Description:	Single or multi-player coop. Lots of nasties and no annoying mazes. Just bob & weave and blast away! Lots more enemies & bonuses in multi-player mode. All are beatable without cheats. If you have to cheat, take up tick-tack-toe or some other less challenging game. Most levels contain hidden transporters & weapons caches so multi players can beam back into action. P.S. Coloured doors stay open so you don't have to go looking for keys again. [ Watch for land mines in Level 5 ]

TimeOfDeath	it was fun	x
Anonymous	sweet!	x
Anonymous	One of my favorite mods...old school yes, crudish yes, but very fun. Pure gameplay, pure DOOM; what else do you want? I'd rate: 2/5 for looks, 5/5 for gameplay.	x
Anonymous	While the level-design and architecture isn't that pretty, the game-play is simply awesome. The custom sounds are a very nice touch. Each level is filled with something new and fun, aside from the bland texture and flat choices. Overall, I give this is 5/5 for game play, a 2/5 for looks. A must-have for hard-core doomers, in my opinion.	x
Anonymous	Hard to judge. It's technically crude, and almost ruined by a distracting sound replacement that makes all the mistakes (pops and clicks, overlong samples, the bloody "Aliens" door sound). But there's a lot of action - the author uses revenants and hell knights instead of imps and demons, and it's refreshingly meaty. It's unpolished and monotonous though - the layouts are simple and there are SS men on the first level.	x
Anonymous	Could have been better if more time was spent on the levels. -DarkWolf	x

Bitchin Levels 1 thru 10  - Summer 97 Version
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(replaces btchn1-7, bitchin8, bitchin9, and btchn10.wad)

I know it's a big file, but they're BIG levels and the new sounds take
up some space too. (The sounds are pretty cool ... nothing weenie! 
- and I didn't change many monster sounds - it's nice to know what's
after you.)

All 10 levels of the Bitchin Series. Primarily designed for coop play 
but works well in single play mode. I have received lots of favourable 
responses from fellow doomers. You can read them at the Bitchin Homepage.

Please send your own review if you find the time.

For those who have already lived thru The Bitchin Series, these are the same
levels with improved lighting and textures. I also added a few LAND MINES
so watch your step (don't worry, there aren't many).
Be careful, UV is a little harder! (:

Let me know if there are problems. As with all other programming, doing a few
fixes often creates the need for some more fixes!

                        All are beatable without cheats. If you have to 
                        cheat, take up tick-tack-toe or some other less
                        challenging game. Most levels contain hidden 
                        transporters & weapons caches so multi players
                        can beam back into action.

P.S. Coloured doors stay open so you don't have to
                        go looking for keys again.
