Description             : Here it is Death Match fans, 27
                          straight DooM 1 Death Match levels 
                          for your bloody enjoyment.  
                          Some levels are by yours truly, but 
                          most are just DM wads that I think 
                          are fun. This entire wad will give 
                          you a super DM marathon that can 
                          go on for hours.

                          Most of the exits have been changed
                          to make it more difficult to end a
                          level quickly.  Some exits require 
                          co-op between combatants so you may
                          want to play with the TIMER switch
                          (ex. -timer 15) to enable your match
                          to go on to the next level 
                          automatically.  I suggest you use 
                          Monsters (no respawn), skill level 1, 
                          and Alt-Death Match for a fun 
                          frag-fest.  Generally the higher the
                          skill level the more monsters you will
                          meet and less health you will find.
                          Some levels have no monsters.

                          NOTE: To play the secret levels you 
                          must hit the exit switches in the 
                          following levels...
                          
                          Episode 1 - 100% Death (E1M3)
                          Episode 2 - Ledges3 (E2M5)
                          Episode 3 - Minideth (E3M6)
                          
                          The timer parameter will by-pass them 
                          and you will only play 8 levels in 
                          that case.  The exits on these levels 
                          have easy access.  During play of 
                          these levels, hit the exit switch 
                          when you're ready to go to the secret 
                          level.  From then on, you may use the 
                          exit or timer.
