PC GAMER ANNOUNCES FREE QUAKE II DEATHMATCH PACK Coconut Monkey's "Tapestry of Injustice" symbolizes agony, ecstacy of id's seminal shooter. SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- PC Gamer magazine and Coconut Monkey Studios today announced the imminent release of Coconut Monkey's Tapestry of Injustice, an unofficial add-on pack for Quake II. Featuring five unique and innovative Deathmatch levels personally created by the greatest game designer of our time exclusively for Quake II, Coconut Monkey's Tapestry of Injustice promises to focus on the most extreme elements of id Software's blockbusting 3D shooter. "I have long been fascinated by Quake and its sequel," said Coconut Monkey at a press conference in Austin, Texas today. "But I have always felt that the gaming experience could be taken to the 'next level', so to speak. I feel that this goal has been achieved with my Tapestry of Injustice. "We often hear Quake and games of that ilk described as 3D shooters, but I believe that the Tapestry of Injustice elevates this kind of gaming to the status of '4D shooter', if you will, the fourth dimension being the psychological dimension. Each of the threads carefully interwoven into this tapestry is a high-tension, pressure-cooker environment, and one from which only the most intense gamers will emerge unscathed." The five games to tbe included are as follows: COCONUT MONKEY'S THE KILLING BOX II: HOT GRITS A-FLYIN' The sequel to the phenomenally popular Coconut Monkey's The Killing Box, Hot Grits A-Flyin' is the centerpiece of Coconut Monkey's Tapestry of Injustice, and the game of which he is most proud. "As Mark Twain might have said, simplicity is the essence of beauty, and I think my Killing Box II comes close to realizing what he meant by that." The Killing Box is a cunningly-designed cuboid construction that packs every weapon into a deceptively large space, with the emphasis falling squarely on the all-consuming power of the BFG10K. This sequel adds even more BFGs along with new textures, Quad Damage and a special camping spot. COCONUT MONKEY'S RAILGUN ALLEY Designed to showcase the combined precision and power of Quake II's lethal Railgun, Coconut Monkey's Railgun Alley is a true "corridor of power". An elongated avenue of pure death, Railgun Alley allows gamers with a steady aim to clock up as many as 60 kills in a single minute, and pull off amazing multiple kill shots. "I am fascinated by Railgun Alley's protagonists," says Coconut Monkey. "As you can see while playing, Railgun Alley has no doors, windows or teleport points. So the question arises, how did these characters get here? And perhaps more importantly, what motivates them to act?" COCONUT MONKEY'S GLUG! "Glug! was designed to highlight the fragility of human life and the idea that all men, truly, are created equal," says Coconut Monkey of his underwater masterpiece. "Here, no matter how good your Quake II skills may be, no-one can survive more than a minute because there is no air to breathe. However, there is a rebreather hidden at a secret point in the level, giving some players the chance to become slightly more "equal" than others! I think this level will strike a special chord with gamers." COCONUT MONKEY'S FISH IN A BARREL Below, an inescapable pit where the doomed reside. High above, a perfect camping point suspended atop an unscalable pole. Up there, a single player lobs grenades down into the "barrel" as the "fish" below struggle to survive. But maybe... just maybe... if one of the "fish" can grab that single rocket launcher and knock the "fisherman" from his perch, they will earn their chance to respawn in his place. Perhaps the most innovative of all Coconut Monkey's levels, Fish In A Barrel is sure to revolutionize the way people view the Quake II experience forever. COCONUT MONKEY'S COLUMN WARS Jutting from a deadly sea of lava, columns barely wide enough to stand on support the precarious players in this particularly unfair and injust level. Here, a single shot can send you tumbling to your molten demise. "Tapestry of Injustice is a statement, a statement about how life is not always fair, and how bad things happen to good people. And I think Column Wars comes closest to illustrating the point I'm trying to make. Play it and I think you'll understand." Coconut Monkey's Tapestry of Injustice will be available to download free from the Coconut Monkey Studios Store at www.pcgamer.com the week beginning Monday 16th February 1998.
