Description:	A collection of 7 Deathmatch PWADS for DOOM ][. All of these levels are intended to be played WITHOUT the -nomonsters parm. If you like playing with monsters, you may find these monsters well-placed for death- match play. If you don't like monsters in deathmatch, give it a try for these levels, and you might find yourself thanking that cyberdemon for wasting your opponent just before he could get the BFG... Two of the levels are brand new levels never before distributed, and the remainder are old DOOM levels recycled for use with DOOM ][. All levels and textures were created by myself, and I hope the hell this is the last thing I ever make for DOOM, DOOM ][, or Heretic. We'll see about Strife... FORMULA.WAD is a lame attempt at making DOOM look like a racing event. I wanted to put in more road markings, but I had some visplanes trouble and gave up on that. There is perhaps a measure of realism in this level, as there has probably been at least one F1/Indycar driver that has entertained the notion of taking a shotgun to the spectators :) FRITZ.WAD is hopefully my final level, and so it is named after my girlfriend-with-whom-I- have-been-living-for-over-5-years-and-why-the- hell-havn't-I-married-her-yet-anyways..... Enjoy...

Visually, these maps aren't too shabby at all, but they're just too sprawling for a good DM - Also, monsters in a deathmatch? That's unheard of these days.

                          DOOM ][. All of these levels are intended
                          to be played WITHOUT the -nomonsters parm.
                          If you like playing with monsters, you may
                          find these monsters well-placed for death-
                          match play. If you don't like monsters in

                          before he could get the BFG...

Two of the levels are brand new levels never
                          before distributed, and the remainder are old
                          DOOM levels recycled for use with DOOM ][. All

                          We'll see about Strife...

FORMULA.WAD is a lame attempt at making DOOM
                          look like a racing event. I wanted to put in
                          more road markings, but I had some visplanes
                          trouble and gave up on that. There is perhaps
                          a measure of realism in this level, as there
                          has probably been at least one F1/Indycar
                          driver that has entertained the notion of
                          taking a shotgun to the spectators :)

FRITZ.WAD is hopefully my final level, and so
                          it is named after my girlfriend-with-whom-I-
                          have-been-living-for-over-5-years-and-why-the-
                          hell-havn't-I-married-her-yet-anyways.....
                          Enjoy...

Exits                   : MAP01 (ULTIMA.WAD)   : Single player

Located atop the southern lift, clearly marked,
                          and the only switch on the level. Hard to miss.

MAP02 (FORMULA.WAD)  : Single player

Located behind the door in the "hidden" service
                          tunnel. The door can be identified by the back-
                          packs and Megasphere near it.

MAP03 (CLAWSON7.WAD) : Cooperative

The exit lies in the building which houses the
                          rocket launcher and rockets (protected by a
                          crusher). The switch on the green wall lowers
                          the lift to the right. The switch atop that lift
                          lowers the opposite lift, and the switch atop
                          the opposite lift reveals the exit. As you can't
                          get from one lift to the other quickly enough,
                          have one player stationed near the second lift
                          for when the switch atop the first lift is hit.

MAP04 (DMRANDOM.WAD) : Single Player

Behind where each player start is a switch
                          which is the exit switch. Sorry if this causes
                          any confusion, but I originally made this level
                          so that only a player who had just died could
                          exit the level.

MAP05 (DMSPIRAL.WAD) : Single Player

Behind where all the players start is a switch
                          which is the exit switch. Sorry if this causes
                          any confusion, but I originally made this level
                          so that only a player who had just died could
                          exit the level.

MAP06 (DMPORTER.WAD) : Cooperative

In the room with the Super Shotgun is a secret
                          door that leads to a switch. This switch lowers
                          a lift in the "Master Switch Room" which can be
                          identified by being the only room that has 8
                          switches in it. You can reach the "Master
                          Switch Room" by going through either of the
                          teleporters marked by backpacks, lowering the
                          lift into the pit, and running down the hallway
                          at the bottom of the pit to the teleporter there.
                          When a Player hits the switch in the room with
                          the Super Shotgun, the lift in the "Master Switch
                          Room" lowers, revealing another switch. That
                          switch lowers the silver structure in the very
                          center of the level and reveals the exit switch.

MAP07 (FRITZ.WAD)    : Single Player

Taking the BFG opens two large doors, revealing
                          two Invulnerability Spheres. Taking each of these
                          spheres opens doors revealing teleporters which
                          lead back into the main acid area. Entering these
                          teleporters lowers a platform behind the BFG.
                          The back wall of this platform conceals a lift
                          which leads the exit switch.
