Excalibur: Morgana's Revenge v3.0
An ExcaliburWorld Production



by the Marathon Map Makers Guild


It was a time of peace and prosperity for mankind, before the space pirates of El Diablo began the raids of 2270. Laying ruin to space resorts, destroying outposts, capturing starships and viciously raging war on entire planets, the pirates showed no mercy. Earth's high-tech Marine defense force were decimated by the onslaught of these alien warriors. The forces of the pirates seemed unstoppable, and mankind's very survival hung in the balance. At the helm of El Diablo were the fiercest of the alien forces. Adorned in blue garments and wicked by nature, these pirate leaders were soon given the nickname of
Devil in a Blue Dress.

Then stepped in one super marine to infiltrate the pirate attacks. Rescuing resorts and outposts, winning battles against unthinkable odds, solving mind boggling puzzles, and conquering the pirate home world, one brave marine managed to save the galaxy from a most horrible demise and end the reign of the Devil in a Blue Dress. For a time, it seemed that this bloody interruption of human civilization had come to a close.

But wait! What's this? Discovered on the pirate home world during the cleanup mission are artifacts of unknown origin, strange devices and eerie potions that leave many questions unanswered. No one seemed to understand what these discoveries meant ... no one except the artificial intelligence known as Merlin. As Merlin unravels the mysteries and reveals surprising information about his own existence, our brave marine begins to realize that the real battle has not yet begun.

From the bowels of evil rises the most powerful foe to challenge you yet: the cunningly malevolent sorceress Morgana. Rising to power during the period of Camelot, she discovers a means to travel through time. Conjuring the darkness out of most every creature she encounters, she begins to build empires on her trek through time. Morgana has a diabolical plan and you may be the only chance we have to stop her!

You will begin your journey in the sickbay of the Federation starship called Kronos, an advanced exploration craft conducting experimentation with new time travel technology. Once reunited with Merlin, you will learn more about the adventures to follow, and the forces which you must overcome.

Welcome to Excalibur: Morgana's Revenge!




New Engine:
EMR 3.0 is based upon the AlephOne engine. AlephOne is an open source project that started from the Marathon 2 source code, but has been enhanced to bring new features to the Marathon gaming world. The engine now supports fog, hi-res replacement textures, music tracks, and MML and Lua scripting. AlephOne runs on Mac OS X, Mac OS 9, Windows and Linux.


What's New in EMR 3.0:
EMR Infinity (2.0) took 3 years to produce, and was vastly different than the original EMR M1 (1.0) version. After a 4 year hiatus, the MMMG decided to start work on EMR 3.0. This effort took another 3 years of work, including learning the MML and Lua scripting languages. In early 2007, EMR 3.0 is released with an amazing set of new features:


EMR Highlights:



Available on CD:
EMR Infinity is provided as a free download over the internet. However, given the large size of this package, we have also created a CD version. The CD version costs only $14.95 with free Priority shipping to any US address ($21.95 for shipping to non-US countries).
