Immortal.TXT ================================================================ Title : Immortal Date Finished : 18th August 1999 Filename : immortal.wad Author : Richard J. Sham Email Address : rjsams@stargate.net (see note) : richlynn@greenville.infi.net (see note) Note: I'm moving so please send any comments or lmps to both addresses. Other levels by author : Baby-1, Beyond-1, Bigcity, Asylum Game : Doom2 1.9 Description : The design of these wads spans three or four time periods thus the name Immortal. It also reflects the game itself. Many changes have occured and we have Quake, Boom, Xdoom and Zdoom to name a few. Some of them include nice enhancements but for me nothing matches the feel and play of the original game. These levels are designed for all skill levels but they are not easy. UV is better left to the advanced players. All three skill levels present a good challenge and all are fun to play. I recorded each level in UV as part of playtesting. It would be great to see them all recorded as fast as possible. If done I'm sure John Blackburn would post them on his Home Page. Or perhaps the fastest recording of each level by different people! PLease record, we'll post the fastest UV lmps. The textures are beautiful and reflect what had to be a great amount of work on the part of the Gothic Crew. One of the wads is a showcase for all of the stained glass and was built especially for my wife, as was Camelot. Additional Credits to : My son (Rich) for his encouragement. My friends Steve and Byarr for their encouragement. My friend John Blackburn for all his help and support. He encouraged me to build this megawad. He also created the title page and the deh patch to add the map titles and playtested and recorded every map in Grandmaster style! John is a good friend and a great player. He has a great Doom/2 Home Page at: http://www.john333.demon.co.uk/index.htm Many thanks to the Gothic Crew for the textures. Jens Hykkelbjerg for his RMB. Olivier Montanuy for his Wintex. Bill Neisius for Dmaud Digital Expressions for Midi2Mus. Igor Obraztsov for his Mustool. Thanks to all!
