Author:	Tom Sanner (Mr.DooM)
Description:	8 DooM 1 (or Ultimate DooM) Death-Match levels. Converted from original DooM 2 wad (10 PAK) made by me. Perfect for a bloody marathon with alot of variety. All skill levels are included to match everyones various playing abilities. These levels are also optimized for use of monsters as they are kept at a minimum to allow for good respawning monster play in death-match (they won't get too much in the way but still add alot to the fun). Skill levels 1 & 2 -Plentiful in ammo & health bonuses. Slightly less (or weaker) monsters. No BFG's (except the BFG Frag level) Skill levels 3 THRU 5 -Less ammo and health accordingly. Level 5 has almost no power spheres. More (and/or stronger) monsters. BFG's (and all weapons) are available.

Description:              8 DooM 1 (or Ultimate DooM) Death-Match
                          levels. Converted from original DooM 2 
                          wad (10 PAK) made by me. Perfect for a 
                          bloody marathon with alot of variety.

                          everyones various playing abilities.  
                          These levels are also optimized for use 
                          of monsters as they are kept at a 
                          minimum to allow for good respawning

                          alot to the fun).

Skill levels 1 & 2    -Plentiful in ammo & health bonuses.
                          Slightly less (or weaker) monsters.
                          No BFG's (except the BFG Frag level)
   Skill levels 3 THRU 5 -Less ammo and health accordingly.

                          BFG's (and all weapons) are available.

Because of the Co-Op exits, the timer parameter is recommended.
   Example...  -timer15 (for 15 minutes)

If you use iD's DM shell, try using the following settings...
Modem, 2players, Deathmatch, Wait(or Call), Com#, Skill 3, Wads,
Timer 15, and Respawn. Don't forget to hit F3 and enter the 
name and path of 8pak.wad.

Level Info...
-------------
1 -Nuke Walk    -Stay on the walk or get nuked! Everything is
                 is out in the open so there's nowhere to hide.
                 Should make for plenty of frags including
                 suicides. All weapons except BFG. Exit switch 
                 in NW corner opens exit room door in NE corner.
2 -Sniper DM    -My homage to DOOM 2's map 1 but entirely new
                 and created from scratch. This level has better
                 flow than our old favorite. It also includes
                 numerous sniper points with one way wall
                 textures. Switch in North end of long hall opens
                 exit door in South end of hall.
3 -Telyfrag     -Here's a level where you can frag your opponent
                 without ever shooting a shot. Tele-frag 'em 
                 time after time!  Switch at South side opens
                 door to exit room in North side.
4 -Rocket Frag  -This one is a blast. Rocket launcher and Berserk
                 are the only weapons (along with your pistol, of
                 course).  4 main rooms, all with obstacles that
                 make you think before you let a rocket fly.
                 Switch on East wall of room with moving 
                 platforms opens exit door on West side.
5 -Fragagon     -Small Figure 8 shaped level with 2 higher ledges
                 running along the outside walls. To get the good
                 weapons you jump down from the ledges upon the
                 large crates. Switch on North end opens exit 
                 door on south end, which remains open unless 
                 your opponent hits the low switch in the middle.
6 -BFG Frag     -Only BFG's and Berserk packs. A Mega Sphere is
                 located in the center but can make you a sitting
                 duck. A real wild one! Hidden room in South side
                 reveals a switch that opens the exit room on the 
                 North side.
7 -Keep Movin'  -My homage to DooM 2's map 07, a death-match
                 classic! This one has a more 3-D look including
                 some lifts that take you to platforms.  You 
                 can't hide in this one so keep movin'.  
                 NE switch opens exit room in SW.
8-Trap-A-frag  -This is one of my favorites. 4 trap rooms are
                 located all around a large main circular trap
                 room. Peep holes help you spy on your opponent.
                 The red floor areas are triggers to set off
                 the various traps.  The switches in the middle
                 room also set a trap. The teleport room requires 
                 a certain left/right movement to reach the 
                 goodies. West switch opens exit room located
                 in the East end.
