Author:	Claus Nielsen
Description:	Well, it's actually not that hard to get to the exit, but can you do it with 3 x 100% - without cheating?!
Credits:	Peter Bendixen and Peter Madsen; always more than willing to test my levels - (that was a joke)... Also many thanks to the makers of DEU and IDBSP, whom without this wouldn't exist. Oh, and of course Id Software - but that goes without saying.
Base:	Totally new level.
Build time:	Let me see; 6 days... and 6 nights!
Editor(s) used:	DEU521GCC, WAD_DWD and IDBSP10 - Great tools!
Bugs:	None that I'm aware of... Okay, okay - there are some nasty HOM effects at the end, (try standing on the bridge and look back - on the other hand, don't try it); but I can live with it, and if you can't, well, that's just to bad...

Anonymous	Solid map for the day, bit dated now. Small 3*	x
Anonymous	2 votes, in total 0??? Nofi, but you voters definitely should start trying to understand history. Because this is made in Sep 1994, those MS-DOS times with horribly slow 486/33 PCs with 320x200 graphics, but without stuff author could only dream about, like modern lightning-fast hardware, DB2 and 2015 style guides. Having said that, author did a very good job in creating an adventure which offered a lot 1994 players desperately wanted. Rated as 1994 map: solid 4, because playing it gave a lot of fun.	x
Anonymous	Waste of time.	x
Anonymous	This is one of those levels that's based around a large central lift that has passageways branching off. The passageways lead to mazes. This author had a thing for mazes. Some of the corridors are curvy, but they are mazes nonetheless. Single-file corridor mazes pitting you against one monster at a time. Bare textures, no detail. You sir are no Jack Kennedy.	x

                  you do it with 3 x 100% - without cheating?!

Thanks to       : Peter Bendixen and Peter Madsen; always more than willing to
                  test my levels - (that was a joke)... Also many thanks to the
                  makers of DEU and IDBSP, whom without this wouldn't exist.

LMP file        : CN02_12.LMP and CN02_16.LMP
Recording time  : 14min 21sec and 14min 25sec

LMP Description : A walk-through of this level, showing you how to get all the
                  good stuff... Both LMP's are recorded using the option
                  "-nomonsters", and should also be played with this option...
                  (I don't want you to know the locations of all the monsters
                  too). Because a LMP recorded on Doom 1.2 wont work with
                  Doom 1.666 and vice versa, I've included a LMP file that will
                  only work with Doom 1.2 and one for Doom 1.666. Feel free to
                  mail LMP's recorded with the option "-maxdemo xxxx", that
                  shows how you're dealing with the monsters...

The "hintbook"  : May only be read if you're stuck, (or just want to "cheat").

1. Hey, didn't you read the sentence just before?! Reading
                     this may spoil all the fun! Don't say i didn't warn you...
                  2. The blue key is in the blue room.
                  3. The yellow key is behind the big "blue" door.
                  4. ...and the red key is somewhere in the labyrinth with the
                     grey vine walls.
                  5. In the marble/metal-room there's a secret room, with a
                     switch uncovering the rocket launcher, and a there's also
                     a lift leading to the labyrinth mentioned above.
                  6. The labyrinth can also lead you to the chainsaw.
                  7. A soul sphere can be reached from the chainsaw-room.
                  8. The entrance to the red door is hidden on the southeast
                     lift, seen from the big "doughnut lift". Or you could use
                     one of the teleports found in the green vine/acid room.
                  9. Behind one of the skulls near the yellow key, there's a
                     secret room hiding a mega armor.
                 10. The switch in the "star room" (with the mega armor), will
                     open a door to the soul sphere, and you'll have to use the
                     teleport mentioned above to get there.
                 11. The barrels are standing on a lift, so don't be afraid to
                     jump down there. You'll find some ammo.
                 12. An area map can be reached from the "exit" on the right.
                 13. That's it. I don't think there's anything else that could
                     give you a headache?.. Otherwise give the LMP a look.
