This is the ultimate sound file for the game Marathon. Marathon originally released with a set of sounds that didn't do the game justice. This sound file currently replaces most of the common sounds and many of the more rare sounds.
The intent of this sound file is to make the Marathon experience more intense and realistic. These sounds should complement the graphics and game play.
Each sound has been individually digitilized, examined, edited, and imported into the Marathon Sounds file. Many of the sounds were pulled from popular movies. The sounds were edited for quality, brevity, timing, and graphics complementing.
Hopefully you will find these sounds more comfortable and better fitting; ultimately making the Marathon experience a better one.

Fine print:
This file may not be changed, this documentation must accompany this sound file at all times, and all rights are reserved for these sounds.
You are required to rent and watch every movie in which sounds were used from. They are in no particular order:
Aliens, Terminator, Terminator 2, Point Break, Fortress, Die Hard, and Predator
Any suggestions for sound sources should be sent to me.
Problems? Since this sound file is slightly larger than the original, you may have to increase the application's allocated memory. P.S. max it out dude.
Future Projects:
Version 2.x of the Marathon Sounds file. I'll continue to change these sounds to increase the overall quality of the audio. The next version will have a better documentation file including descriptors of each sound resource and its history.
Next version due by early Feb.
Simpsons sound file?
Star Trek sound file?
Pink Floyd sound file?
MaraSnd: This application will allow the user to custom construct their own sound file from libraries of sounds myself and others have recorded. The user can select, play, install and deinstall sounds to create a sound file that best represents their personal preferences.
