========================================================================= Title : ³²³ TriO 9 DeathMatch for DooM II ³²³ Filename : TRIO_9.WAD Version : 1.0 - 17/2/96 WAD type : PWAD Compiler : Dean Stretton Email Address : dean@pcug.org.au Misc. Compiler Info : Nah, forget it... Description : TriO 9... Bring your friends along to Camp TriO - the ultimate DeathMatch retreat! In this scenic alpine setting, you'll experience terror and exhilaration previously unknown! Features: * Support for DM v1/2, with 2-4 players! * 25 new SFX, including ALL weapons * New music for ALL levels * New graphic resources * Three BRILLIANT levels This is the first multi-function TriO! With added support for DM v1.0 and multiplayer games, TriO 9 is the most versatile TriO to date. TriO 9 is also the most extensively playtested instalment so far - so its appeal should stretch far and wide... MAP01 is Point Blank #3, by Denis M”ller. This is a fast-paced level with a hint of strategy. SS's will dominate, but the energy weapons can prove a powerful addition. MAP02 is 6Skuls02 MAP 7, by Marin Gazzari. Sensational! The level is complex yet easy to navigate, and allows short-term (ie split second) strategy for those who know the level intimately. Stylish and rewarding. MAP03 is Mancer01, by Cole Savage. This level has an excellent 'flow', due to virtually all rooms having two entrances/exits. Bigger weapons take a little more time to pick up, but are usually worth the trouble.
