Reviews:

Meril	Bland, mostly shotgun guys and demons. Whats more this map is E1M1, not E2.	x
Memfis	Hmm, not really good. Lots of stupid monster spam, so much in fact that some of them are stuck even. Cramped, linear and boring looking too.	x
Anonymous	Lots of sargeants, very little health, very bland architecture. 2/5	x

MOONBAS2.WAD - Moon Base (version 2)
- a single-player level for Doom or Ultimate Doom (replaces E1M1).

Original author:   Orin Flaharty             flaharty@ix.netcom.com
Version 2 Update:  Sparky of KISS Software   kelm@eisa.net.au

Mods made by Sparky of KISS Software:
- the original version contained a self-extracting .exe archive
  within another self-extracting .exe archive (moonbase.exe)!!!
  This version is in standard wad format - just copy the wad to
  your Doom directory and run it with:  doom -file moonbas2.wad
- combined the four wads (level, music, sky texture, and step texture)
  into a single wad file - moonbas2.wad
- moved the map and music to E1M1 (the original version was E2M1).
  This meant that I could also delete the sky texture (sky2), because
  it was just the original episode 1 sky anyway.
- cleaned the wad of any wasted space.
- the original version was 100KB (.exe archive), and this version is
  only 58KB (regular .zip archive).
- appended the story (moonbase.sty) to the end of this document;
  so this version contains only 2 files - moonbas2.wad and moonbas2.txt

I would prefer that you didn't use this wad to make new levels, 
but if you decide to, give me some credit, eh.

You MAY distribute this WAD, provided you include this file, with
no modifications.  You may distribute this file in any electronic
format (BBS, Diskette, CD, etc) as long as you include this file 
intact.

I had to split up the wads because when I grouped them together, it created 
lots of glitches, so I wrote a batch file to make loading it easier.

Moonbase 1 (Prototype artifical planet in orbit around
Saturn). April 5th, 2153, 20:34 Message#234:Everybod......going craz..

[END TRANSMISSION]
    
     Due to current conflict on Earth, the military can only spare a small  
squad of soldiers. Due the Construction design of the base, the military also     
feels that a small group will be more effective.

MISSION OBJECTIVES:
     STEP 1: Secure Perimeter
     STEP 2: Evaluate Enemy Resistance
     STEP 3: Destroy Enemy Resistance if posible. If not, send for   
     renforcements.

Just one problem, Your drop-ship is attacked by the planets ODP
(Outer Defence Perimeter) on the way in. Four of you manage to parachute
out before the ship is destroyed. Unfortunatly it may have been easier 
to stay on the ship and die painlessly. All you have is a semi-automatic
pistol and no way off the planet. The best you can hope for is to find the 
rest of the survivors and contact Earth.

(Note: This is only the first in a series of wads I am working on. Look for 
Moonbas2.wad sometime around April.)
