Reviews:

Doomkid	Aside from some horrible lighting choices, this is pretty good with a veriety of textures. It's a bit plain.	x
Anonymous	Well done. Although it seemed a bit too challenging at some places. The fact that you have to neglect killing some of the monsters in order to preserve ammo and health is pretty creative.	x
Anonymous	I'm surpised he didn't call it "Frag-tricide", that would have been hilarious, oh ho ho. The readme file puzzles over the fact that ammo is doubled in the lowest difficulty setting. However the level is quite good, especially for 1995. It has lots of action and a nice mixture of close and medium combat.	x

Misc. Author Info         : This is my first wad that I've fully completed.
                            I designed this wad for single and cooperative
                            play (there's too many damn deathmatch levels 
                            out there).  I've included a little theme to go
                            along with FRATRCIDE.

You've received a letter from your brother 
                            saying that he's murdered your entire family, 
                            including distant relatives.  He's moved to a
                            distant country in Austrailia.  In the letter, he
                            states that he has emptied all of the families' 
                            bank accounts and wishes for you to join him in 
                            his mansion.

What he doesn't tell you is that he has suffered
                            from nuclear radiation at the local nuclear
                            plant where he had previously worked, and has 
                            created his own specimens of atrocity.  He has 
                            scattered your families' remains throughout his
                            horror house.

He has obviously gone mad.  He is your last 
                            family relation but you now realize he must
                            perish as well.  
                            
                            You remember your first mission, Phobos; and 
                            then recall your latest adventure on Earth.  They
                            bring back terrible memories.  You know that he
                            will probably expect you to kill him, but you 
                            just prepare for anything.

So you make your mind up to kill him... commit
                            fratrcide... terminate with extreme prejudice!

*Play Information*

Level                      : Map 01

Single Player              : Yes (made for it)

Cooperative 2-4 Player     : Maybe? (made for it, but when my friend and I
                             went to play it 2-player, it said consistency
                             failure.  So I would really appreciate it if 
                             someone could tell me how to fix this using 
                             Edmap.)

Deathmatch 2-4 Player      : Maybe? (but not designed for it, ditto above)

Difficulty Settings        : Yes (but on I'm to young to die, the ammo is 
                             doubled for some odd reason.)
New Sounds                 : No. Maybe in later editions.
New Graphics               : Ditto.
New Music                  : No.
Demos Replaced             : No.

Authors may use this level as a base to build additional levels as long as 
you credit my name.  Please e-mail me if you decide to do so.

You may distribute this WAD, provided you include this file, with no 
modifications.  You may distribute this file in any electronic format (BBS,
Diskette, CD, etc) as long as you include this file intact.

=============================================================================

Please E-mail me(equist@ibm.net) for feedback since this is my first wad and
I need help fixing the multi-player problem.  When I do fix it, I will re-
upload it.

Enjoy!(single-player for now...)
