Description:	DOOM II conversion of the original OBSESSED for DOOM I. Two levels designed for single player and Deathmatch. As you will soon find out, I love levels that are difficult with lots of the tough guys. In fact, you could say I'm obsessed with the idea. The levels have been made small and compact for non-stop heart-pounding action during deathmatch play (use -nomonsters).
Credits:	The makers of Doom and DEU. Vincenzo Alcamo, maker of DM2CONV.
Base:	Original DOOM I level from scratch
Build time:
Editor(s) used:	DEU v5.21, bit of WinDEU and DCK22
Bugs:	None. Played a million times in single player mode. Coversion created a few minor texture mis-alignments

Reviews:

Anonymous	A highly unorthodox, challenging, and inventive map. Unlike the previous reviewer I took about 10 seconds to find the secret-but-mandatory door, though his having told me it existed was a great help. This was great fun to play, being so unusual in concept. 5/5 - cjwright79	x
Anonymous	Two godawful maps from 1994 or so. Contains just about every 1994-era cliche you can think of: STARTAN3, large empty hallways, secrets you'd never find without IDDT that are necessary to complete the level, etc. What's really pathetic is that the author mentions in the .txt that these levels took a whopping 12 MONTHS to make! 1/5	x

Other Info
==========

Level Description:
        
        MAP1:
                Very compact level, but extremely difficult on
                ultra-violent. There are two secrets, you have 
                to find atleast one in order to get out of the
                first room, but on the harder skill levels 
                finding both is a must. (Hint: Bang!).
                You need to find a switch to get into the centre
                room.

MAP2:
                This level continues on from where you finished
                level 1. It's a big advantage if you can get 
                into the secret room as soon as possible, as it 
                starts a crushing ceiling which indirectly 
                kills half the monsters around you. If you're
                playing on a harder skill level, get ready to 
                do some major strafing once opening the blue-
                key door. I won't tell you what's behind the 
                red-key door! Save regularly!

Recorded Games (LMP's)

** IMPORTANT: only available with the original 
                      OBSESSED.zip for TUD 
        
        Included should be two LMP recording's. OBSESS_1.lmp is 
        for E1M1, and OBSESS_2.lmp is for E1M2. These recordings 
        are of me SHOWING OFF how to complete each level on 
        ultra-violent. They show you everything, so don't play 
        them unless you have already completed the levels, or
        you need proof that it can be done.
        (I even started E1M2 with just a pistol!)

Important: These recordings were created on 
                   The Ultimate Doom v1.9, and they won't work 
                   on anything else.

To play a recording, type:
                DOOM -file OBSESSED.wad -playdemo OBSESS_1
                and likewise for OBSESS_2 (omit .lmp)

Your Word

        and have some suggestions (or you'd like to abuse me),
