I like. :]

For a moment there I thought of Cheetara, of the Thundercats, and I smiled. Apparently there's a Thundercats film in development, due for 2010. Still, the level. It has some cat-themed graphics, which are terrible, and some new sounds. The shotgun sounds like a stapler. Map01 is a twisty Wolfenstein maze, with right-angled passages, all alike. No height variations, unform lighting. Map02 likewise. Map03 has a lift. Map04 is the same but with a slimy floor.

The Games of the Deathtrack

Not much time has passed since the destruction of one of the devil's
most violent and gory assaults on earth, and as the base of hell itself is
taken off of Earth for good, so goes the very marine who took it out in
the huge explosion.  But in this victory, there comes a need for revenge 
against the rest of the humans, in a quest to totally annialate the human
race by the devil.  He sets his minions on a mission to track down the 
last remaining humans in the space shuttle and kill them off.
        Where are they?  The find themselves on a moon in a distant star
system, a moon called Daelinia.  Here they try to re-build their society,
to start over from scratch on an untouched place much smaller than their
former home of Earth.  This moon orbits the planet Animatronia, where 
the animals have evolved instead of humans, to replace the human form.  All
is peaceful, that was, until the humans need to live carries the evil of 
hell itself following them to this untouched system.  This is where a new
hero is needed.  The leader of the Animatronian legion gets word and sign 
of a large structure eclipsing their moon, and thus Cheetah X knows only
to seek and destroy it before his planet, and his animal-descendant 
people go up in flames as Earth once did.  
        So off Cheetah sent himself in a jet cruiser, but before he can
react, his eyes glimse the large Deathtrack, the devil's new toy.  A giant
rat-maze intended for torturing the humans, both physically AND mentally.
He has infested it with many demons, traps, and weapons.  Cheetah X had just
pressed his lazer cannons to full blast, when in a blink he finds himself 
standing in the dead center of the maze...staring at a glowing "S" on the
floor.  This is where it begins...but where might it end?  Cheetah picks
up the pistol left there by the marine of Earth, as well as some armor, and
heads into the heart, the final "F", to finish this demented plan off.

New Graphics:  YES (Player's face, menu bar, options menu, title screen,
                   skull selecting tool, level names, etc...) 
New Sounds:  YES (Weapons mostly, but character now growls like a wildcat,
                  and basically those things that were a tad too 'mild' for
                  hellish battles so it all comes off more intense and 'new'.)
New Music:  YES (ALL 32 Levels worth, and intro, with techno soundtrack)
New Lumps:  YES (screen after you quit)
New Sprites:  YES (player sprite and weapons so the character has cheetah fur.
                   OH...and the barrels are now silver with red acid)
New Levels:  YES...from scratch...4 so far, but already working on up to
             level 9 and hopes for at least 10 (but from hints from a whole
             game of new music, yes...I plan eventually to have the whole 32
             levels replaced, before moving on to Heretic, Quake, etc...
DeHacked Improvments:  Troopers have less reaction time (meaning you have more
                       chance of being shot if you don't use lighting-quick
                       reflexes.  Lost Souls are easier to kill, so I could
                       place them without worrying if there were too many.
                       Basically now I can use them as hovering, smaller troopers
                       Also changed a lot of the texts, including level names
                       and episode plot evolvements (those things between
                       the episodes saying how you've done and that you've
                       helped the humans leave earth).  Lots of things said
                       when you pick stuff up and cheat/uncheat are different.
                       Heck, I even changed all but the level-skip cheat code
                       to different things, and gave a few different settings
                       for when you do find them.

Otherwise, play on.  This is a Total Conversion, or at least an attempt at it.
The plot was written from a book I have been working on since 5th grade (and
that I still haven't finished), or at least the fact the humans are on
Daelinea and that Animatronia is there with Cheetah X as the leader.  It's
coming along.
