Description             : Highly addictive Doom I or The Ultimate Doom,
                          DeathMatch level

Good mix of open spaces, hallways, teleporters
                          and lifts. Lots of invisible walls, and traps.
                          There are lights in the corners of the court
                          yard, that tell you in what general part of
                          the building to look for your enemy!
                          
                          Single-barrel shotgun close to all starting
                          points; access to better weapons are at a
                          higher-risk, depending on where your enemy
                          is.....  Watch your back!

The BFG and Plasma gun are harder to
                          get, with considerable risk involved.

On skill level (1-2), which only has
                          shotguns, chainsaws and the chaingun,
                          .....the chaingun is difficult to get.

The backpack is available on all skill
                          levels.

Note 2                  : This is a large wad; but it runs very
                          fast! Also note that, all weapon hits
                          show on all the walls! (Including the
                          pistol !!!) You might want to study how
                          I did this!; It is also the secret to
                          fast playing wads! (This wad plays as
                          fast as most wads one-fourth its size!)

This is my challange to everyone on the Internet
and anyone else who reads this text file.-----

In order to promote better wad files,-

(ever downloaded one that just don't work at all, or runs
so slow it's like playing in peanut butter, or it has so
many missaligned textures, or worst yet, the same texture
through-out the wad,.... that it makes you want to puke!)

I offer the following:

(Not a new idea; I've heard of others doing the same.)

1. Use this wad as a base to build your own wad, (I
   encourage you to to so; Don't even ask me!; just
   change it, - anyway you want. Distribute it any-
   where and everywhere, and in any format you want,
   for profit or for free!. And also, I challange all
   other wad authors to do the same!, (after all,
   the majority of us don,t get paid for making wads
   anyway!; so not letting anyone use your wad as a
   base, is really just an ego trip;---Isn't it? !!!).
   ...............Too Bad--So Sad!!..................
   At least beginners would have a good place to start;
   then mabe we won't have to wade through as many bad
   wads, to find the good ones! This concept should
   eventually make all the wads offered, on the Net,
   better.

2. After you have completed your new wad, (using mine
   as a base), put your name on it, take full credit
   for it! -You don't need to mention my name anywhere,
   (but I would be happy if you did so, in your text
   file; but it's not manditory!) Just remember, your
   new wad will have your name on it, so just make sure
   its better than mine!, or else what's the point!!!!!

3. If you want different weapons placement or different
   monsters, in different places, I would encourage you
   to download ED209, (probably the easiest wad editor
   to use, to change, weapons, monsters and textures).
   (You can do most of the weapons and monster changes
   in less than 5 minutes!). - If you noticed, I also
   used a program called Zennode. Zennode is not needed
   to build or change wads, it just helps to speed up
   the wad a little. --- All of these fine programs are
   available, as Shareware, many places on the Net.

4. If your wad has any bugs, even just a small one,
   that's hard to find, even if your looking for a
   mistake, then, don't put it on the Net!. Fix it
   first, or get some help to fix it, or delete it!!!.
   People can forgive you for making boring wads once
   in a while, but not defective, ugly, trash. (I go
   over my wads in great detail before releasing them;
   we also play test em for weeks, sometimes months,
   working on the layout, weapons and monsters, ect.
   
   I would be totally ashamed of some of the garbage
   that's on the Net, if my name was attached to it.
   
   You have to be a perfectionist, to produce even
   a boring wad that works good, without bugs; even
   a bad wad takes a little time and effort to make,
   so why go to all the time and trouble...........
   to produce garbage!!!!
