Title : City In Chaos
Filename : CIC.WAD

================================================================
Crap Intro : Looking out of the door at the expansive city
outside, you see a strange bloke with spikes
protruding from his body. Funny, you were
sure national bondage day was next week.
Suddenly, an odd bloke obscured by a tree tries
to blast you with his gun. Fortunately, you always
carry a gun pointed directly in front of you, so
you squeeze off a few rounds, and take him out.
You decide to go and see what's going down.
Grabbing your backpack, map, shotgun and shells
you head out the door. Maybe you'll find a double-
barreled shotgun lying about someplace, after all,
this is Doom II. You feel a shell slam into your
back. Ouch. You spin round, and blast the
hell spawn. 40% health. Plenty. You run for cover
followed by a hail of machine gun fire. As you run,
you suddenly realise you've never seen your feet.
Maybe I'll check 'em out some time, you think....
====================================================================
Play notes : By my standards, and probably quite a few peoples
standards, this is a difficult level. On the other
hand, if you're the kind of person who can drink
two bottles of vodka and then complete all the
Doom II levels under par without saving a game
then its probably quite easy.
On my DX2 50, this level slows Doom up quite a bit
at the beginning when there loads of demons trying
to blast you (or each other). So its a good idea to
crank down the screen size until you 've killed
some of the monsters, especially outside. If
you've got a Pentium then you don't need to, so
instead, you can buy me one.

New patches and music integrated into level using DEUTEX 3.5.
Those cool nodes were built using BSP 1.2x
=====================================================================
** Known Bugs **
If you look through some bars in a room overlooking most of the level,
(quite a nice view I might add) and sort of move whilst looking, the
game crashes giving the error : No more visplanes, or visplanes overflow.
I'm afraid I have no idea what visplanes are, where you get them from,
how you get rid of them, or what colour they might be, so I can't do
anything about that. So, save the game before admiring any vistas :-)

** Last words **
Only complimentary e-mails please.
My other wad is Castle Of Death (COD.WAD) also found in the
Action games forum on Compuserve, but it's nothing special so only
download it if you've got nothing better to do.
Well, go and play it then.
