Description:	A report has been sent to you revealing the location of one the Icon's many homes. You will be beamed into a nearby office thought to be a cover for demonic goings on. There are rumours that the Icon is in fact man-sized and uses machinery in this house to change to it's size to the more 'well-known' bulk. It would be nice if you could find this machine and trash it (have a go in it first if you find it.. go on!) Good luck. Beware that this level is a paradox! And don't be too greedy at the end!! New graphics created / modified on an Acorn RISC PC and converted to BMP's using !ChangeFSI and !ToBMP software.
Credits:	Mr Odessa for the transparencies hanging from the ceiling idea. If you haven't got any of the Odessa series, get them now! Also, 'I Anubis' is nice. Bloke who wrote !ToBMP/!FromBMP. Ben Hell for testing.
Base:	New level from scratch
Build time:	About a week on & off
Editor(s) used:	DeeP 7.11 & deepbsp for map + nodes, RMB21 for reject map, (use one people, not all of us have pentia (yet)) Acorn !Paint, !ChangeFSI & DA's Picture for gfx. !FromBMP, !ToBMP for gfx conversion, DEUTEX for gfx inclusion
Bugs:	A weird one. The green torches RAISE when you 'figure out' the first room (!?). Later on they come back!

0 stars. AWFUL. Who voted it so highly?	x
I'll give it one star but only because it must have actually taken some time to make	x
A creative map. Maybe a bit too difficult due to lack of ammo, but not impossible.	x
can you say - IMPSE!!	x
below average... 2/5	x
I don't see whats so awful. It seems decent to me anyway. 3.5 stars	x
