RECANT v1.1 for HERETIC v1.0 - Doomworld /idgames database frontend

Title:	RECANT v1.1 for HERETIC v1.0
Filename:	levels/heretic/p-r/recant11.zip
Size:	79.48 KB
Date:	05/03/95
Author:	Dr. Sleep
Description:	RECANT is a fairly large level and is geared more toward single play, although deathmatch and co-op are of course supported. The water room took me forever to put together, and the tower in the lava pit gave me nightmares with the texture alignment (all done manually, folks). This was supposed to be a much bigger level, actually (and may be someday), but I'm worn thin and threadbare. Still, there are no loose ends here (I hope) -- and big levels, in general, don't impress me. They're a dime a dozen these days. I love to get e-mail, so send me any comments you like about RECANT (as long as they're in good taste and full of obsequious high praise).

Reviews:

printz	Yay, first Heretic PWAD level that's well detailed and even has mapping tricks (something already seen in other Dr Sleep's maps). The level is also highly non-linear and with optional areas, but overall it's worth playing	x
Anonymous	Better than average, but I wouldn't say it's epic. Nicely detailed and not contra-level difficulty. I don't like how keys were hidden. That's always a big no bueno for me. However, they weren't hidden in completely ridiculous places and it only took me about 10 minutes to finish the map. A great effort for 1995.	x

Instructions		: Put RECANT11.WAD in your HERETIC directory, type
			  "heretic -file recant.wad -warp 1 1 -skill <#>"
			  (Or, to play advanced, skill 4, also put the file
			  RECANT.BAT in your DOOM directory and type
			  RECANT.)

Modem Play		: Batch files for DIALing and ANSWERing are included
			  for your convenience, but you'll need to edit them
			  as far as phone numbers and com ports go.  Put
			  these in your HERETIC directory as well, and then
			  just type either "dial" or "answer."

Disclaimer		: I assume no responsibility for anything of any sort
			  in any way, shape, or form--now, then, henceforeward
			  in this life (or the next several) for any screw-ups
			  or even minor inconveniences this PWAD causes you,
			  your family, your relatives, friends, ancestors,
			  associates, employers, pets, neighbors, lovers,
			  congressional representatives, nor any other person--
			  living, dead, or undead -- that you have or will ever
			  have any contact with in even the slightest form.
			  This PWAD has been tested and tested ad infinitum, so
			  it shouldn't mess with your computer or anything else
			  remotely associated with it.  But if it DOES, then
			  that's the way the cookie crumbles. Don't come cryin'
			  to me.  It must be something YOU did.  If you don't
			  like it, lump it. (I ran out of clich�s.)
