Title : Fireball Frenzy
Filename : Fireball.WAD
Author : Peter Weatherby
Email Address : None@none.com (I don't have one)
Misc. Author Info : Author of:
Pitohell.wad for Doom (Hard to find)
Phobos06.wad for Doom2 (ftp.cdrom.com)
Doome1m1.wad for Doom2 (ftp.cdrom.com)
Doome1m2.wad for Doom2 (Coming Soon...)
Description : You against 96 Imps, 12 Cacodemons, and 4
CyberDemons. All in one huge T shaped arena!
Don't worry all the enemies except the
Cacodemons are basically behind bars, so they
can't roam around the arena. The only way I
can describe the level is, it's almost like
dodgeball, but these balls are on fireball and
there are about 100-200 (these numbers are just
estimates) of them heading in your
direction all at once!! :)
This is not my best wad, this started as an
expirement to see how many projectiles I could
have on the screen without the game crashing.
And after playing it a little, I found it to
be kinda fun. So I decided to do a little work
on it to make it decent enough to upload onto
the internet. And this is the finished product
of that expirement, "Fireball Frenzy."
Additional Credits to : Id Software for Doom of course... Williston

Misc. WAD Info : This WAD was designed to run on the Win95
version of Doom2, sometimes called Doom95.
This Wad has a lot of enemies that display
on the screen at one time, and sometimes
freezes on the DOS version especially if you
have less than 12megs of RAM.
Note: Even on the Win95 version if you have
only 8 megs of RAM you can run into some
problems, like disappearing enemies, fireballs,
and items. (Sometime this even happens to me,
when there are tons of fireballs flying
around, but I have 24 megs of RAM.)

You may do whatever you want with this file!! :)
But if you use my graphics, give me credit. I worked hard to draw the
Rope Fence Texture, that was the first freehand graphic I have ever
done well enough to use in a WAD.
Note: The grass textures came from the floor tiles of doom2.wad
