                          Goofy Description:
==============================================================================
     I've worked on this silly level for over six months now and 
I have often wondered why.  For some reason beyond my control, I could 
not stop adding sectors.. they began to take over my life..until I could no 
longer focus on anything other than sectors..sectors.. and more sectors....
Sectors everywhere. They're driving me MAD!...MAD I TELL YOU!! Anyway, I've 
finally kicked the habit (for now- deathmatch levels are on there way). 
I would like to take this moment to discuss the inner workings of Too Dark 
Park. It is a special level. It is dedicated to the memory of Dwayne R. 
Goettel of the late "industrial" band Skinny Puppy whom without which, many 
of you NIN fans out there just may not have existed. Brap on...The Process 
awaits us!  Now then, as for the technical Doom stuff, this is a very large 
level meant to be played single player.  If you don't enjoy hunting for your 
frags, just stick to single player for this one (although a 4 player 
deathmatch may not be so bad).  
Because I couldn't keep myself from constantly adding new sectors, those 
of you with "slower" machines may find that your game runs slow in certain 
areas of the map... it shouldn't be as bad as some large maps though. This is 
not a die and start over again and again level- I tried to disperse the 
monsters evenly and to not create a level full of "boss monsters" who want to 
destroy and kick your butt over and over again. 
Hopefully you should find this level less impossible than most of the 
mid-range IWADS in Doom2.
  *There is, however, one secret area in the level which needs to be uncovered  
in order to make successful completion -more- possible.  It is an area where
you will find alot of fun ammunitions (and a few nasty bad guys as well).
Being a large area in and of itself, discovery of this area should ensure that 
weapons aren't exhausted, yet may prove to be a challenge to exit back to the
normal areas.*
   Lastly, have a good time with this level.  Alot of time was spent on 
textures!

neat BBS known as The Black Cat Game Server OKC, Bluegill for being such a cool 
guy, testing my level, and playing doom with me to bring me out of my 
Deathmatch withdrawl convulsions, and lastly the creators of all doom editors 
everywhere (especially the ones I used).
