Memfis	I admit I was expecting something horrible when I saw the first room but it turned out not so bad after all. It's mostly just very basic rooms but there is some fun horde slaughtering and figuring out the way was somewhat entertaining. Also cool new graphics (weird chainsaw replacement, chainsaw zombies, etc) and it's interesting how two out of three levels exist solely for storytelling. Overall kinda poor but it has its moments.	x
Anonymous	Three maps from July 1997, with custom sounds and graphics in separate files that I didn't bother to load. Gets off to a bad start with Map01, which can only be described as a series of undetailed 1994-style rooms one after the other, except that it's impossible because of a cyberdemon that blocks you; Map02 is a single square room with no baddies; Map03 is a larger square room - dark - with one monster and no exit. DO NOT WANT.	x

                          completed at 10 to midnight!!!   As you can see in
                          some parts, I am a bit crap at aiming, my Dooming
                          skills have unfortunately suffered over the past
                          few weeks, although I am soon getting my old skill
                          back!!!   Anyone for a deathmatch?   :-)   I had
                          to kill myself at the end though, it crashes if you
                          try and exit the level.

To play with new graphics you'll need to add all sprites to a graphics WAD,
I've included a setup batch file and DEUSF.EXE to do this.

Known Bugs              : None, please tell me if you find any and I'll 
			  fix them!

* How to play *

Just unzip the file BLUESTR.ZIP into your Doom2 directory and type 
	bluestr install
Then when you want to play Blue Streak Doom, type
	bluestr
And that's it!   If you have any problems or need help just e-mail me!!!

format (BBS, Diskette, CD, etc) as long as you include this file 
intact and let me know first!

Comments by e-mail are greatfully appreciated!!!

* What's in the ZIP file? *

OK, so you want to know what's in the ZIP file, BLUESTR.ZIP

BLUESTR.WAD  -  The main WAD file, with the level map in
	BLUESND.WAD  -  The sound WAD with the new sounds in
	BLUEGFX.WAD  -  The graphics WAD with new graphics in
	BLUESTR.TXT  -  This text file
	BLUESTR.BAT  -  A batch file to run and install Blue Streak
	DEUSF.EXE    -  Program needed to copy sprites to the graphics WAD

Three separate WAD files are used so that you don't have to install the 
graphics WAD in order to play, usefull if you're short of disk space.
And also so that you can play with standard sounds if you want.

* Where to get this WAD from *

Try:   
	ftp.cdrom.com/pub/doom/
it should be under one of the Doom2 levels directories

Or go to my Home Page and download it from there:
	http://members.aol.com/anacondauk/
it'll be in my Doomed Pages...

Or try Wall Street BBS in Hull(UK):

* The story *

During the height of the Cold War, the British Government built a secret 
nuclear installation on the Moon.   Nuclear weapons were stockpiled and a 
nuclear power station provided materials for the weapons and powered the 
huge mass of military buildings.   This huge operation was code-named 
"Blue Streak".   Hundreds of people were conscripted to go to the Moon 
bases and train for a huge war that never was.   The top scientists 
conducted experiments on the soldiers, trying to make them perfect nuclear
soldiers.   Then one day an experiment went drastically wrong, the reactor
in the power plant reached critical and blew up.   The moon bases were 
blown apart and hundreds of people were killed.   All communication to the
bases was lost and no-one on Earth never truly found out what happened on 
that unfortunate day.   For over 30 years the moon bases have remained a 
lost nuclear waste dump, left to moulder and decay in the ravages of time.   
Alien bacteria, carried to the Moon on meteorites spawned and mutated 
creatures of hideous forms roamed the Moon bases, that is until now...   
It is your job to clean out the Moon Bases, and find out the truth behind 
what happened there, 30 years ago....   You are equipped with no more than 
a feather duster and a pistol, maybe you can find a Hoover or a shotgun in 
the large expanses of the Moon Bases....   Nearing the Moon your navicom 
picks up sign of humanoid life, surely, it cannot be....?   Your ship land
safely on the lunar surface, not far from one of the Bases.   Already you 
can hear grotesque noises emanating from inside.   You see a way in, you 
push open the door and behold the vast Moon base.........
