Description:	A really cool castle wad. NEVER2 is fun, and challenging in UV, but not too hard. There are some tough secrets to find, and there are tons of baddies. Death matchers should have a blast as well as singles. So what's the description? Get the wad and check it out! Compared to other 'non-linear' levels, this one is really non-linear. It's also pretty well inter-connected for DM after all the secrets are found. It features the Death Room, a cool outside area where you can jump all over the place, a multi-leveled maze type thing, and the dreaded caco-lair! No stupid switch puzzels or death traps. A straight forward ass kick'n pwad. It is basically the same as never.wad for doom1, except I added the doom][ stuff (combat shot gun & monsters) and changed 2 textures.

This is dated March 1995. It's the Doom II version of id=1111, and it's much the same; you fight 447 baddies in a large, wandery, empty, undetailed castle. It's initially frustrating, with a lot of hitscan monsters and not much health. The map is superficially entertaining because you get to slaughter 447 mostly weak monsters (there's a decent boss battle, superfluous and hidden away), but it feels like a hollow shell of a level.

Known Glitches          : minor texture misalignments in maze like area

* NOTES *

There are some teleporters to help get around quicker, (the magician
uses these to impress folks). There are a couple of beserks hidden, so
find em and go fist crazy! There is also a comp map. I intentionally
did a 'no no':  There are quite a few big bad monsters in the death room.
They can all be killed in HMP pretty easily and UV if your smart (but save
often).  The mote has teleporters on the ends (in case you fall in on 
the right side, there is an exit on the left). Lastly, the yellow skull 
key is there!  You don't need it or the blue of teh yellow to finish, 
but they can make things interesting. At the end of this doc is a hint 
for finding the yellow key.
