There, in the tower's top, you will face your last trial... >>> In addition, this zip-file contains IVORY-DM.WAD, the same level modified for deathmatch play.

lupinx-Kassman	Turns out everything Leon makes is a treasure	x
Zahid	start view was awesome overall nice map	x
TimeOfDeath	tight supplies at first, but it got fun	x
Anonymous	In general this is a very average level. It makes the cardinal mistake of having SS troopers in it and although there are 500+ monsters it just feels like a 1995-era level pumped full of baddies. It has a couple of nice design ideas at the start - the opening tunnel is quite spooky, and there's a false perspective trick that gives the impression of a highway going off to a large tower on the horizon. Picks up towards the end but it still feels very old-fashioned and blocky.	x
Anonymous	its ok the tecshering is prity good and dizine was allrite the game play was prity good to allthow thair is still room for improvemint	x

* IMPORTANT HINTS *

-This WAD-file is quite big. Therefore, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO SAVE YOUR
   GAME. I've been told by play testers that this is a difficult level.
   I don't think so, but I may be wrong. There are no traps in this level.
   An experienced player should have no problems. Anyway, here's some
   advice: 
           -don't be ashamed to choose skill level "I'm too young to die"!
           -advance in a carefully considered way!
           -if you play in skill level 2,3 or 4, collect ammo and save
            ammo wherever you can (you know that there are different
            possibilities to save ammo, don't you)!
           -use your automap!
           -curiosity will be rewarded, stupidity will be punished

-play time: about one hour. My best time (ultra-violence, keyboard,
              game statistics 100%) was 37 minutes.
