BASE: "Up-Down.WAD" [minipak2.WAD, map06] by Mr.DooM [*used with permission]

MODIFICATION DURATION: couple hrs

-----------------------------------

NOTES: I really bugged out when I saw this map in a WADpak found at cdrom.com

[ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/doom/levels/doom2/deathmatch/m-o/minipak2.zip] [I think]

because it appears to be the template that DOOM --> Quake conversion God-like

figure Ian "DAJAN" Upham used for his incredible "Life's A _.bsp" for Classic

Quake [ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/quake/levels/deathmatch/j-l/life_a.zip] [I think],

one of the true pinnacles of DOOM --> Quake map conversions [my favorite genre]

and I said to myself "Boy oh boy I gotta do somethng with this baby ...", and lo

and behold the author had even kindly given his consent for its use as a base, so

here is my first effort, an Homage to DAJAN, meant to simulate a DeathMatch FFA

in DOOM2 SP mode; those familiar with my work should know what to expect :-]-~



THANX TO: "Mr.DooM" for his incredible WAD and being cool about letting folks

mess with it, DAJAN for inspiring me with his DOOM --> Quake conversions, Opulent

for his Blind Faith, and idSoftware for making such great fucking games.



AUTHORS may use this as a base for new work [*the original WAD came with author's

consent so I'll pass it on to you], but please do not redistribute this or ANY of

my game levels on hard storage format media for profit - NO MONEY!!
