Reviews:

Anonymous	I made these levels when I was 17. I loved Doom, can't believe there is even a review on these maps. grumby@mac.com	x
Doomkid	Map05 is the only one that looks decent for deathmatch, otherwise this mapper showed a lot of potential for SP/Coop mapping, with these large creations.	x
Anonymous	That brass instrument version of Sanitarium on MAP04 is one of the funniest MIDIs I've ever heard, along with a brass Smells Like Teen Spirit cover I heard on some other shitty '90s deathmatch wad. 2/5	x
Anonymous	Metallica music = 0/5	x
Anonymous	Fun and original. But why in Zdaemon everybody plays crappy maps like dwango5? Oh, well...	x

=========================ADDITIONAL NOTES=============================

This will probably be my last level creating experience until QUAKE comes out 
so I decided to go ahead and go out with a bang.  Because of the huge success 
of BATTERY I figured that people just might start downloadin the wads that I
make so why not make a fat compilation of DEATHMATCH levels.  There are 
certain things that I hate about many deathmatch levels and that is that there
way too much ammo and energy.  I think the fun comes in fraggin people and not 
chasing them down while they get megasphere's and BFG's.  So I try to put the 
perfect amount of ammo in the game with enough energy to survive a few hits.
Another thing you might notice is that there is ALWAYS an invournable ball in 
the exit.  I started doin this because it was the easiest place to put it and
everyone kinda just figuered to see one there.  So in the last few levels I
decided to get a little tricky when hiding them.  If you dont see one in there
then you are not looking hard enough.  Also the 7th level in this package is 
kinda a bonuus level I guess.  It was not designed for deathmatch but for 
co-op.  So if your bored and nobody will play you give this a try.  It is a 
very challengin level for even the most experienced doomer.  Well below is a 
brief explination of each level.  Enjoy the fraggin.

1.  MORBID:     This level is a wide open level that will test the skill of
                your aim as well as your runnin and shootin skills.  This wad
                was one of my favorite wads when I was testin it with joyride.
                MUSIC:  Seek n' Destroy

2.  BATTERY:    This is the wad that was my biggest success.  I decided that I
                had to include this one just in case all the others suck.  I 
                feel that it is the best because of the way that the whole
                level surrounds the soulsphere perfectly and it is both an 
                open and closed wad that requires skill in all areas.
                MUSIC:  Battery

3.  ONE         When making this level I was only concerned with trying to 
                make a very evil looking level.  I wasnt worried about how it 
                would play to later.  When playin it finally I noticed that it
                was hella fun.  So I decided to go ahead and include it in here.
                MUSIC:  ONE

4.  CHAOS       This was originally the first level in the DIVINE wad that I 
                modified for deathmatch.  I was actually just looking for an
                easy way to get a level out and when playin DIVINE I found out
                that this was about the only level that could be turned into
                a deathmatch level, so I went ahead and did it.
                MUSIC:  Sanatarium

5.  NIGHTMARE   This level is just a nightmare.  I got sorta an idea of a
                blinking light around the outside from a strobe light. heh
                I wanted to make it a pain on your eyes as well as on your
                fraggin skills.  Most of the killin will probably take place 
                in the center arena so you will need good aiming skills to 
                get a lot of frags in this one.
                MUSIC:  Fade to Black

6.  INSANE      This was my last wad made for this compilation so it is my 
                most recent wad and maybe my best.  It is the smallest wad by
                a byte standard but it plays almost the biggest because of the
                way i designed it.  Also if you can figure out how to get the 
                invournable ball without using turbo then you rule.  It will
                not be easy, you must use your imagination :)
                MUSIC:  Blitzkrieg
                
7.  BONUS       This is a very old level that I just never got done.  I just
                wanted to get it off my hard drive so I figured why not just
                throw it in here for fun.  It is actually very fun for 
                1-player games and co-op.  And it is hella hard also.  Try and
                see if you can finish it.
                MUSIC:  The Call of Ktulu

I hope that you enjoy these wads as much as I do heh.  It took a lot of time 
and downloadin to make these so you better at least try it.  By the way.  If 
someone has the old versions of BATTERY or ONE and want to play you using that
wad it will not work.  I have made slight modifications between the originals
and the ones in this wad.  So just tell them to go download this dam thing.

Yea Yea
