=========================================================================== Review : Great design. Let's get some popcorn. I like it. =========================================================================== Primary purpose : Single+Coop play / Deathmatch =========================================================================== Title : Theatre of Doom Filename : THEATRE.WAD Release date : 07/05/94 MM/DD/YY (Timestamp of the textfile) Author : James Wilson (aka Shade) Email Address : Cserve: 73651,2312 Other Files By Author : dmpurge.wad (in dmpurge.zip); dm2purge.wad (in dm2purge.zip); FULLCHUB.WAD (in dmfull.zip), DEATH1.WAD (in death1.zip); FEARLESS.WAD (in fearless.zip); theatre2.wad, the DooMII-version of THEATRE.WAD (in theatre2.zip); DMKEEP.WAD (in doomkp.zip) Misc. Author Info : The author of this wad works in a movie theater, so getting the chance to wield a shotgun in one of his own design was a form of therapy for him. This is my first level. Description : All your buddies have gone to the movies and they've taken all the heavy weaponry with them! This level is designed as your average modern day movie theater, with a few twists. Run through your local cinema blasting all those annoying patrons in your way, demanding that they decrease the popcorn prices. Your buddies are in there, dead or alive. Can you find them and the weapons they brought with them? Good luck! Level notes : This level is big with lots of stuff. It will run slowly on slow computers. I tried to design it to be difficult, but not impossible, with the theory that lots of killin' is a good thing. Misc. : My original design of this level was much more complex, but I had trouble rebuilding the nodes when it got too large. I have only seen one wad file that was larger than this one (significantly) but I don't know how it was done. If anyone has any info regarding this please let me know. A PIECE OF ADVICE TO PROSPECTIVE WAD BUILDERS. You might want to keep your creative urges in check enough that you don't make your levels too big, this one gave me many headaches. =========================================================================== * What is included * New levels : 1 Sounds : No Music : No Graphics : No Dehacked/BEX Patch : No Demos : No Other : No Other files required : No * Play Information * Game : DOOM Map # : E1M1 Single Player : Designed for Cooperative 2-4 Player : Designed for (not tested) Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Designed for (not tested, but extra objects have been placed with DM in mind.)
