrix_XV on the marathon.OxoD.7 Discord. March 3, 2022. This is actually styled on the original Security Rip and Tear meme by Medd back in 2018.  Security Rip and Tear by Medd on the Marathon Discord. March 28, 2018. Medd's artwork itself is styled on DoomGuy from the 1996 Doom comic book entitled Knee Deep in the Dead.  Doom comic. Issue 1. May 1996. The Rip and Tear meme has gone on to become a popular meme across many different genres. Up next... AlexB207 gives us akimbo flechettes.  Marine with dual SMG flechettes by AlexB207 on the Alright Runners™ Discord. December 19, 2024. The SMG flechette was introduced in Marathon Infinity and you can only wield one. Fortunate because it is hard enough finding enough ammo for one. It was created by Bungie's Robt McLees for Double Aught who were doing the 'Blood Tides of Lh'owon' scenario for Bungie. Somewhat surprisingly Robt is not credited in the Marathon Infinity manual for creating it. The SMG flechette featured in the Marathon 101 Competition. Question 11 asked:  Q11. During Marathon Infinity's development Double Aught requested that the second trigger on the SMG turn the player's hand 90 degrees so you could shoot "gangsta-style". Who was reported to have vetoed this request? Choose the correct one. (5 marks) 1. Jason JonesHappy sketchy Friday. Stay sketchy. |

Day #625. Runners... start your engines! So the latest Destiny 2 Heresy update (on February 4) apparently contains two 'work in progress' images of a Marathon-themed Sparrow (aka hoverbike) hidden in the game files.   Trust the UESC to put two diesel truck engines into their blocky, monotone designed Sparrows. These belchers will wake the dead and leave a trail of smoke that even the Nar would be proud of. But they are Fast As F...  Built in NuDetroit, circa 2795. Put on board the UESC Equanimity July 7, 2797. Destination... Tau Ceti VI.   |

Day #624. If I Had a Rocket Launcher, I'd Make Somebody Pay. Paz (@TheRealQuenny) gives us Mr. Marathon with SPNKR. 
If I Had a Rocket Launcher, I'd Make Somebody Pay by Paz (@TheRealQuenny) on x.com. January 21, 2025.
Here's a work in progress of the full head shot 
If I Had a Rocket Launcher, I'd Make Somebody Pay (WIP) by Paz (@TheRealQuenny) on x.com. January 21, 2025.
It is intersting to note that the original SPNKR-X17 SSM Launcher had the offical nickname 'Lazyboy'. However it never caught on with fans and SPNKR became the defacto name with all its inevitable connotations. It even became the punchline to a Christopher Barrett joke on the Marathon Discord shortly after the Marathon announcement. It went like this.  Christopher Barrett (aka Oryx) on the Marathon Discord. Time is in GMT.  Christopher Barrett (aka Oryx) on the Marathon Discord. Time is in GMT. But I digress. The SPNKR-X17 SSM Launcher and later the SPNKR-XP SSM Launcher has a certain cachet among Marathon fans. The "je ne sais quoi" of Marathon. It is hard to aim. Its ammunition is limited. But it packs a long range punch that is so satisfying. Its desirability is epitomized in the epic Marathon 2 level "If I Had a Rocket Launcher, I'd Make Somebody Pay" by Greg Kirkpatrick. Only by Vidmastering this level do you truly understand what it stands for. |

Day #623. Time in limited. So RUN! 
Marathon Marine running by AlexB207 (@AlexB207Swag) on x.com. February 2, 2025.
AlexB207 (@AlexB207Swag) gives us this gritty action shot of Mr Marathon with his go-to Assault Rifle. Of course the M.75 Assault Rifle is highly inaccurate at long range due to a manufacturing defect. No doubt caused by underpaid laborers toiling for a thinly-veiled government-owned arms manufacturing machine (oiled with the blood of the underclasses, by the way) which existed solely to line the pockets of the greedy bureaucrats who run the military/industrial complex. The original M.75 Assault Rifle was described as a ridiculous toy designed to impress aging pompous generals. Its preposterously short barrel and prodigious recoil made firing the weapon akin to wrestling a greased pig. But Mr. Marathon likes wrestling greased pigs and he doesn't do long distances. He likes the close and personal touch.

Day #622. Foreshadowing. Back in November 2021 Baran on the Marathon Discord posted a series of images. Here are two.  Tunnel by Baran on the Marathon Discord. November 21, 2021.  Tunnel by Baran on the Marathon Discord. November 21, 2021. Marathon cosplay in 2021?  Marathon Annoucement trailer. May 24, 2023.

Post Colony Trauma by Jack (@strider_au) on twitter.com. March 13, 2024.
So how did Baran know? Prior to today Baran is probably best known for interviewing the reculsive Greg Kirkpatrick back in 2019. Here's part of that interview: Baran: My favorite part of Infinity is easily the dream terminals. Were these terminals made with any coherence in mind, i.e. were they connected, or was their purpose to create questions for the player?Don't worry folks... the 2046 annivesary is fast approaching. The answer to the 'ultimate question' will be revealed. But today we ask... how did Baran know? |
