all (except a little hammer's blow on your head!).
The Areas : There are Four areas linked together by
teleporters and filled of secrets.
Hints : Important walls/doors can only be opened by visiting
all the parts of this level otherwise you won't be

* Misc Notes *
Please DELETE the old 4-ACES.WAD (V1.0a) and use this version instead!.
The first version of Heretic had several bad bugs which prevented the
player to play in solo (the savegame buffer overrun!). Now, it is fixed and
you can save your current game without any return to DOS. Alas, this will only
work with the 1.2 version of Heretic (it authorizes a high number of
objects and monsters; which the first version did not.).
You should upgrade your current Heretic game to the V1.2 (the patch can be
found at FTP.IDSOFTWARE.COM). And all should work fine!
A lot of people told me that it was too hard... Well, now, I did set the
difficulty and you can choose the skill level that you want. There are
a lot of ammos, so it should be quite easy to terminate the level.
Thanks for playing this wad! And don't forget to download and try my other
deathmatch wads!!!
