Description:	You've teleported into the rear of yet another demonic stonghold. Intelligence reports there is a large hall within where many comrads have vanished. The final phrase of your orders bothered you. It said simply "Lots-a-luck!" Yes... this is a large WAD but it saves fine. Just don't add any more "things" to it. (or sectors) Well... you can if you want but it won't save then. I really hope you enjoy it! (Comments welcome)

Lightning Hunter	This map has some very creative parts. In particular, there is a trap in which monsters are raised and lowered to a level in which they can shoot you, but you only have a second to shoot them. It is easy to get lost a few times in this map, however - and there is a place you can get stuck if you take the wrong order. Overall, a very creative map from '94.	x
Anonymous	This is dated August 1994. You fight 222 monsters in an unusually large level for the period. Super deform bee slice. It's a kind of hellish library based around a single very long hallway with side rooms, including a well-done computer slime centre; for mid-1994 the design is very good, intricate and coherent. The gameplay is solid and feels substantial, not hard, suffers a bit from a dearth of ammo at the start. The manifestations are also God's creation.	x
Anonymous	It's original in layout and challenge, and all textures are well aligned. Very untypical for such an early wad. Your way is not always easy to find, but overall it's achievable if you look carefully and use the automap from time to time. Good work! 4/5 -Milian	x
Anonymous	Kind of good, but just a bit too hard to determine where you're meant to go next. Not McColm's best work.	x
Anonymous	Not bad, but it took awhile to find the switch that opens the door to get the red key. The switch is in the hallway by the health bonus.	x

* Play Information *

Episode and Level #     : E1M1 
Single Player           : Yes
Cooperative 2-4 Player  : Yes  (great fun... at least I liked it)
Deathmatch 2-4 Player   : Yes  (not tested)
Difficulty Settings     : Not implemented 
New Sounds              : No
New Graphics            : No
New Music               : Yes. The music is best if you have a wave table add 
                          on for your sound card. (Duh! Of course it is.<g>) 
                          Although it's quite decent without it. (I realize 
                          personal taste weighs heavy here.) You can revert 
                          to Doom's music by using Doom Music Editor 
                          (available in the Action Games Library in the 
                          Gamers Forum on Cserve as dmmusic.zip)
                          or by using DEU.(Available same place as DEU.zip)
                          
                          To change music by using DEU, throw the WAD into 
                          the editor and make any change (preferably delete 
                          a "thing" then add it back in. This way you won't 
                          have to rebuild the nodes.) Save and quit. This 
                          will put back the original music. Careful not to 
                          add anythig or the WAD won't save when you play.
Demos Replaced          : None

To load: Type "doom -file hall.wad" from the Doom directory without the 
             quotes. Choose the first episode (Kneedeep In The Dead) and your 
             all set. You must copy hall.wad into the doom derectory.
