Description:	This level is meant for deathmatch, although it's fun to play by yourself. It features an enormously tall elevator which takes you through the level, made up entirely of terraces and ledges. It has a simplistic design, and although its not one of my best WADs, it's been given high praise by those who've tried it. It's perhaps the only level which covers more vertical ground than horizonatal, giving it some distinction.

Base:	New level from scratch.
Build time:	Around 5 hours
Editor(s) used:	Waded V1.83
Bugs:	None known

Reviews:

StupidBunny	Decent concept, pretty poorly realized. The lift moves fast enough that it serves less as a centerpiece for the gameplay like one would expect, and more like a really tedious way to get back up to the top ledges. Because of this, the progression of easy-to-hard monsters as you go higher up becomes reversed since the player will actually have to start fighting from the top down. Not a lot of room and monotonous texturing. Guess who the 5-star rating above is from btw	x
Anonymous	Neat concept, quite inventive. Never played anything like it.	x

* Other Information *

In Deathmatch, each player starts in an ammo-filled room with no
visible exit. However, walking around the room will reveal a teleporter
which transports you to the main part of the level.

There are two elevator buttons; one makes it go high-speed, the other
makes it go normal speed. It takes a couple minutes for the elevator
to get down, so be patient, and try not to fall off while it's going off!

If you like the level but find the waits unbearable, you could turn some
of the terraces into small elevators, so you can work your way up to the
top a second way. If you know anything at all about WAD editing, making
the change is VERY easy. I hereby give permisson for anyone to make the
previously mentioned change.

I may make the change myself soon, and release a new version of
ELEVATOR.WAD.

PLEASE distribute this WAD on the Internet if you have access. Although
I have an account, I'm unable to upload it myself. I wish this WAD to
become widespread, and I would be very grateful to anyone who does so.
