Description:	After radio calls to Substation Alpha have garnered no response for four days, UAC send you in to find out what happened to the marines and staff. Little did they know that this research and development station would have become so infested so quickly. Grabbing your trusty pistol (though secretly despising it's wimpy discharge sound), you descend the lift...
Credits:	Everyone who wrote me about 3x-play, saying "do another!" Adam Windsor, beta-tester extraordinaire, and the person who I grabbed the "blind them with lots of items" idea from. HURRAH! :) Blain Newport and Sam Taylor, for additional beta-testing and commentary. Brian Vannatta, for giving me and my friends the best deathmatch levels I've ever played, and for the corner TV screens idea from DANZIG2 (level 20). Obligatory nod to the geniuses at id.
Base:	Thought it all up myself, thankyouverymuch.
Build time:	Man, you don't wanna know.
Editor(s) used:	Waded 1.83b, Waded 1.49, BSP 1.2x, RMB21A
Bugs:	Might be a bit tough, but it's DOOM, after all.

Anonymous	I pretty good wad to play. Has a few HOMs.	x
Anonymous	Gotta find that BFG or it could be pretty difficult on UV. Still a great play... pretty good for an old level. Detailing is as said... classic. 4/5	x
Anonymous	nice for a 1995 wad	x
Anonymous	This is great fun. It's also fiendishly tricky on UV. I would give this five stars if it was new; the textures and detailing are simple in the classic style. For a 1995 level this is exceptional.	x

Base                    : Thought it all up myself, thankyouverymuch.

* Copyright / Permissions *

Authors may NOT use this level as a base to build additional
levels.  Think up your own; it's not that hard.  Sheesh.  
(If _I_ can do it...)

You MAY distribute this WAD, provided you include this file with
no modifications.   You may upload this file anywhere to anybody. 
However, the (c) stays with the author -- namely, me.  If this
level is included on any compilation that is not distributed free
(i.e., if you're charging for it), you'll need my permission to do
so, as well as sending me a copy of whatever this work appears on.
If you want to make money off my work, it's only fair that I do, too.

* Where to get this WAD *

FTP sites:  ftp.cdrom.com and it's mirrors.

Other:  My second effort, folks.  Lemme know if you like this one,
        too.  I mean, if it sucks, tell me quick before I inflict
        another one on the world, y'know...?  Oh, and a quick note:
        this one doesn't have "monster randomization" like 3x-play,
        but it does have a few (nasty) twists depending which skill
        level you play.  All of the skill levels are fun to play,
        and the UV one promises a slaughterhouse.  I make levels for
        the maximum amount of enjoyment for the player, so play this
        one at all difficulties (even though Not Too Rough does seem
        kinda wimpy, it's still a good warm-up).  Enjoy!
