GENERAL INFO ABOUT... THE POOL v1.0 (08/05/1998) ======================================================================= Title : THE POOL v1.0 Filemame : Pool10.map (340 Ko) Author : ACE Email : devaux@cismsun.univ-lyon1.fr WEB page : Sorry, not yet ! Misc. Author Info : Nicolas DEVAUX, alias ACE 73, rue du 1er mars 1943 69100 VILLEURBANNE FRANCE Don't look for my phone number in this file, You'll find it in the MAP (have a look at the gallery with DUKE's face above its entrance). Description : THE POOL is my first MAP for DUKE NUKEM 3D. I didn't mean to build a huge level (though it is !), but especially to take care over de- tails such as sounds, scale and realism. I think the map is OK now, and I hope you'll like it. Please let me know ! THE POOL was originally designed for Single Player, but it fits Co-op well, too. Sorry for Dukematch addicts, I tried to adapt THE POOL, but there was really no way to (players would spend too much time to find each other in the map). Please don't use cheatcodes to get a jetpack, cheating is no fun ! Story : Though aliens forces seem to have disappeared from the earth after the fall of the CYCLOID EMPEROR, you've heard that a group of survi- vors had managed to escape. Searching the city for a suitable area where to build a new headquarter, remaining aliens have chosen a swipping-pool where to settle back and power up before the final assault. You must now get rid of these last opponents before they reach their goal: spreading the terror around the earth again.
