COOL!! 5/5 -- Moti_The~Doom	x
Playing this map takes some patience and good will because of several enervations in gameplay. Apart from this, the map is interesting enough. Some nice texturing ideas and some tight fights in the buildings make this wad worth a look. 3/5 -Milian	x

Sequel to Dead Base and Mountain of Fire, two of my favorite classics :)
=======================================================
WASTELAND: SANDS OF DEATH (version 0.5) (position E2L3)

IMPORTANT NOTICE

This level is the sequel of `Mountain of Fire' and MUST be played after that
level, otherwise you will never have enough ammo to complete `Sands of
Death'. The best thing would be to download `Mountain of Fire' immediately
(filename MTFIRExx.ZIP, xx = version number), but there is an alternative:
in order to allow you to play this level as a stand-alone WAD file
I placed the ammo needed to play the level near the start point.
You simply need to turn around 180 degrees and walk back 'inside':
you will find all the equipment you need in a small room to the left.

ANYWAY, the *REAL* player will play all the Wasteland levels and WON'T NEED
to pick up any more ammo to play this level.... :-)

(The required ammo is something like 250/100/22/300, this means to play
Dead Base/Mountain of Fire without wasting too many shots....)

INTRODUCTION

Maj. Barowsky walked carefully along the corridor, trying to relax and
regain strength, preparing himself to face more horrors. The dark
cave, dug into volcanic rock, seemed to lead outside the cursed mountain.
He reached the end of the passage and looked at the endless desert which
lied outside. He checked his weaponry before leaving the cave and.....

BEEP!

He istinctively jumped aside, placing his back to one wall, only to realize
that the beeping noise originated from his transmitter.
`Damn it!' he thought recovering from the shock.

``Maj. Barowsky here, what's up?''

The metallic voice of the ship's computer came through the loudspeaker:
``This is my sixth attempt to reach you, a message arrived half
an hour ago, but I was unable to reach you.''

`Must have been interferences caused by the volcano' he thought.

``Ok, you can transmit me the message now'' he said.

``Affirmative'' replied the machine.

The small, colorless screen of the transmitter blinked briefly
and a test pattern appeared. He pressed the 'ready' button.
Some text appeared, indicating that the message originated from
the starbase in Kavoran, was received twenty-six minutes ago and
was an encoded military transmission. `More orders, I guess'.
The screen flashed and the text was replaced by the smiling face
of a young woman.

``Hi! Looks like you're not on board, Frank.'' said the woman ``Well,
I'll just leave the message to the computer, so that you can read
it later.''

`Jasmine? Why in hell is Lt. Morrison's wife calling dur
