- Title : Purgatory
- Filename : dmpurge.wad
- Author : James Wilson (aka Shade)
- Email Address : Cserve: 73651,2312
-
- Description : Your trapped on that infernal moon base as usual.
- You've gotten to the point where you take out most
- everything that comes at you without blinking.
- You've become careless. You round a corner and
- meet a hail of fire and gunshot, and you're dead.
- You wake in a dark hole, awaiting the time
- when the denizens of hell will come and take you
- away for a permanent more-than-luke-warm bath of
- fire. BUT HEY! Just because you're dead doesn't
- mean that you can't still kick butt! After all,
- going to hell for real didn't take away your
- shotgun (and they say you can't take it with you).
- You scrounge your way out of the dark hole and see
- a fortress in the distance. If you can reach it,
- then you can reclaim your lost soul from it's round
- blue container and free yourself from Purgatory.

- Level notes : This is my sixth Doom level created from scratch.
- It was primarily developed on registered DOOM
- version 1.666. There ARE two levels in the wad,
- but the first one is short, and more of an intro
- to the second level. The main level is large! I
- kept the number of decorative objects (lamps, trees,
- and such) to a minimum to facilitate a fast wad, but
- those of you with slower computers may have
- problems with it slowing down. YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE
- TO SAVE YOUR GAME IF YOU ARE USING DOOM VERSION 1.2,
- but you can save it with 1.666.
-
- How do I play the damn
- thing? : To those of you who have never played a Doom
- add-on level congratulations for entering a
- group so cryptic that it borders on a secret
- society. I've had many people e-mail me and ask
- the very question I pose above. Simply move the
- new level (the .wad file) to your Doom directory
- and type the following:
-
- "doom -file dmpurge.wad" (or whatever the level's
- name is)
-
- This tells Doom to seek out the .wad file indicated
- for new and nifty information to update the
- original Doom.wad with. You will receive a warning
- that you are playing on a modified version of Doom,
- but ignore this message as the .wad files do not
- permanently alter Doom, and everything will go
- back to normal once you quit (but it is always a
- good idea to back stuff up just in case). I have
- included a .bat file to expediate this whole process.
-
- HELLO? : If you like this level, let me know. If you hate
- it, let me know why.
