Karl! Wait...

Yes for sure "celebrities" have played many a vid game. Almost 100% of it done with heavy alias and secret random stuff.

One for example was a guy on the ancient Bungie Myth servers, going by a name something like "Cool*WithNoAtt"...if I remember correctly. The alias was basically saying "Cool Star With No Attitude". I may be able to dig something from digital dirt.

We know that Tom Cruise played Marathon, at least.

Wait, what?

Yo, God! Haven't read stuff in a long time, and only just now saw your TFL thing where you scooped all those original Badlands TFL maps. God love you! You saved truly excellent stuff. Deep memories, too. Badlands were some of the best stuff ever, for Myth.

Saw you mentioned a thing called "Sacred Lands". Don't remember anything about it...but there was a map sorta named that way, back in 2015 (maybe longer) on a thing called "Remembrance of Immortals rc2". Map named "02 FG Sacred Grounds Overhead". Of course it might mean nada. But figured I'd tell ya.

It's in here:

Hey, never know if it was an old TFL image converted, or what.

Have fun!

My God, Jon God! Took a look at your TFL empire. Wow. I mean, that's a colossal amount of work. I think it's utterly fab that you restored those original Myth 1 maps. Far too many for me to name that were so cool so long ago.

What's so interesting is, back in the days Myth 1 came around and those maps you've restored were sailing about, what a different world it was. Technologically, culturally, socially. I think one time I played a few of those maps with the peeps who actually made them. Very interesting stuff.

This may sound odd, but I noticed there was no copy of the map "Temple of the Tain" by Remus Shepherd. In the Read Me it says, "Produced in association with 'Miracle Worker' Loshadh". Now the only real reason this stood out was, yeah, it was a map that the creator had on Bungie somehow, for testing. He and I ran through it. Not the most incredible map, but man that's ancient stuff...deep at night on a 14.K BAUD modem.

If at all interested, it's here:

Hey, did you ever talk to the person(s) who made that super-professional archive "World’s Ultimate Bungie Software Myth Maps Collection"...? Wonder how that all came about.

Keep being excellent!

This gallery was for maps I am thinking about for a Volume 2. Temple of the Tain is in there. I had to draw the line somewhere for Volume 1, since it was originally planned to be 5 or so maps. ;p

I also would love to port over some of the remaining TFL Coops, Sir Mauriac's Tale and such. If I did all that, TFL would be pretty heavily mined at that point, all that would be left would be remixes of the stock maps.

As for who uploaded that, I'd love to know more, I never heard from them.

This is all on the backburner at the moment, have a few other plates spinning, but I'd love to get all the noteworthy content from TFL over, so that people can still enjoy it (TFL doesn't play all that well these days)

Jon! The God! Wow, man. That image collection.

Many people don't/won't tie-in, but serious history there. Stuff that was kinda "big deal" in the days, like that Rocky Mountain map and a few others. Memories, for sure. Good ones.

One thing: "Sir Mauriac's Tale" was possibly the very best 3rd party solo ever released for Myth 1. Almost better than Bungie solo! Incredible game-play. Still remember the great time with "Green Eggs and Ham" as a SMT episode. Hell of a map.

But whomever it was that created "World’s Ultimate Bungie Software Myth Maps Collection"...

...didn't leave an e-mail or ID that I can find. Must say, has to be the top professional assembly of Myth and Marathon ever made. Had to have taken a very long time. Maybe the guy who died did it? No idea.

Waste of time looking for e-mail. Did read this, though:

"Best Ways to Contact a Creator Is to Post a Review/Comment: Leave a review on the specific item's page. This is the primary way to trigger a notification to the uploader's account. Check Metadata: Sometimes creators put contact information (website, username) in the description or metadata of the item."

Interesting. Seems you should get somewhere, being God and all.

I might get to it eventually - once I am done some of my current projects, I will look into finishing the TFV ports. I'd love to try Sir Mauriac's Tale, as I never did.
