- Descent II Add-On Mission
-
- Crazy Level 7 (Retro-Bution)
-
- **Description**
-
- This level is one of a set of missions designed by me (Luke Schneider)
- for high quality anarchy play in Descent II. All future anarchy levels
- of my design will be released under the Crazy label. Not only will
- this relieve some of my stress of having to think of a cool name for
- every level I make (actually, they will have subtitles, like
- "Hydrophobia"), but it will also allow Descent II players everywhere
- to immediately recognize my levels. Hopefully that will be a good
- thing.
-
- As with the Panic Levels by Parallax, I am releasing one level per
- week. This isn't as hard as it sounds, as each level only requires
- about 8 hours of work (plus some playtesting). The strategy for each
- level will vary quite a bit as well as the texture themes.
-
- This weeks' selection
- **Retro-Bution**
-
- Remember the glory days of Descent I, back when men were men and you
- could tell a good pilot by his laser shooting skills, not his ability
- to hit the missile button to fire an Earthshaker? Well they're back.
- Almost. The biggest weapon is one lowly Smart Missile. Other than
- the three new weaker missile types and a few super lasers (yet no
- quad laser), this level contains simple Descent I weapons. An ideal
- dogfight area lies in the lower quarters while the top level provides
- classic hit and run fighting action. A classic guerilla warfare has
- been known to break out between players in the two different
- sections.
-
- =Legal Jargon=
- Actually I don't know the proper legal terms, but in short: You may
- distribute this level in its entire form given you include this .TXT
- file. Please do not modify this level for redistribution. Also, you
- may not use this level for any commercial purposes without my express
- written consent (I love that phrase).
-
- =The Author (Luke Schneider)=
- This is my 7th completed Descent II level. I have also created 12
- Descent levels. For this level I used Devil 1.02 for the cube
- structure and Devil 2.1f for adding everything else.
