Description:	A 9-level Deathmatch episode based on circular-shaped rooms. Meant to be Deathmatch (1 or 2), but has both monsters and difficulty levels, and can be played as either single-player or cooperative. (Single = mass carnage!)
Credits:	T. Welch (my DOOM partner-in-crime) and R. Fisher for being testers/cannon fodder.
Base:	9 new levels from scratch. About a month, working intermittently.

Bugs:	None at all, and damned proud of it.

Anonymous	Single player mode is fairly easy, even on UV. Plus, I don't see the point.. These maps are clearly DM maps.. small, on the verge of cramped, and almost identical to one another. It might be okay for DM, though (it's certainly more stylish than many other DM WADs of its time). Don't bother if you're playing alone. --2/5	x
Anonymous	As far as a single-player experience goes, this totally sucks!	x
Anonymous	Ummmmm...it sucks. -Woolie Wool	x

* Where to get this WAD *

Uploaded to infant2, so whatever mirrors carry it,
or
By request: pnilson@hpb.hwc.ca

Other:

* Cooperative player mode - On Level 1, if you all go out to
fight, someone will have to die to get back to the exit.  Sorry.

** Difficulty settings - they may seem insane on single-player
(especially Ultra-Violence), considering how much limited ammo is
given, but they all can be finished, without cheating, with what
there is.  Watch the demos.
