Description:	A dark, medium-sized, asymmetrical WAD. Nothing fancy, but has variety and allows strategy, so it's very playable. NOTE: difficulty settings 1-2 are specially furnished (bonuses, weapons, monsters) for altdeathmatch with monster respawn ON. - HMP and UV are designed primarily for single player games. How many times can you play the same WAD before getting bored...?

Bob Dylan did a song called "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right". (Bob Dylan was a musician from before you were born.) I think he had a point. This is a very simple level whereby you explore a maze and, as you do so, other bits of the maze open up. It would be awful in Deathmatch because it is mostly a maze, except for an open bit that is dark and has some trees (and another bit that is dark and an arena).

	    monster respawn ON.

How many times can you play the same WAD before getting bored...?

- Since everybody ends up playing at UV all the time anyway, I
made HMP and UV like two UV levels, with different monsters and
key locations. UV is harder, but HMP is fun too.

- There is no forced sequence of keys and rooms: in HMP you don't 
need to visit all the main rooms in UV you don't *need* all the 
keys. The order in which you visit rooms, trigger switches, and 
start teleporting monsters can dramatically affect game play.

- There IS enough ammo to kill everything, but not enough to waste.
Unless you're a DOOM GOD, in UV you'll have to find better ways
to deal with the bad guys than a face to face shoot out. There are several.

- There are ways to *lock* some of the rooms from the outside,
which allows some wicked strategies in deathmatch, and can come in
handy when...

- All DM starting points have a supershotgun nearby, so there's no
`pistol vs rocket launcher' stuff after a frag. But you have to *earn*
the long-range weapons and power-ups.

- The map is bigger than the typical Danzig-sized DM WAD. Don't worry:
with monster RESPAWN you can always hear where the other player is, 
and you can always get there FAST. No monsters needed in 3-4 player DM.

- BRIGHTNESS: should be dim. In the first courtyard, set gamma-correct
(F11) so you can't quite see all the way across. Play in a dark room.

- Comments, suggestions and advice are more than welcome.

- Best times: HMP = 4:27 (47%,16%,12%); UV = 9:36 (60%,34%,37%)
      
- The computer map is a WANG ;)
