lupinx-Kassman	Fairly competent episode of mid-nineties maps. Contains some new textures which mostly consist of some neat black magic iconography used for the Wytchlight group. The link in the textfile is defunct, but they appear to still be kickin' here: http://www.wytchligh t.com/Dandanon/Defau lt.aspx. They even made a few small games.	x
Anonymous	fuckin awesome	x
Anonymous	Six levels dated October 1996. Map01 is extremely (almost literally) linear; you just run forwards. Map02 is a bit better, but the levelset really gets going with Map03, which is a complete change of tack, a pretty entertaining large-scale mine with a solid monster count. Map04 is like Map02 but much bigger; Map05 is an impressively giant and non-linear cathedral; Map06 is a fun although easy large arena. If you start at Map03 it's not bad at all.	x
Anonymous	An above average set of maps. Nothing too special, but fun and fairly challenging.	x

Who are Wytchlight?

Wytchlight is a small group based in Bath (UK) who wrote and published
"Dandanon" the role-playing game.  We all love DOOM and think that Id are
Gods amongst men.  If you want to find out more about us, look up our 
INTERNET Home Page Site at :- http/www.man.ac.uk/~jacquesa/dandanon
[or type Dandanon into your browser]  The home page is kept by Anthony
Jacques (and looks rather nice if you've got Netscape...)

If you wish to contact Wytchlight, feel free to drop us a line via Anthony
or terestrial mail...

Story... (Not to be taken seriously)

It has been many years since the townsfolk have had contact with the
church atop Mount Osiron.  Rumour in the taverns has it that demons have
taken the mountain as their own and corrupted the church.

Then villagers at the foot of the mount began disappearing.  Not just
one at a time, but whole families at a time.  And always the same evidence
at the scene: blood but no bodies; char marks, as if from an intense heat; 
and these strange metal pellets lodged in walls and trees...

You, Lancelot J. Lewis, have made your way to the base of Mt Osiron, being
the Goddamn-Macho-Hero type, and have found a fissure in the rock which seems
to lead to an entrance into the mountain.  Carrying only a strange weapon
found at the scene of one of the disappearances and wearing the traditional
robes of the warrior (?), you step onwards towards glory, honour and 
slaughter...  What a man!

Level 1 : Entrance into Evil
Level 2 : Caverns of Evil
Level 3 : Mines of Evil
Level 4 : Halls of Evil
Level 5 : Church of Evil
Level 6 : Web of Evil
