Review                  : It looks cool. I like it.

Primary purpose         : Deathmatch

Title                   : MEGADETH      Version 2.4a
                         (updated to DooM v. 1.9)
Filename                : MEGADETH.WAD laser.wad mega.deh MEGANUTZ.WAD
                         STARBASE.WAD KHOON.WAD DETHSTAR.WAD
Release date            : October / November 1994
Author                  : Jaswant S. Hayre  <a.k.a. BLADE>
Location                : Kent, UK
Email Address           : CompuServe 100070,3233
Note by the uploader    : MEGADETH.WAD came originally with with files,
                         that added laser sight graphics and altered the
                         gameplay (MegaViolence Mode). These files worked
                         only with v. 1.2 of DooM and are included in this
                         upload to /idgames in dmmewa.zip. They have been
                         converted to work with v. 1.9 and added to this
                         package as laser.wad (laser sights) and mega.deh
                         (MegaViolence Mode).
                         The author created also some other WAD's, that
                         have been intended to be played with these game
                         changes. Because of that, they have been included
                         in this release by the uploader.

Description             : * mega.deh *
                         In mega.deh is the MegaViolence mode. If you
                         use plain vanilla doom, you can load it with
                         dehacked (it's stored at utils/exe_edit/dhe31.zip
                         in the /idgames -archives, see list of mirrors at
                         the end of this file) into your doom.exe. If you
                         use an advanced source-port, you can load it with
                         the -deh -parameter.
                         [Please read MEGADETH.TXT in megad24a.zip for
                         detailed description of the MegaViolence Mode.]

                         * laser.wad *
                         Laser-sight graphics for weapons.
                         Newer source ports shouldn't have problems with
                         loading this graphics-replacement in combination
                         with the level-wads in this release.
                         But if you use plain vanilla doom, you should get
                         the latest version of DEUSF (
                         /utils/graphics_edit/deutex/deutex44.zip in the
                         /idgames -archives) and join them. If you do it
                         with MEGADETH.WAD, the command is:
                         DEUSF -join MEGADETH.WAD laser.wad  (MEGADETH.WAD
                         now contains both wads).
                         Typing:
                         -append MEGADETH.WAD
                         will append the sprites & flats of Doom to that
                         WAD.
                         This will work also with the other level-wads in
                         this package. Again: Most newer source-ports
                         don't require this procedure.

                         #################################################
                         # THIS COUNTS FOR ALL THE FOLLOWING LEVEL-WADS: #
                         # Please use mega.deh and laser.wad instead of  #
                         # the outdated 1.2-only addon-files!            #
                         #################################################

                         * MEGADETH.WAD *
                         The ultimate DeathMatch level.
                         This level is specifically designed for
                         DEATHMATCH play.
                         It comprises 4 zones: the ATRIUM (centre); JSH
                         ZONE (East); ARENA (West); and the WARP ZONE
                         (North). There are also two SECRET ROOMS.
                         Each zone has its own theme, strategy and
                         secrets. Note that the skill levels (1-5) also
                         have a major effect on the strategies.
                         MEGADETH is designed to be played with monsters
                         present.
                         MEGADETH incorporates the use of enhanced
                         weapons.
                         Laser sights and MegaViolence mode are
                         independently switchable (see mega.deh and
                         laser.wad).
                         [Please read MEGADETH.TXT in megad24a.zip for
                         detailed background story and gameplay hints.]

                         * KHOON.WAD *
                         KHOON is the Punjabi/Hindi version of MEGADETH
                         (sounds in that language).
                         Originally published in DMKHOO.ZIP.
                         [Please read KHOON.TXT.]

                         * MEGANUTZ.WAD *
                         Another version of MEGADETH.WAD. Originally
                         published in DMNUTZ.ZIP.
                         [Please read MEGANUTZ.TXT.]

                         * DETHSTAR.WAD *
                         DETHSTAR      Version 1.1
                         It's a modified version of WARZONE4.WAD by
                         David M. Lewis. It is E1M4 in WARZONE0.WAD.
                         Both can be downloaded from the /idgames-archives
                         here: /levels/doom/deathmatch/v-z/warzone.zip .
                         [Please read DETHSTAR.TXT.]

                         * STARBASE.WAD *
                         STARBASE      Version 1.1
                         - A modified version of SPACE.WAD by Chris Badger.
                         The original, that works properly only with DooM
                         v. 1.2, can be downloaded here:
                         /levels/doom/deathmatch/d-f/dmspace.zip
                         - A bugfixed version, that works properly with DooM
                         v. 1.9 can be found here:
                         levels/doom/d-f/dmspc-fx.zip
                         The bug fix was made by Sean Hawthorne.
                         - That 1.2-only bug was also in the MEGADETH-
                         version, STARBASE.WAD. It was solved by the
                         uploader (FunDuke). The original version is
                         stored in starbold.zip.
                         [Please read STARBASE.TXT.]
