Description:	I think the series is developing somewhat of a plot. I utilized the DEHACKED lump that MBF allows even more now. Here's how it is: The teleporter you jumped into at the end of Artica 2 was made by the inhabitants of this strange planet. Sadly, they never perfected the technology, and the portholes are unstable. Not only did it strip you of your ammo and weapons, but also most of your health. Of course, it's not like they didn't know that was going to happen.

Base:	Level from scratch
Build time:	Erm, a week I think...

Getsu Fune	not very interesting	x
Zahid	Atmospheric map with some clever progression style	x

Anonymous	a little hard..but I cleared!	x
Anonymous	This is dated January 1999. I haven't played the other levels in the series. It's a pretty unimpressive map, with a few early source port features (water, ice, that kind of thing). You start off with no weapons, but nothing is really done with this idea; perhaps if the player had been given a berzerk pack it would have been clever. Overall it's dull and undetailed, with lackluster fights against mid-sized baddies. Weak ending.	x
Anonymous	prity tricky to figure out how to beat the level but thair are good batles	x

* Play Information *

Game                    : MBF and Doom 2, haven't tested it with Boom, but it 
			  probably will 'work'.  MBF is about 90% better and more 
			  stable then Boom anyway
Level #                 : map01
Single Player           : Yes
Cooperative 2-4 Player  : No
Deathmatch 2-4 Player   : No
Difficulty Settings     : Yes

Note                    : A few helpers in this map.  I won't give away who they are 
			  though.  The first one really dosen't doo too much(takes out 
			  a few bad dudes, but then he can't follow you)but the next bunch 
			  will definetly be useful to you.

New Sounds              : None

New Graphics            : Sky, snow, ice, SCUBA gear sprite, and some other graphics 
			  I made(mods of Doom textures)
			  
New Music               : Nope, maybe next time.

Demos Replaced          : Feel free to send demos.

Dehacked Patch          : Yes, as a lump in the wad(there's a reason to use MBF and not Boom)

* Construction *

Base                    : Level from scratch

Editor(s) used          : WadEd, WadAuthor, Warm, BSP, RMB, CLED, PSP, NWT and WinTex...whew.

Build time              : Erm, a week I think...
			  
Known Bugs              : Should be good to go

Misc.                   : I built reject with RMB again(you 486ers will appreciate that)also 
			  I had to use BSP for the nodes because WARM doesn't seen to 
			  make a HOM-free transparent door(dang).  WinTex because I'm trying 
			  to learn it and NWT crashes Win98 all the time.  Plus it's easier to 
			  make new textures with WinTex.
