Other files: * Dozens, but I haven't put them on the 'net yet...
Misc Author Info * Computer artist; watch for "Island Casino" and
: "Vikings" early next year, both by major
: game companies.
Additional Credits * Thanks to the Duckman, The Grey Ghost,
: The Cosmonaut, and the Zuzuzombie for many
: enjoyable Deathmatches...
* Thanks to the fine people who wrote the DETH
: Editor, which was used exclusively to make this
: level (as well as all of my other levels)...
* Thanks to id for finally bringing a game to the
: world that doesn't get boring after 5 minutes...
Description: * Years ago I DM'd an AD&D (TM, etc.) game; the
: Castle Meniscus was one of many castles in the
: world of Cereberus; if response to this level is
: good, there may be sequels based on some others.
* This game was designed primarily as a Single-
: Player game, although it is perfectly capable of
: DEATHMATCH. It may also make a good Cooperative if
: you play on higher skill levels...
* Your goal (aside from survival) is to get 100%
: of the Secrets. All hidden doors are marked, but
: some may be VERY subtle, so look closely...
* If you play this several times you will recognize
: that if you go through certain rooms in a certain
: order, your chances of survival will be much better.
: Beginners may find this one difficult, but I can
: can complete it on Ultra-Violence without dying or
: cheating, so its not too bad.
* This is a BIG level, so you may need some horse-
: power to run it smoothly... my deathmatch mates
: recommend at LEAST a DX2-66 w/ 16+ MB of RAM...
: and a good Video card... I personally would
: recommend at a Pentium; it was built w/ a P-60,
: Stealth 64 2MB VRAM, and 24MB of RAM...
Instructions * Unzip MENISCUS.ZIP into your DOOM@ directory; type
: MENISCUS to play at Skill 3. Modify Batch file as
: desired.
Discalimer: * Use at your own risk. I am not responsible for
: anything. This includes you going crazy and killing
: a bunch of people, and telling the media that you
: did it because you became addicted to this level
: and started to hear voices... there are no
: backwards messages or subliminal suggestions.
: I do not worship Satan, nor am I affiliated with
: Satan in any way.
* This WAD file does not necessarily represent the
: views of my employer nor any of its constituents.
* This is an Equal Opportuniy WAD File; it does not
: discriminate on the basis of Race, Sex, Creed,

: Preference.
Music Favorites: * Godflesh, KMFDM, Alice in Chains, Lords of Acid,

: like Trance, Ambient, and Hardcore Techno.
