Other Releases : none
Misc. Developer Info : computer programmer who loves Doom and Defender
Description : The UAC dragged you out of your comfortable chair
and beamed you to an old fortress in the Alpine
foothills. The bastards at least left you with
some decent firepower. After cleaning out this
tourist trap, they'll beam you to an abandoned
UAC research facility. They figure that it's
been long enough since the Deimos teleporter
incident to redeploy it. Your next stop is their
newest toxic waste treatment station which has
somehow gotten infested a month after building it.
You wonder about that one. The last stop is
supposed to be a sprawling castle in the Balkans.
Seems that the tenants are in cahoots with the
hellspawn. Hmmm, more wondering. You grab your
shotgun and get to work...
These are the first three levels of a four-level
series. The last level has been on hold for a
while so I'm going ahead and releasing these
before they become obsolete.
Watch for DOA1-2.WAD coming soon to an FTP site
near you. And be prepared to face The Conspiracy.

* Construction *
Base : E2M4 - dd1.wad
E2M5 - dmanmly.wad
E2M6 - blahblah.wad
Build Time : 4 months (way too long!)
Editor(s) used : WadEd v1.88, WARM v1.6, RMB v2.1
Known Bugs : Occassional flash of sky when certain vertices
are viewed in line. I've seen this in many other
levels and a different nodes builder gives the
same results. Prolly a Doom bug.
Also, what I call the "long wall bug" is evident
on level E2M4. The symptom is a wall shivering
back and forth as you approach or walk along it.
Could be fixed by breaking long linedefs into
shorter ones. Didn't bother since I'm curious as
to whether future Doom ports will fix it.
May Not Run With... : Only tested on Ultimate Doom v1.9
Works great on a 486/33 (coupla slow areas tho)
===========================================================================
These levels are modified versions of the single-level wads listed below.
For reasons that remain a mystery to me, I've spent countless hours playing
with the textures, lighting, and architectural details. I'm a perfectionist.
You won't find any flaws or any texture misalignments in these levels. The
game play was also tested EXTENSIVELY to ensure that it is enjoyable and
challenging. Check the file DOA1-X.TXT for more information.
