PLEASE tell me WHICH REoL TOUGH level you need help in! I have TEN at the moment, and I may confuse one with the other! If you have AOL, read about the REoL TOUGH DOOM LEVEL HELPLINE above. PLEASE SEND APROPRIATE MAIL TO THE APROPRIATE PERSON(S)! HOWEVER, if you have SOFTWARE CREATIONS BBS access, but you have no AOL or INTERNET access, I will relay your questions about the music, documentation, or the actual level construction, and of course, a week after distribuiton, help on these levels. ***** CURIOCITY CHECK ***** I upload my levels on America On-Line (AOL), Software Creations BBS, and Real Time BBS. These levels spread. I'm always curious as to where they end up! IMPORTANT!: DOOM III: Quayle is President! <-- Pray this doesn't happen. PS: If you have any suggestions for the next REoL TOUGH levels, contact me! I can't change the graphics (SOB!), and someone else does the music (NO RAP, dance , hip-hop , or R&B please. It doesn't fit in DOOM). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This game can be played in all modes. In 1 or multi-player games, you'll start out in a room with cages holding Barrons. To "escape", hit the switch in front of you. The bad thing about this level is all those barrons! In Deathmatch, you are in separate rooms, but mostly close to each other. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOW TO PLAY THE NEW LEVEL At the DOOM prompt, type: DOOM -FILE FIFFY6.WAD You can choose the level of difficulty you want. Any way you set it, it's going to be an uphill battle big time! CPU REQUIREMENTS: You will need a 486 pc of at least 20MHz for flawless scrooling (mostly). A 386 of 33MHz or faster will also do a great job! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- STORY: It was a nice, sunny day on the moon of Phobos. You decide to take a nature walk around the terrain, when you come across a weird (yet interesting) structure about two miles away. Since you walk the same route practically every day, you swore that that building was not there before. You decide to trailblaze (in the treeless plains, don't get lost!) towards this structure. You are almost there. You decide to stop for a moment and look at the building, stretching across the hill it was sitting on, and you say to yourself: "That sucker is HUGE!" You walk closer towards the structure, and you can finally see some detail on the structure. "Something just does not seem right" you say to yourself. You get an eerie feeling in your stomach, but after puking you brains out on that bottled Mexican water you drank an hour ago, you still press onwards, towards the ominous superstructure. You are getting very close now. You can read a sign up ahead. About 1/4 mile from the building, the sign reads "Enter at your own risk". You heard noises coming from the structure, but as you step onto a dry twig, all the noise in that direction came to a halt. You must have fig- ured that it was the U.S. Government still trying to hide some top secret space craft like some morons in the desert who think you do not know what they are hiding. You decide to start running towards the superstructure, and you are very close. Suddenly, something weird happens. A green puff of smoke appears all around you, accompanied by a metallic sound. Once the noise and green smog around you diminished, you realized you were teleported INSIDE the secret structure, and now you are inside the "forbidden teritory" of Hell's new tenement for all the bad boys from Hell, The Barrons, the Cacodaemons, and, well, more Barrons! Too many Barrons! Of course, a few weaklings are here as well (how did they get to work in here?). Well, it looks like you have yet another tough mission ahead of you. All I can say is, GO GET 'EM! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLAYING TIPS: (1) GRAB THAT SHOTGUN! You can't survive without at least a shotgun! (2) This game has a few "puzzles" to solve. This may require you to search the entire level (depending on where you go) to find certain doors and switches. Some doors require switches to open them. ALWAYS look around when searching for switches! Some are nearly impossible to find because they are in a dark room, so look carefully for them! (3) When you release Barrons, try to get them in one of the bigger rooms, or on a long (and at least a semi-wide) bridge, or walkway. There is one semi-big room you'll find full of ammo, but I don't think you want to fight in there. (4) Beam me up Scotty! (5) SECRETS ARE SECRET: As usual, with the exception of the ones in plain sight (since REoL TOUGH: The Pit), the remainder of the secrets are not visible on the map, even with the all-map cheat code! It just goes to show you that cheating is not fair! ONE IS EXTREMELY HUGE! (6) CAGES: There are Cacodaemons waiting for you behind the cages (as well as a few Barrons in others). Try to find WHERE to stand and shoot them to kingdom come! (7) The room with many crates in it holds suprises galore! (8) WIN $2,000,000 CASH! Just write to Pan Am's new sweepstakes offer! (9) The best place to fight Barrons? How about OUTSIDE? Some will be out there, but once those are dead, you can lead the others outside (if you only want to wait forever for them to follow you). (10) Speaking of fighting outside, keep an eye out behind you OFTEN, since Barron(s) love to sneak up from behind! (11) It's best to shoot Barrons on the balconies from far away (but not too far). Some of them again, can be lured outside. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Known "Boo-boo's": (1) TRAPPED ON STAIRWELL: The stairwell in front of you, when you start, has an odd, turning fashion to it, so enemies like Barrons get stuck at ceartain points. WHAT AN ADVANTAGE! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- OTHER REoL TOUGH ADVENTURES FOR DOOM! Hell On Earth interpretation Daemons from hell are atop Mt.
