Description             : Nostromo's Run takes place in an isolated station
                           aboard some alien planet.  The base was used for
                           fighter training and mutant entertainment and
                           features a large arena.  Humans were being brought
                           to this pleasure ground for the mutants amusement.

                           As a specially skilled warrior, your assignment is
                           as follows:  You will be teleported into the cellar
                           of the main complex.  You (and any you wish to have
                           join you) are to clean out the complex of all
                           mutants.  Our intelligence sources state that the
                           area is literally infested with all kinds of
                           cretins so your mission will be a tough one.
                           Ultimately, you should make your way to the arena;
                           a large open area of which no human has escaped.
                           Our sources also say that getting to the arena is
                           no easy task.  The base includes a large maze that
                           can be quite confusing with shifting floors.  But,
                           I know that with your special training, you can
                           hack it.

                           Nostromo's Run took me a year to complete and it's
                           my first wad.  I put so much time and energy into
                           it that, at the time, I did not believe that I
                           would be making a sequel.  But because of the
                           stupendous feedback I've received over the last
                           few months, I've begun building a Nostromo's Run
                           II and more sequeals are now in the planning
                           stages.

                           Thanks for checking it out and I hope you like it.
                           Feedback greatly appreciated

                          get back to their buddies quickly)
Deathmatch 2-4 Player   : No - far too big with too many limited
                          access areas.

                          without dying at least once.  It's very winable

     You may NOT place this wad on a marketable CD-Rom without the express
written consent of Rich Johnston.  If you should find this wad on a CD-Rom

     This wad has been included on the CD-Rom that accompanies SAMS

have received my full consent for including it in their product....even though
that particular copy does not carry this disclaimer.

     You may incorporate any ideas and/or sections of the wad into your own

(over 300k), it may run sluggish on some machines.  My suggestion...upgrade.
If you have any suggestions on improvements, let me know.  I'd certainly
be willing to consider a future version although, at this point, I don't
know what I'd change.
