Description : As you battled through the levels of DOOM II
the imps regrouped to a new area and built
a breeding colony. This is characterised by
being rather like a honeycomb with imps asleep
in many of the cells. They will, of course
wake up and attempt to waste you when you
finally locate it... no simple task.
Your mission is to find the honeycomb, clear
out the imps and make your way to the exit.
You will need to solve many puzzles, locate
several secrets and find not three skull keys,
but four, to reach the end of the level. Are
you up to it? If you don't believe it can be
done watch the demo which Chris recorded in UV !

A special thank you to Chris Christensen who
provided invaluable help with WinTex, gave me
the encouragement to finish this WAD off and
in the end made a significant contribution to
the design. Chris also created the opening screen,
improved the structure and gameplay of the WAD and
then recorded the UV demo ! (Pause's in the demo are
due to lighting up cigarettes or opening up beers!)

Finally, to Mike Reed, whose superb WAD of The
Hoover Dam inspired me to learn how to create
DOOM worlds - thanks Mike!

Known Bugs : Ok, here's a quote from Chris... 'Because this
is a massive, ass-kickin, pushed to the limits
level, you must do a little house-cleaning before
you save in UV mode. The savegame buffer is tight !
But hey, real men don't need no stinkin' save
game. Right !' So there !!
In fact it will save from the off, but may crash
your PC when you return to DOS if you do. Other
than this there are no known bugs of any kind.
EMail me if you find any.
