Rotten level. Contains a mixture of simplistic corridors, unmarked secret doors - lots of them, and you can't finish the level without them - and dark bits. The only challenging section warps you in front of a cyberdemon; you have to dodge left and right into some alcoves to avoid its rockets, and get an arch-vile to knock off some of its health. No fun to play; not good to look at; not funny; too tight around the crotch; no manual exposure mode.

You MAY distribute this WAD, provided you include this file, with
no modifications.  You may distribute this file in any electronic

* Hints for this wad:

To run this new level, copy the WAD file to your DOOM2 directory and type:

DOOM2 -FILE HBLAST.WAD -SKILL x -WARP 1

Where x is the skill level you wish to play (1-5).

Any comments or feedback would be greatly appreciated.  They inspire me
to start new WADs.

One major hint here: There are two ways to get to the ampetheater.
Both ways are hidden. On one of the routes you'll find a blue key and
on the other, not.  You will most definately need that Key!!! Without it
you will probably not survive the ampetheater without cheating! (especially
on 'hurt me plenty' and above)  Play is extremely tough in 'ultra violence'
mode...but you won't see the BFG9000 unless you play it! 
If you really need help finishing this wad (without cheating), 
email me at deckert@ptialaska.net
