Anonymous	This is enormously good fun, absolutely brilliant for early 1996. It's technically not all that great, but it's exuberant and it goes on forever but never gets boring. There's far too much health and ammo, although I like that because it makes the game a slaughterfest. There's lots of action, and the wild shifts in style come across as anarchic rather than amateurish.	x
Anonymous	Odd level with lots of twists and turns. It has a fairly fun gameplay but suffers from shoddy texturing. 3/5	x

You can do whatever you like with it (except sell it for gain) but 
I would appreciate this text file being included in any postings or 
collections of wads.
If you really want to you can use this as a base but it's much more fun 
creating your own from scratch.
	
If you use it for a base I would appreciate a copy of your amended wad or 
an E-Mail as to where I can get it from, e.g. Internet or CIS.

* Misc. Notes *

If you are into editing wads then this could be turned into a deathmatch
        or multi player level. There is a very large area which is ideal for this.
        I had the idea of creating it as co-operative until players reach this large
        area 'outside' and then it's everyone for him/herself. But I didn't...

The story? Well... you have to clear each area or room and kill all the
        monsters then use the exit. Thin stuff eh? [You may remember these word from
        an earlier Wad I wrote called 'punchit.wad', try that if you haven't already].

OK. The story starts many centuries ago when the planet was inhabited by people,
        plants and pussy cats. It was happy time but resources were getting low so YOU and
        a dozen or so of your fellow females and males are sent into deep space to find
        a fast food takeway. Only by bringing back the secret of Belugian Beefburgers and
        Vespan Vegetable Pizza can the planet survive. The journey will take many years so
        all the crew are put into deep freeze hibernation in handy chest freezers (obtainable
        only from your local NASA store).

Alas, as you slumber away the decades tucked amongst the popsicles and frozen peas
        things take a rather sinister turn back home. The monsters escape from the ID Software
        Dynamic Link Libraries where they are kept for experimental purposes.  As usual they
        take over the Earth and subjugate (look it up if you don't know!) humanity under the
        collar of tyranny. There is only one, yes one, entrance to Earth and that is kept under
        lock and key by a bunch of Doom2 creatures who seem to like going about in pairs, thus the
        name of the level. Unfortunately some of them cannot count!

They have built the:

Ever Changing Gray room: which changes it's layout from time to time.
        Wolfenstein prison area: these blue idiots keep specimins of the other monsters
                                 for a bit of fun to pass away the hours between fights.
        IMPerial guard house: Full of imps hoping to stop you from making it outside into
                              the big unknown.
        Tower of the machine gunners: surrounded by poisonous stuff you have to pass
                                      through the slime canal to get here and... find out.
        As well as several other tricky bits and pieces.

Meanwhile the sub-space 'HELP' signal sent by Earth has reached the ship and it is
        decided that an immediate return by sub-sub-sub-space is required, highly dangerous
        of course, but the quickest way to help our stricken world. But where is our hero (YOU)?
        You are on the planet below fighting it out with the evil Pizza-Vendor monster for
        the secret recipe that will save the human race. When you return to the space shuttle
        they have left you you find a note:

"Dear Thingy (we forgot your name), can you use this shuttle to make your own way back
        as we have gone to save the human race? Sorry it's a bit slow, suggest you use the
        freezer and arrive back after we have all been foolishly killed in our feeble attempts
        to kill the monsters. You will probably see our bodies scattered around when you get
        back, sorry! Anyway YOU are the hero and like the guys with the red shirts
        in the original Star Trek (TM?)  we are only here to make up the numbers.

Yours,   Captain Cannon-Fodder and crew.

PS: don't bother looking for the chocolate and nut ice cream in your hibernation
        Unit, we ate it all at the farewell party we held for you."

So, pausing only to shower off the tomato puree and selected herbs from your
        last fight you hucker down and sleep out the years as your shuttle slips back home.

When you get back your little craft is tractor beamed into a national parking
        lot and suddenly you lose conciousness. You awake in a little room, outside there are
        two demons raising the alarm and waiting to get you, don't forget to press F6 for
        an early morning call.

You will see your late colleagues as you make your way round the map.

Good luck and have fun ....
