Description:	:My first real WAD for DOOM ][. I wanted a level (MAP02) to just go around and hunt things. That's why there is such an obvious ending in MAP02. There are 2 or more possible exits on MAP02 & MAP04. OK. You want a story. Let's see what I can think of. OK. You're taking over a UAC base. That's a good start. They send you to a secret military base and let you load up on guns. Then you open up the teleport and jump in to the first UAC area. After you shut it down by pressing the obvious exit, the secret exit button, or kill the leader you are sent off to the next area. In the next area you take over another base where there is big security and have to get all of the keys. To finish you have to get into the escape pod and hitting the detach button. The next area you land on an old UAC area that was supposedly abandon. Well you find out differently. The old castle isn't abandon. You decided to earn a bonus and take that base over. At the end of the level there is a space ship. I could have done a better job at making it but that's all I did. Make sure to visit the fighting rings and make the Cyberdemon and the Spiderdemon fight to the death. If that isn't good enough tough shit.

Five maps dated August 1996. The readme is enthusiastic but the maps are rubbish. I finished Map01 and 02 in less than a second just by turning around and pressing the walls. There's an awful novelty sound replacement. Map03 is typical 1995 nonsense, with loads of stuck monsters in a square maze, and Map04 is much the same. The secret is Map35, for some reason; it's a spawn shooter arena, a bit like E1M9 meets E3M8 meets Map30. And it's rubbish.

Misc. Author Info               :My friend calls me Qaulls because my first
                                name is Tim and Tim rhymes with Bim and there
                                is a basketball player named Calls who's nick-
                                name is Bimbo.  I just spell it in that unique
                                way.  Notice the QA instead of QU.

Description:                    :My first real WAD for DOOM ][.  I wanted a
                                level (MAP02) to just go around and hunt
                                things. That's why there is such an obvious
                                ending in MAP02.  There are 2 or more possible
                                exits on MAP02 & MAP04.

OK.  You want a story.  Let's see what I can
                                think of.  OK.  You're taking over a UAC base.
                                That's a good start.  They send you to a
                                secret military base and let you load up on
                                guns.  Then you open up the teleport and jump
                                in to the first UAC area.  After you shut it
                                down by pressing the obvious exit, the secret
                                exit button, or kill the leader you are sent
                                off to the next area.

In the next area you take over another base
                                where there is big security and have to get
                                all of the keys.  To finish you have to get
                                into the escape pod and hitting the detach
                                button.

The next area you land on an old UAC area that
                                was supposedly abandon.  Well you find out
                                differently.  The old castle isn't abandon.
                                You decided to earn a bonus and take that base
                                over.  At the end of the level there is a
                                space ship.  I could have done a better job at
                                making it but that's all I did.

Make sure to visit the fighting rings and make
                                the Cyberdemon and the Spiderdemon fight to
                                the death.  If that isn't good enough tough
                                shit.

                                will still be there. This is the skill for

Demos Replaced (v1.9)           :All; Demo one is the hidden level to just
                                kick off the game.  I was going to make a full
                                demo of MAP03 but I had to record a new demo
                                every time I made a little change to the WAD
                                and I just got too lazy and frustrated.
                                Usually you can kill the Spider-Demon without
                                a problem.

Author's may use this WAD as a base to build additional levels.

You may do whatever you want with this file. :-)

* Where To Find This WAD *

If your reading this your probably in the right place. :-)

If it's not there then go to ftp://ftp.cdrom.com.  I know it is there.  Later
I will try to set up my own web page. =:0

This PWAD may seen very hard and stupid at first but NEVER give up.  Unless
there is a big hurricane or tornado coming in.  Then you run like the dickens.
If you ever get stuck in level 2 or 3 just watch the demo.  Demo two is just
the beginning of the level and gives a tip on how to kill the Cyber-demon with
out much trouble.  The biggest part of this PWAD is finding out the tricks and
the secrets. Most people I know get stuck right at the beginning of the second
level.  That's my fault for making the door texture almost identical to the 
wall texture.  I put the solution in the demo, though.  I always hated PWADs 
that were just too complicated to solve without a demo.

Play cooperative with your friends.  Deathmatch isn't really what it is all
hyped up about.  It's more fun kicking hundreds of demonic ass then just one
opponent.  Besides, if your a good player and the other player is horrible,
you'll be bored to tears.  My levels were originally made for deathmatch but
when I got my modem I finally realized "This Sucks".

Okay I'm bored so that's why I wrote this letter.  You can't say I did it only
because I'm bored, because I sort of had fun writing this.  Sort of.
