Hey, as I have said before I am a long time Marathon player(solo) and fan. One thing that I am still curious about is what the Marathon actually looks like. If any one has any picture of her, please post it. It doesn't matter at the whether the pic(s) are good quality or not I just want satisfy my curiousity, thanks.

The Marathon looks like one of Mar's moons, because that's what it was. Here's a third party artist's rendition. I hoped to find a screenshot of what it looks like in the game, but couldn't find one with a first pass of searching online. So, go play one of the Pfhor ship levels in M1A1, and look out the windows. Or, open the M1A1 shapes in Anvil, and you can find it there.
Here's what it looks like in the game: [attachment=1678:marathon.jpg]
Here's what it looked like before they converted it into a starship:

Here are two images from the unofficial Marathon comic (circa 1995) by one of the original Vidmasters: Miha.
If you actually want to see the Marathon in game, you can view it from the Pfhor ship in a few levels in M1. It is used as a scenery object.
Childhood is not a race. It's a journey.
theres an extremely awesome looking one in Marathon:Resurrection for UT
Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
zomg I just realized I've been looking at the Marathon the wrong way all along. I've always wondered what that big white wheel with the red dot in the center was, sticking off the back end, and I just realized from looking at that comic that I was looking at it in the wrong perspective this whole time. It's not a wheel sticking off the back end, it's a circular area indented into the ship: the ramjet engine! Now it all makes sense.Ares Ex Machina wrote:Here are two images from the unofficial Marathon comic (circa 1995) by one of the original Vidmasters: Miha.

Yeah, you'd also have to be a good 60 ft tall.
