Anonymous	Stairway to Heaven! lol	x
Anonymous	liked, didn't run out of ammo, but the two optional side stairs at the end are too small and you can't get back down so you have to idclip	x
Anonymous	This is dated June 1996. You fight 188 baddies in a minimalistic stone level that floats in the sky (several years before "Null Space", although the levels are very different otherwise). It's not bad - you work your way up a mountain / slime techbase fighting monsters along the way. The problem is that there's so little ammo that you have to be very precise all the time, which drains the fun, and there are lots of bugs near the end, too.	x
Anonymous	neat seat up but not enouf ammo 1/5	x

Feel free to copy this WAD and give it to your friends.  I only
ask that if you use this level as a base, you give me due credit-
-I'd also like to see what you come up with, so if you don't
mind, send your modified level to me at jonhall@midusa.net
(UUencode or MIME is OK).

* Description *

When I started making this level, I had Deathmatch in mind, but
as I went on, I ended up making it more of a single-player type
level.  Oh well, it should still be cool for Deathmatch.  I have
put a few "special effects" in this level as well.  When you
start the game (in single-player mode), you'll see a pool, or
pond in front of you.  If you walk into it, you sink down as
though you are walking along the bottom of the pool.  Also, at
the end of the level, there is an "invisible lift," giving the
appearance that you walk on air.

* Story *

After ridding Earth from the evil domination of Hell (in DOOM and
the original DOOM ][ levels), you decided to spend the rest of
your life as a Catholic Monk in Germany.  After many years of
happy, peaceful solitude, you have passed away peacefully in your
sleep.  There's only one problem--ever since being defeated on
Earth, Hell has been tightening its grip on Purgatory.  Now,
before you can go to Heaven to spend eternity with your Creator,
you must cleanse Purgatory of Hell's agents--before they can kill
you and send you to an eternity in Hell!

* Miscellaneous Information *

This is my first real WAD file, and I think I'm pretty pleased
with it.  I hope you enjoy it.

I'm sure there are some bugs in this level, and I will be fixing
them as I become aware of them.  If you find a bug, please write
to me at jonhall@midusa.net to report it.  Afterall, this is the
Beta version!

Also, there are several secrets in this level--some of which are
fairly difficult to find, while others are fairly easy.  If you
are stumped, and want to know how to get into all the secrets,
write to me, and I'll send you the instructions (this might be
particularly helpful to get an edge on someone else during a
Deathmatch game!).

Thank you!
