Description:
Credits:	The original crew at id Software, who gave us (well, OK, sold us) a wonderful new art form, and to Doomworld for being there. To my wife Virginia, who not only puts up with my efforts, but aids and abets them - and who lets me win at Deathmatch occasionally. ;-P And to Jason Hargreaves for creating "Nukemine" from which I drew inspiration and some actual sectors.
Base:	Levels 1, 3 & 9: new from scratch; level 2: based on level 1 of Nukemine by Jason Hargreaves Blanket permission granted in his info file - by the time I sent him an email he'd left the University of Alberta and the email was returned undeliverable and unread, so if he's reading this, I hope he reviews my work and is happy with the outcome.
Build time:	Years, off and on.

Reviews:

Although there are quite a few errors in the levels themselves (inconsistancies, slime trails, places to get stuck), I would have to say the gameplay and level design earn a good 4 stars. It could be much better, but it was still fun to play.	x
No need for super detailed rooms, but these are simply flat. Plus the third level is too huge and confusing. 2/5	x

===========================================================================

Advanced engine needed  : ZDoom/ZDoomGL - Not because of any tricky stuff, but 
                          because these maps are too big & complex for vanilla 
                          Doom.

Primary purpose  : SP (Deathmatch starts included, but not tested)

NOTE  : These are the first three levels (and the secret level) 
                          from a proposed megawad. These are the first three 
                          levels from that project, of which the first nine are 
                          completed (well, OK, level four is still under 
                          construction). I am releasing them in groups because 
                          the later ones are big and complex. Levels 1-3 all go 
                          together, as you will see, and of course level 9 has 
                          to be included because it's accessable from level 3.

Title  : Doom-X

Filename  : doomx1-3.wad

Recommended port : ZDoomGL (may look to bright using ZDoom)

Best time to play  : Anytime: in a dark room at night using ZDoomGL, during 
                          the day using ZDoom.

Settings  : My Trinitron monitor is set with both brightness and 
                          contrast at 50%, and the in-game slider for brightness 
                          is also set to 50%. I've replaced the original sky with  
                          a starry sky, so it should look black with little white 
                          fuzzy dots in GL mode - or with white squares and 
                          rectangles if you must play it using some other port.
