Description             : This is a wad with a design that really
                          appeals to me and was basically a test
                          of some game concepts that I wanted to
                          see used in a single wad.  Finding the
                          bonus items may take some effort and there
                          are some traps for the unwary...

Misc. Author Info       : 47 Years old, likes computers, chess,
                          bowling, shooting, and SCI-FI.  Spends
                          daytime hours hurling himself against
                          the frontiers of science as an R&D
                          chemist... but at night... heh heh...
                          DOOM Rules!

Comments                  This is not a non-stop blast-a-thon but
                          instead specializes in subtlety, high
                          playability, and cool design rather than 
                          in hordes of enemies.  Although this is a
                          completely new and original wad, its design
                          was influenced by an excellent wad titled
                          11FortK2.Wad.  Unfortunately, I've never
                          found a text file for that wad and do not
                          know who its author is.  If you are the
                          author of 11FortK2.Wad or know who s/he is,
                          please email me.

Other:  This is my first published Doom II wad that was not based
        upon my earlier Doom I levels.  The layout is basically a
        large square that contains 4 separate buildings, an outer
        yard, and an inner court yard.  Enemies are patrolling all
        of these areas and door keys are reasonably well hidden. The
        exit is also prety well hidden... and protected! :-)

        Constructive criticism, adult conversation, or emailed wads
        appreciated... mindless snivels/whining > devs:null  ;-)

	Anyone wanting to participate in creating a new Doom II
        level is especially encouraged to reply via email.

	Most of all... ENJOY!

	Coming attractions... nothing in mind for now but perhaps
                              soon.
