Description:	A great 1 on 1 (or 2 on 2) Deathmatch wad for DOOM2. Takes a couple minutes to get used to, but the depth is there.
Credits:	The DEU team, of course, and Brian Hess for helping me test it. Additional credits go to the #doom gang, particularly FunkyBoss for testing it with me (he did the LD call!) and Slug and Scooby for offering some insight.
Base:	A couple minutes doodling in AP Gov't.
Build time:	An hour one day, some testing, and an hour the next.
Editor(s) used:	DEU5.21GC!!! Yes, besides for the floors (done all with WADED), this WAD was made completely with good old "DOOM 1 only" DEU5.21 with some creative use of WAD1to2.
Bugs:	None, and the textures are aligned well.

There is another version of HeadAche floating around that has
a rocket gulping wall in it. If two seemingly alike versions
of HeadAche have consistency failures, it is likely that one
is using this old version.

* Play Information *

Episode and Level #     : MAP01
Single Player           : Yes, good for practicing, I suppose. 
                          This is a Deathmatch level though!
Cooperative 2-4 Player  : Yes, but only if its 2 on 2 deathmatch
                          style cooperative.
Deathmatch 2-4 Player   : This is what its MEANT for! Rocks!!
Difficulty Settings     : Yes! Very important: Practice in one 
                          player on skills 1-3, but if you're
                          gonna Deathmatch someone, up the skill
                          to 4 (5's the best!) and take on your
                          friends while the Stomper brothers
                          pick you off from the distance! I can
                          guarantee you won't be stopping for
                          breath!
New Sounds              : Naw..
New Graphics            : I should of, I really should, but this
                          was my first DOOM _2_ level, and I 
                          wanted to use their textures.
Demos Replaced          : Not yet..

* Comments *
Headache has a lot of strong points: Running for a weapon opens
you up for attack (some more than others), its not too hard to 
lose your opponent and sneak up on him, and the BFG isn't AS 
useful here (A) You have to get hurt to get it, and B) There's 
lots of places to hide). Also, I prefer to play with good ol'
-Deathmatch here 'cause I'm not one for multiple megasphere
charge ups, but its there for those who like it that way. Oh, 
and the "bridge" is a GREAT place to jump in with a surprise 
rocket flurry.
