rdrunr89 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Is there any way to do a continuation on Marathon so it doesn't stop after level 15?? I was at 177,000 going for the 200,000 when the game ended after clearing lines on level 15. How do you keep going? Sorry if this was posted before. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to answer this dumb question but I'm stumped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AOS Puck Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I don't believe so. If you want to get the 500,000 medal, you need to increase the start speed up to like 10 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdrunr89 Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Thanks AOS. Didn't think about that which is really stupid of me considering I do that on all the other levels. Do you know if you get more points for Tetris' if you have the speed higher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AOS Puck Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I'm assuming you get more points for anything the higher the speed since I hit 500,000 during level 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaemon Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Just start at level 1, but make sure the Goal System is set to 'Variable'. I think the 'Variable' option only appears after you complete the 150 line 'Fixed' mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdubya93 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 asaemon, thats how i did it - it kind of snuck up on me, i was just going tetris after tetris and all the sudden i was at 350,000+ and i was just trying to keep it together line after line until i hit 503,000 ...got the achievement. Then soon after i got the dirty south triple tetris one ..and got all 1000 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anavryn Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I'm still stuck on this... I start at level 9 and get straight tetris' to level 11. I've completed level 15 with something like 320k. I really don't understand how to do this aside from starting at a much higher level and getting straight tetris'. I see people have used Variable to get the achievement, now my question is how do you prevent a Tetris from counting as 12 lines? I manage to only get about 220k with Variable starting at level 1. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A 2rue Beast Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I dont really remember the game to well but try starting at level 1. Make sure you have it set variable and just drop the pieces as fast as possible. The quicker you drop the pieces the more points you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DESTRO5 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 10x speed. shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cancermatt Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 In a hopeless attempt to raise my completion percentage, it was futile to begin on level 10 for me. But somehow, and I really don't know how I managed, but I popped the achievement just by starting on level 1 and about 8 lines to clear with no fill. Thanks for the tips, and most of all, inspiration to get at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
