========================================================================== Title : HANDICAP TRIO (handicap.wad) 3 level DeathMatch wad for Doom II Date Finished : Mar 24, 1996 Author : Jack Valero Email Address : Internet- jval@inforamp.net CompuServe Mail- 102252,1152 Other Files By Author : the Book of Doom (illustrated e-book for game play and WAD building. See below.) Numerous wads for Doom, Doom2 and Heretic. Misc. Author Info : When I figure it out I'll let you know... Description : Don't you hate it when you always win? Don't you hate it even more when you always lose? When it comes to the truly important things in life (such as Doom) some of us are better than others. This wad tries to even the balance with a handicap for the less experienced player(s). If you play at skill levels 1 or 2, you must choose your weapon before entering the main play area. You will not find additional weapons later. The weaker player should choose a more powerful weapon than the stronger player. Experiment with weapons to find the best balance between the players. Skill level 3 plays normally. Skill levels 4/5 add monsters. You should be using the -altdeath switch so that weapons and bonuses will respawn.
