This is dated November 1996. Starts off in a hangar with a really nice hovering spaceship; doesn't really go anywhere after that. It's technically competent - as a hangar, it knocks the spots off E1M1 - but the texturing is bland you fight mostly weak monsters in dribs and drabs. Near the start you have to jump into a slime fountain to find the blue key, and the ending just seems to come from nowhere. Not bad, a solid two and a half.

Play it on a Pentium. Just PLEASE play it on a Pentium. I'm still using
my prehistoric 486/33, and it runs like shit. Donations, anyone? E-mail
me and I could give you my address, that is if a small donation is involved.
Then maybe I could make levels in less than 3 months! PLEEEEEEZE? Oh yeah,
I finally put monsters in, so it makes a fine single-player level as well.
Also, check out my Hexen level, CASTLE.WAD. It's also at the site below.
Oh, and one more thing. I have included a DeHackEd patch with this made by me,
which I have titled "Killer Weapons". It changes the BFG, Plasma Gun, and
Rocket Launcher into a short range Anti-Matter-type weapon, a nerve gas
cannon, and an all-time classic favorite, a FLAME THROWER!!! I haven't
checked out many new patches recently, but I think you will enjoy it. It's
oh so entertaining to watch those troopers burn into cinders!

Version 3 notes:
The reason I have updated my level is because I finally played a deathmatch
with it the other day and discovered that it really SUCKS for deathmatch,
and it sucked for single player, too. So, I have made some improvements.
Here's a list of version 2 improvements:

1)NO BFG! (Well, there is, you just can't get to it. My apologies to those
who can't aim or get any other decent guns.)
2)added a teleporter area to get to one of the 3 of the main arenas.
3)a few more ammo & power-ups

And also, a few cosmetic & technical improvements:
1)a little more detail in the exit lobby thingy (not the ship)
2)fixed some of the no map parts
3)other stuff

New version 3 improvements:

1)MONSTERS!!!!
2)more deathmatch-friendly improvements, like
 * more ammo & health
 * better & more ambush spots
 * more accessible areas
3)more other stuff

* Copyright / Permissions *

Authors MAY use this level as a base to build additional levels,
but give me some credit somewhere in your .TXT file, and send me
a copy of your new wad, or at least let me know where to check it out.
