** ** NOTE: Play this level with a source port such as ZDooM (on which it has ** been thoroughly play-tested). With DOOM2.EXE it will load up looking horrible, ** and may eventually crash with vis_plane errors. If you use ZDooM, please ** disable (or not use) the jump feature, as the level was not designed to ** allow jumping. ** ================================================================ Title : Fear Island Filename : FEAR_ISL.WAD Author : Gurkha Boy Email Address : gurkha_boy@yahoo.com Other work from author : Pugilist.wad, a 3-level fist-only series set in WWII. It can be found in the ports directory of ftp.cdrom.com Misc. Author Info : Been playing DooM for 5 years, now. Love the newer games too, but keep going back to DooM. Description : You begin on the marbled rooftop of an island fortress. Work your way down two terraced levels, battling all your favorite foes. Note: although the chainsaw & berserk pack are sources of limitless entertainment, they usually serve a dual purpose, (i.e., they allow you to conserve ammo). Remember this. Although the architecture is not terribly detailed, the texture alignment is near perfect. Additional Credits to : Ian W., the maker of an excellent TC called Herian2. Get it! His work inspired me to try my hand at level design and editing. His continued encouragement and technical advice have been invaluable in helping me build DooM levels. Id software, without whom one of these text files wouldn't be complete. ================================================================ * Play Information * Engine : ZDooM (recommended) or other port that allows greater detail than DooM Map Number : MAP22 Single Player : Yes Cooperative 2-4 Player : No Deathmatch 2-4 Player : No Difficulty Settings : Yes New Sounds : No New Graphics : No New Music : No Demos Replaced : No SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS : If you can run ZDooM you should not have a problem running this level. * Construction * Base : New levels from scratch (and I mean scratch -- every linedef, every sector, every node).

Known Bugs : None that I could find. Source port notes : This level was designed for ZDooM, but other source ports may work just as well. Please do not use the jump feature of ZDooM, as this would be cheating. * Copyright / Permissions * Authors may use this level as a base to build additional levels.
