Release date          : 7-20-96

Note 1                : These two wads are DEATHMATCH, for the
                       newer versions  of DOOM 2.............
                       They will not work with Doom 1, or
                       The Ultimate Doom.....................

Note 2                : TWO wad files are included in 01phbwar.zip

                       01phbwar.wad, two players, (four can also

                       02phbwar.wad, four players, (two can also
                       play). Similar to 01phbwar.wad, but larger,

Description           : DEATHMATCH, 2 to 4 players. - Easy to
                       identify exit. Two highth levels to
                       fight on simultaneously, (frag fest!).
                       Very loosely, based on the original
                       Phobos Anomly; but highly improved with
                       many, many, extras!. All weapons with
                       lots of ammo are available, depending on
                       skill lvel selected. Many secret rooms,
                       teleporters, hidden pannels, drop down
                       floor, invisible walls (the hidden panels
                       and switches -Do Not Have- mis-aligned
                       textures, and are difficult to find by
                       design... :)

                       This wad is set up like a war zone,
                       many locations to snipe from, but all
                       have an entrance and an exit to dis-
                       courage camping out!

                       The BFG and Plasma gun are harder to
                       get, with considerable risk involved.
                       On skill level (1-2), which only has
                       shotguns, chainsaws and the chaingun,
                       .....the chaingun is difficult to get.

                       The backpack is available on all skill
                       levels, and is also difficult to find
                       and get.

Credits               : id software for the best game ever!;

                       And to John Braun for testing and the
                       encouragement to keep building wads.
                       Thanks John, for many good ideas too!!!

Equipment used        : Wads were built and play tested on
                       386, 33's, and they played at above

Known Bugs            : None

=================================================================

This is my challange to everyone on the Internet
and anyone else who reads this text file.-----

In order to promote better wad files,-

(ever downloaded one that just don't work at all, or runs
so slow its like playing in peanut butter, or it has so
many missaligned textures, or worst yet, the same texture
through-out the wad,.... that it makes you want to puke!)

I offer the following:

(Not a new idea; I've heard of others doing the same.)

1. Use this wad as a base to build your own wad, (I
  encourage you to to so; Don't even ask me!; just
  change it, - anyway you want. Distribute it any-
  where and everywhere, and in any format you want,
  for profit or for free!. And also, I challange all
  other wad authors to do the same!, (after all,
  the majority of us don,t get paid for making wads
  anyway!; so not letting anyone use your wad as a
  base, is really just an ego trip;---Isn't it? !!!).
  ...............Too Bad--So Sad!!..................
  At least beginners would have a good place to start;
  then mabe we won't have to wade through as many bad
  wads, to find the good ones! This concept should
  eventually make all the wads offered, on the Net,
  better.

2. After you have completed your new wad, (using mine
  as a base), put your name on it, take full credit
  for it! -You don't need to mention my name anywhere,
  (but I would be happy if you did so, in your text
  file; but it's not manditory!). Just remember, your
  new wad will have YOUR NAME on it, so just make sure
  its better than mine!, or else what's the point!!!!!

3. If you want different weapons placement or different
  monsters, in different places, I would encourage you
  to download ED209, (probably the easiest wad editor
  to use, to change, weapons, monsters and textures).
  (You can do most of the weapons and monster changes
  in less than 5 minutes!). - If you noticed, I also
  used a program called RMB, and another called Zennode.
  RMB and Zennode are not needed to build or change wads,
  they just help to speed up the wad a little. --- All
  of these fine programs are available, as Shareware,
  many places on the Net.

4. If your wad has any bugs, even just a small one,
  that's hard to find, even if your looking for a
  mistake, then, don't put it on the Net!. Fix it
  first, or get some help to fix it, or delete it!!!.
  People can forgive you for making boring wads once
  in a while, but not defective, ugly, trash. (I go
  over my wads in great detail before releasing them;
  we also play test em for weeks, sometimes months,
  working on the layout, weapons and monsters, ect.

  I would be totally ashamed of some of the garbage
  that's on the Net, if my name was attached to it.

  You have to be a perfectionist, to produce even
  a boring wad that works good, without bugs; even
  a bad wad takes a little time and effort to make,
  so why go to all the time and trouble...........
  to produce garbage!!!!
