Marathon Infinity Vidmaster’s Challenge - #07 Acme Station by Daniel Gentry (Asmodeus)

As another proof of concept, I’m uploading this remarkable film. This is almost universally regarded as the most difficult level in Marathon Infinity if not the entire trilogy. This is, as far as I know, the only film of this level under Vidmaster rules with fists only and no hits. (The player takes a hit in the next level but who cares.)

(Vidmaster rules: “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.”)

I have nothing to do with the development of either Marathon Infinity or Marathon Aleph One, and I’m not the player in this video; I merely encoded it. I’m probably going to upload another encode later; I’m still troubleshooting some things (I’d like to upload 4K if possible, and the video quality in this export wasn’t as high as I’d have liked) and will probably change some settings (in particular, most people on the Pfhorums want the classic HUD rather than the current default).

Daniel had this to say about this film:

“Tell Me My Mama Makes Even Better Cookies!

Asmodeus Vids Acme Station Without Getting Hit!

So my heart was pounding after I finished this one, but here it is.  Acme Station. In true Vidmaster fashion. Fists only. No Hits. Things didn't really even go according to plan on this one. I had to do some pretty crazy stuff, but it worked. Feel free to e-mail me with any questions or comments. Enjoy!”

(Coincidentally, Daniel attended college in my hometown, although I don’t personally know him, as far as I know.)

Marathon Infinity was created by Bungie and Double Aught Software. This specific level was designed by Greg Kirkpatrick. Marathon Aleph One is an open-source continuation of Marathon Infinity, worked on by a variety of contributors.
