Description : You had no idea when you warped into the
base that you would have such a fight on your
hands - after all it was only a supply and
recreation base planetside and the scans had
showed no signs of life - not as you knew it
anyway. But within minutes your three buddies
had been iced and the ground was littered with
gore. You stepped back into the alcove to catch
your breath, knowing that the warp point out of
the place was some way away. With no more than
a pistol, hope, and your innate belief in
yourself and your ability to overcome the odds
whatever they might be, you step forward into
the unknown ...
Notes: : This WAD requires the BOOM Engine by TeamTNT.
If you try to run it under the normal DOOMII
Engine it just won't work as it should. Go to
TeamTNT's website for the BOOM Engine -
http://www.teamtnt.com/boompubl/getit.htm -
which is free and has loads of cool new features
in it, but mainly 'cos it's bug-free !! At the
time of writing TeamTNT had just released the
final version of BOOM v2.02. Get it - it's FREE!

A special thank you to Simon "Chief" Varszeghy
the project leader of Team Insanity who was
kind enough to record a terrific 100% kills demo
in 7:46... quite a feat ! Nice one Simon. Visit
the Team Insanity website at:
http://doomnation.com/insanity
for a variety of doom related stuff particularly
lots of WAD reviews. And finally ...
A particular mention for Iikka Keranen without
whom this level would never have been created.
It was Iikka who created the new graphics which
have been used almost exclusively throughout
this level. Originally created for Quake, Iikka
converted them for use with DOOM. Most of his
work is now with Quake, and you can visit his
site at www.planetquake.com/ikq/
