Description:	Designed for Doom II. Fight in crowded rooms as a team or single player. You might call this hack'n'slash. I have used all monsters except Spiderboss. Tips: Use the small arena (revealed later in game) to fight the cyberdemon. Some switches opens two doors. Some teleports gives different landings from time to time. This wad gives plenty of oppertunity to let the monsters finish themselves off. I have built in extra rooms (and a teleport too!) for you teamplayers (cooperative mode), so you can finish the monsters off more quickly. These places are not available in single player without IDCLIP. There is a small slowdown in the first big room you enter. I have tried different things, but none helped much.

Base:	New level from scratch
Build time:	4 weeks + addictional 1 hour for bugfixing.
Editor(s) used:	Deep 730r, RMB.
Bugs:	Hope all are fixed now.

Reviews:

Anonymous	Had a lot of fun with this level. Certainly proves to be difficult from a pistol start, but not impossible. You'll recognize Jens' style from the Memento Mori series.	x
Anonymous	Coulda been good,but wasn't.	x

Description             : Designed for Doom II. Fight in crowded rooms
			  as a team or single player. You might call this 
			  hack'n'slash. I have used all monsters except
			  Spiderboss. Tips: Use the small arena (revealed 
			  later in game) to fight the cyberdemon. Some 
			  switches opens two doors. Some teleports gives
			  different landings from time to time.

This wad gives plenty of oppertunity to let the
			  monsters finish themselves off.

I have built in extra rooms (and a teleport too!) 
			  for you teamplayers (cooperative mode), so you can 
			  finish the monsters off more quickly. These places
			  are not available in single player without IDCLIP.

There is a small slowdown in the first big room you
			  enter. I have tried different things, but none
			  helped much.

Version 2.0 Enhancements: A lot of texture alignments. Added dm spots for
			  you guys who play any maps DM. Switched the player
			  start positions (coop only) and made the 4th player
			  enter more safe. Fixed the odd behavior of the three
			  Mancubus at the pillars. They used to stand and turn
                          without shooting. Build the nodes with DeePbsp (from
			  DeeP 7.30 and RMB.

Designers system        : Pentium 90 Mhz with ATI WinTurbo.

Additional Notes        : Send all comments to me at the above address
			  I am about to design a serious deathmatch
			  level, and I would like to get a hint from YOU.
			  Send me a comment of WHAT YOU LIKE in a deathmatch
			  wad. All replies will be answered, if they are 
			  serious.
