Numerous wads for Doom, Doom2 and Heretic.
Misc. Author Info : When I figure it out I'll let you know...
Description : Don't you hate it when you always win?
Don't you hate it even more when you always
lose? When it comes to the truly important
things in life (such as Doom) some of us are
better than others. This wad tries to even
the balance with a handicap for the less
experienced player(s).
If you play at skill levels 1 or 2, you must
choose your weapon before entering the main
play area. You will not find additional weapons
later. The weaker player should choose a more
powerful weapon than the stronger player.
Experiment with weapons to find the best
balance between the players.
Skill level 3 plays normally. Skill levels
4/5 add monsters.
You should be using the -altdeath switch so
that weapons and bonuses will respawn.
