Misc Author Info: I am a Doom fan. Prior to Feb. 1, 1996 I had no
means of reaching other people with a computer.
In other words, I have been unable to play
multi-player Doom. Now I can share my pwads as
well as find comrades-in-arms or fragbait.
I also plan to create at least three more levels
and string them together with this wad. In the
meantime, any feedback would be greatly
appreciated.
Description: P.M. Six equals my initals plus six levels. Below
are brief descriptions of each level.
MAP15 - "Demon Pyramid" A stepped pyramid is at the
north end of a huge outdoor area. Two sniper ledges
flank the pyramid. South of this outdoor area is a
winding maze of overgrown vines. Separating the
maze and pyramid is a fissure whose bottom is filled
with lava. If you fall in, well... go figure. This
is the first level I made.
MAP18 - "Labyrinth" This level is a very large
maze with a tiny shrine at its core. You have many
winding passages. There are few dead ends, but it
is easy to run circles. Use your auto-map
frequently.
MAP19 - "Death Camp" The name of this level speaks
for itself. This area has several places where you
can hose down dozens of troopers. These places
include: a trench, a couple jail cells, and a
mess hall.
MAP20 - "Demon Hotel" Welcome to their lavish hotel.
After all, even cyberdemons coming out of the
gateway from hell need a place to stay. This hotel
contains nearly 150 rockets. For everyone
who plays deathmatch, plenty of chainguns surround
the building. This level is fairly brief and
relatively easy... unless you want to kill the one
or two cyberdemons residing in the building.
Beware of the spider.
MAP21 - "Dark Circuit" As the name implies, you will
enter a completely dark area and do some blind
fighting (or running!) You start in the middle
of a circular arena. Many former humans and weapons
surround you. Outside this area is dark and
invisible to your area map. This dark curcuit
contains several shotgun sargeants, specters, and
barrels. This level is simple, brief, but by no
means easy on UV.
MAP22 - "Underworld" The best description that
I can think of for this level is that of fleshy
wasteland connected by rocky strobe light tunnels.
Can you navigate through the teleporter maze without
going nuts? A very nasty surprise awaits the unwary
near the exit.
Each level has a two-player cooperative exit. In
other words, the single player exit is sealed off
in multiplayer, and you need the help of one other
player in order to exit the level.
Also, some levels are easier than others. Level 19
is probably the easiest of the five. Level 18 maybe
the toughest. Levels 19 and 20 are beatable on any
difficulty, even on Nightmare. You will NOT survive
the other levels on Nightmare ...unless you are a
gaming god! Either you will be gunned down or eaten
alive, and the monsters just keep coming....
PM6.WAD is the Doom][ version of PM7.WAD.

MAP21 - One slight HOM that I cannot get rid of
without a major change in the level's
design. It occasionally appears if you
stand on the south lift while facing
north. (I tried Warm and BSP. The
location of the HOM that won't die
depends on the node builder used.)
MAP22 - None
(I have not tested these levels on other machines.
I use a Pentium-100 with 16Mb Ram. Some levels
may slow down some machines. Again, feedback
would be very helpful.)
