                          KILLME1.WAD
                          KILLME2.WAD
                          KILLME3.WAD (what you have now)
                          WAREHOUS.WAD (also coming very soon)

Description             : After cleaning out the demons and zombies in the first 
                          areas (KILLME1, KILLME2), you figure the base is safe
                          and life will go back to normal.  However, when you try
                          to teleport back to the pickup zone, you find yourself
                          teleported to another planet.   Now you have to proceed
                          TO THE SURFACE to finish things off (as a good marine
                          should!).  As in KILLME1 and KILLME2, killing like
                          crazy now begins until you want it to stop or you kill
                          the mastermind behind all this  :-) ).

Additional credits to   : My wife for letting me spend all the time I did on
                          this, my son for testing, and coffee, lots of coffee
                          ;-)

* More info on the levels *

This is part of a set of three complete levels which are being released one
mission at a time as single E*M* WADS.  We want feedback!

E1M*  Mad as Hell (KILLME1.WAD)
E2M*  Underground (a misnomer, you see daylight quite often - KILLME2.WAD)
E3M*  To the Surface (again, a misnomer, you are below ground quite often -
      KILLME3.WAD)

To start this WAD and see the demo, type "doom -file killme3.wad" once you are
in the DOOM directory and let the demos run.

This is DOOM the old fashioned way, the way I still like to play it; alone.  I
have nothing against deathmatch and co-op but there are now so many DM
levels out there, it is sometimes really hard to find levels designed to play
solo.  Hopefully, this will give other people a chance to play it their favourite
way too and may bring back some of the fun we all experienced when we first
played DOOM.  This WAD will not require any changes to your original WAD
level; it will not change the original configuration of your DOOM.WAD or INI
files.  Now, your rewards for reading all this; look for candles, they usually
mean a secret door (or you just let something loose from somewhere), and, all
levels have some areas marked as secret, even if they're no secret at all (If you
finish a level and the "secret" doesn't read 100%, you know you missed
something!).

* Copyright / Permissions *

Authors MAY use this level as a base to build additional levels providing you
give me credit for the base level.  

You MAY distribute this WAD, provided you include this file, with no
modifications.  You may distribute this file in any electronic format (BBS,
Diskette, CD, etc) as long as you include this file intact.
