*******************************************************************************
*                   Icarus Grandmaster Collection                             *
*                   by Roger Moraga and Mike Reid                             *
*******************************************************************************
   This is a grandmaster collection(fast monsters) of Icarus: Alien Vanguard.
The goal was to do each Icarus level on Ultra-violence with -fast parameter
with 100% kills 'n' secret. And, yes, we managed to do it.
   To play a demo, simply type this command:
   ICFPLAY xx {return}
   Where xx is the level number.  Levels under 10 need to have a zero in
front of them.
   YOU MUST HAVE ICARUS: ALIEN VANGUARD BY TEAM TNT TO RUN THIS
   If you do not, get it at http://www.teamtnt.com

       Well, we finally made it to the end of a 3-4 month lmp collection. This
is the first collection I've ever done for levels that aren't my own, and after
this I don't think I'll do another collection.  My lmps are different from
Roger's because I usually go on the offense, rather than defense. Roger's the
kind of guy that likes to duck behind a corner while monsters duke it out. I
would go out and beat them to death with the beserk. :)
       Top three Icarus levels:
       Map28: Excavations
       Map29: Brutality
       Map32: Prestidigition

       So, here it is (at least!). A complete collection of Icarus levels
on UV with -fast. When I sent Mike a -fast LMP of his level "Mine Facility"
(BTW, it's a great WAD!), he told me if I'd like to make this collection with
him. "Sure!" I said, and downloaded the WAD from ftp.cdrom.com. I blazed
trough the levels and in just about five hours I E-mailed him saying some
like "I hate this! The levels are too damn long!!" Anyway, I started the
recordings, and soon I found out I was wrong. Yeah, there are some long
levels (and some too "damn" long), but they are well designed and some of
them really fun. You'll recognize my LMPs because I always try to make the
monsters fight against each other (It's so COOL => Look at level 17), and
because I get lost easily.

       About me:
       I'm a 20 years old Biology student who started playing DOOM not a
very long time ago, with an old 386sx/20 and Keyboard only.
       Until this year, I've played with keyboard only, but this year I
decided to use my trackball too. These are the settings:
       -Keys:
        Left/right: Strafe left/right.
        Up/down: Forward/backward.
        Ctrl: Speed up (always pressed).
       -Trackball: More than Maximum (nearly) sensivity.
        Left button: Fire.
        Right button: Err... (after going to Setup) Strafe on (never used)
        Right button double-click: Use.
       And the system I use: P100, 32 Mb RAM, 1,2 Gb HD, 12x CD-ROM,
Logitech Trackball, Sound Blaster 2.0 (8-bit, mono sound... Yuk!).

       What else can I say? I love DOOM!! ;-)
