Title:	Up 'n Down

Author:	Kurt Schulenburg
Description:	This DOOM II pwad was designed specifically with 2-player Deathmatch 2.0 in mind and continues with the Death for 2 Series. I got the idea from one of the million or so wads I've played recently, but forget which one. Basically, you've got a room that goes up and down, hence the clever title.
Credits:	Carolyn, Marty, the usual cast of characters. David L. Davis (no E-mail address) and his Amok10.wad for the rocket, plasma and fireball sounds and Robert Wong (Foxer@america.com) and Foxer.wad for the balance of the sounds.
Base:	New from scratch
Build time:	Approximately 8 hours.
Editor(s) used:	Deep--the registered version. Some DCK. A touch of DoomED the Real Thing. Lots of WinTex/DeuTex.
Bugs:	I didn't spend the usual time fooling with the textures, but it still looks pretty. Everything worked on my machine...

Anonymous	HAHA! I've got a fan or two! This is OLD even for Doom standards, and this particular level was designed around the Up Down gimmick. I was hooked on the way that rockets in particular would dive into the ground or shoot into the air as the floor moved. The cyber demon suffered from the same problems - and it made it fun to go against him when his aim was so off! Kurt Schulenburg	x
Anonymous	Well, could be part of a bigger level. Well, ok, it was designed for DM so... I'm sure the author could've done better.	x
Anonymous	Kurt Schulenburg rules - maker of many great maps.	x
Anonymous	Stupid idea put into an even stupider map.	x

Release date            : May 7. 1995 [Note by the uploader: That is
                          written in the textfile. The Timestamps have been
                          changed, because this was taken from the Level-CD
                          'Level-ROM' by E.D.V. publishing. That CD
                          distributed the files outside of the original
                          zips, published at Compuserve, and they have now
                          all the same Timestamp from the day of burning 
                          the cd.]

Misc. Author Info       : Major Wad Editor (yeah, right...), working on his
                          50th wad (or so)
                          -- terribly into texture alignment and
                          playability of the level.  Not into four hundred
                          Cyber Demons in one room.  Currently working on
                          the Death for 2 Series of Death Matches.

                          Amok10.wad for the rocket, plasma and fireball

                          Foxer.wad for the balance of the sounds.

Misc. Verbage           : I threw in a few monsters--Cacodemons and imps
                          --only because I like the cool sound of their
                          fireballs (Thanks David).  Because of the moving
                          floor, rockets and plasma blasts are a bit hard
                          to control--the shotgun and chaingun appear to be
                          immune to this effect and are quite useful.
                          The switches move the floor as a fast elevator
                          and the effect is more pronounced--be careful as
                          your own rockets can cause damage to you.

* Where to get the file that this text file describes *
[Tis is, what the author says in the original textfile:]
If you are reading this, you have it already.  However, I only have the
ability to post to CompuServe, so I'm sure that's where it was grabbed
from.  Of course, maybe somebody else dropped it on the Internet or
published it on CD-ROM...
[Note by the uploader: The author's guess was correct: I got this from the
Level-CD 'Level-ROM' by E.D.V. publishing. And now you can get it from the
/idgames-ftp-archives:]
