Description:	I created Wedge for my own personal kicks. The level is elevator intensive without becoming unplayable. The level contains all the gut-splattering and limb severing weapons that DOOM has to offer, though some are easier to get than others. Originally designed as a single player game for people who think that ultra violent is a day at the beach, WEDGE has proved itself as a KILLER modem deathmatch level. (This was the consensous after SEVERAL hours of playtesting, and too many hours for me to mention of fiddling.)

INTRODUCTION:

Wow... Impressive header, don't ya think?  I guess this is where I plug Wedge
a happy little level composed by myself, Chris Straw, major DOOM addict.  Pwads
in general are happy, since no doubt the reader can play the three ID episodes
with his or her eyes shut and only using his or her fists on nightmare mode.

Boring after a time, unless you play DEATHMATCH... But enter in the
QUALITY Pwads such as Scream, Fortress, E1M1CNC, and hopefully WEDGE.WAD, and
DOOM is given NEW LIFE!!!

YEAH YEAH BUT WHAT ABOUT WEDGE.WAD:

Okay, I'll tell you.  I created Wedge for my own personal kicks.  The level
is elevator intensive without becoming unplayable.  The level contains all the
gut-splattering and limb severing weapons that DOOM has to offer, though some
are easier to get than others.  Originally designed as a single player game for
people who think that ultra violent is a day at the beach, WEDGE has proved
itself as a KILLER modem deathmatch level.  (This was the consensous after
SEVERAL hours of playtesting, and too many hours for me to mention of fiddling.)

SPEAKING OF THAT, HOW WAS WEDGE CREATED:

Wedge was created on DOOMEDIT (Yes, the windows editor.  MUCH faster level
synthesis time than DEU.  This is mostly due to the sector by sector approach.)
This is my second level created with DOOMEDIT (See E1M1CNC in the combos dir on
OCF.)  and I would recommend that you give this editor a shot.  I guarantee you
will be pleased with the results.  But, enough of the DOOMEDIT plug...

BEFORE I WREAK MINDLESS HORROR APON DISGUSTING DROOLING MINIONS OF DOOM:

Yeah, there's some stuff you might want to know.  The door by the blue key
doesn't open from the outside ON PURPOSE.  Find another way in.  That's all I
want to say about that.  This level is Cyber-demon and Spider-demon free, just
because everyone's putting them in their levels and it gets old fast.  #:^)
However, I created this level so that it would take an effort for ME to beat
the damn thing.  Don't feel bad if the plentitude of baddies rip through you 
the first couple times, and DON'T come whining to me about the general lack of
medikits!!!  There's plenty of ammo to finish the level.  Oh yeah, I made the
lower difficulty settings patronizingly easy for the most part.  Less guys, 
more ammo, more health.  Boring!!  #:^)  Oh, and NO TRAPS!!!  This level is 
highly circular and contains absolutely no annoying "You fall in here forever"
spots.  Wedge.wad is designed for the sharpshooters; the people who don't run
when faced by twelve shotgun guys, eight Imps, and a smattering of barons of 
Hell.  Wedge is a level for people who enjoy a challenge but disdain the
impossibile.  Most of all, Wedge is fun.  Have fun, and toast a Cacodaemon for 
me, willya?

Sincerely,

BTW:  Feel free to upload this, FTP it, use kermit (if you MUST) to send it 
      out... so long as it has this text file, AND WEDGE stays just like it 
      is right now.
