Description:	In the room with 'star', there is a guy looking exactely the same as you. I know that you're unique, but that's not a reason for shooting him down! If you want to, try to kill him; you will not survive to his death... This guy is a genetical copy of yourself which is locked up in a building so that the owners have full-control over you. The problem is that some people decided that you weren't of any utility to the society. That's the reason why they let the job of killing the copy to plenty of ugly and starving monsters. In fact they have two ways of successing in their glorious mission: killing the copy or, even better, the original. You do not have the choice: you will have to protect him from yourself and from the monsters. If he looses 100 of health, even if you still have 30 percent of your health, you'll die. But you'll have to be very careful because places that were cleaned up could suddenly become full of killers again. þ Huge level and therefore very slow even on 486 66MHZ computers. þ 'Living' level (what a paradox...) because of a lot of sectors tags (approximately 40) þ No BFG9000

Anonymous	Rated as 1995 level: not bad layout, with two scenes strongly based on map24. Ambiance is ok but not special. The voodoo doll trick was quite fun at those times. Gameplay varies enough, and the player meets @ UV a lot of offenders. Nowadays outdated, but overall it gave in 1995 players enough fun for earning 4*.	x
Anonymous	This is an excellent level for mid-1995, and it's still good fun nowadays. The design is simple and there are plenty of monsters. The gimmick - a voodoo doll - is basically pointless, though, and the level is clumsy at times (you miss a lot of the monsters unless you go through the level twice). The new sounds are decent although they get on my nerves after a while.	x

ï¿½ Once more I am sorry to tell you that this level is huge and therefore
  very slow. It's the biggest map I ever made. I really wanted to make a
  small 100 kilobytes level but I suddenly reached the memory limit of
  DEU2 5.21... I had to finish it with DEEP 6.11 (which is really not
  good. It's only advantage is to be able to handle very big maps (up to
  300 kilobytes)). If you want to play this level on Ultra-Violence,
  forget it if you do not have a fast Pentium or a P6...

ï¿½ I'm not very proud of this level. It is really too big, there is no real
  theme and it doesn't look very good. There is not this wellknown magic
  while dooming which can be found while playing ID's levels.

ï¿½ I included a demo of myself finishing the level on Ultra-Violence with
  100% secret and kills. It was recorded with DooM2.exe v1.7 so it might
  not work if you do not have the same version.

ï¿½ The music for level1 was made by EMF. It is a new version of the
  titlemusic of the great game Frontier/Elite2.

ï¿½ If you do not know how to play this level, just type the following
  command line after you put TWINS.WAD in your DooM2 directory:
  DooM2 -file TWINS.WAD
