Description:	A Medium-large level based on an uncharted desert island in the Devil's Triangle. Focus is on single play action. E-mail me your thoughts!

Base:	New level from scratch
Build time:	About 2 and a half months of swearing...off and on.
Editor(s) used:	Various map editing utilities Wintex 4.3 (Olivier Montanuy) Rmb 2.1 (Jens Hykkelbjerg) Adobe Photoshop 4.1
Bugs:	!SAVEGAME BUFFER OVERRUN! You can play this level with the regular Doom2 v1.9 but you will not be able to save your game. Since saving is the most powerful weapon in any game...It would be wise to use an advanced Doom engine. I recommend Boom (specifically PRBoom for high res). You can download the Boom engine at this address: http://teamtnt.com Also, sky texture may not align correctly on Doom engines that allow the player to look up and down. Everything else seems fine.

mason1729	One of the earliest maps I ever played. Pretty good fun, if a bit flawed.	x
Anonymous	too hard. not good. primitive texture 1/5	x
Anonymous	The map dragged on slightly but overall was built very well. the crashed plane at the beginning - great touch.	x
Doomkid	I remember playing this when it was new as a youngster. It's a damn fun and damn long map htat's aged well, play it and enjoy it. Small secret: Go to the dark tree stub to make the yellow key appear by the dead marine.	x
TimeOfDeath	liked except I wish the SSG wasn't 172/455 monsters in	x
Anonymous	This is a hard and not good map. 3/5/07	x

Cheesy Doom story	: The UAC has hired you as a security agent in charge of 
			  overseeing the safe transportation of a BFG9000.  While
			  flying over the Bermuda Triangle, your small cargo jet
			  is suddenly shot down by an unseen missile which separates 
			  the cockpit from the rest of the plane.  You wake up 
			  inside of what remains of the airplane, crashed in the
			  middle of a mysterious desert island.  You crawl forward
			  noticing nobody around but the dead pilot and what seems 
			  to be the remains of alien life forms.  Realizing that 
			  this must be how so many other soldiers have disappeared 
			  in the past, you decide it would be best to find the cockpit
			  and radio for help.  Hopefully you'll find the BFG before
			  the bastard that shot you down does!  Maybe you'll find 
			  some long lost soldiers that are still living here today...

* Difficulty Settings *

Designed this one strictly for ultra violence.  I really couldn't see the use in simply 
deleting or replacing monsters.  I always feel like I'm getting ripped off if I play 
anything less than UV.  Instead I threw in more health & ammo for easier levels.

================================================================
* Hints *			 
A few intense/tight area fights...save often.
On UV, ammo will become scarce in a few areas.  You may have to run forward into dangerous 
areas to grab more...however, there should be plenty to get you through the entire level.  
Use BFG wisely.  You'll only get a few shots. (no plasma rifle)
Also, the yellow key to the cargo plane in the beginning is closer than you think...don't 
wander off too far!

================================================================
* Installing this wad *

To play this PWAD file, unzip it into the directory where you put 
DOOM 2 then start DOOM 2 command line like this:

DOOM2 -FILE BERMUDA.WAD

Windows (95\98...) users.

If you have a Windows based Doom engine that does not have a launcher, you
can run this PWAD by creating a shortcut to your Doom2.exe file, then go to
your shortcut's "properties" and add -FILE BERMUDA.WAD to the command line.
Start the game by running the shortcut.
Use example below.  This example assumes that the path to your Doom2.exe 
file is:  C:\Doom2\Doom2.exe

C:\Doom2\Doom2.exe -file bermuda.wad
