Of interest, the author went on to write "Learning the bash Shell" for O'Reilly. And this wad is the kind of wad you'd expect from a technical author. Prissy, pedantic, basically a lot of switch trigger puzzles with no hints and no way of working them out except for trial and error. No entertainment value at all; you might as well just load it in Doombuilder and look at the puzzles that way.

---- Scream Level ---
   "Zork - with a shotgun"

This level is a little larger and more involved than my last level
(Daemon2).

Scream is designed mainly for solo players.  I have no idea how well
it would play on deathmatch or co-op.

Scream incorporates some rather nasty puzzles which you will have to
solve to complete the level.  There are clues and you will have to
use your eyes and brain as well as your trigger finger.

A number of people sent me mail regarding Daemon2 - mostly claiming
I hadn't made doors or provided switches.  That's ok - after all,
I'm interested to hear of any bugs, but in all cases it was because
the players hadn't done something.  I can assure you that all of
the puzzles have been checked and tested.  They can all be solved
*without* resorting to cheat keys.  This applies to Scream as well.

BTW, to complete this level successfully you should end up with a
kill ratio of about 90%.  Not all of the monsters have to be killed :)
If you can do 100% - good luck to you - you are a true doom.god.

If you have any questions regarding Scream.wad, send them to the
address below.

Have fun.
