Nightmares of Loki is an older version of the recently titled Loki's Realm.
Which will later be available@dldomain.com/jerry/Absinthe or muzakfiend.com
This version is being rereleased because it is old school and has no higher
requirements such as new source ports, etc. Please let me know what levels
you liked/hated if you decide to play a lot of this game but be warned that
this game is long and puzzling. you will need good memory or at least luck.

Description             : Nightmares of Loki is a cryptic hallucinagenic Nightmare.
                          This version contains 3 episodes and level starts to the 4th
                          This game was started in 1995 under the name 'doom legacy'
                          After a source port was discovered with the same name,
                          it has been renamed in 1999 to 'Nightmares of Loki'
                          The story is little to nothing but the levels are the focus.
                          These levels are HUGE and they'll piss you off, so SAVEGAME!
                          works great in zdoom, 2 levels crash in jdoom. 
                          made for the original 'Ultimate Doom' v1.9

===========================================================================
Base                    : New levels from scratch
Build Time              : 5 Years as of 1999, as of 2003, eight years. 
Editor(s) used          : DEU&WinDEU, DeHackEd, WinTex, Psp356&7, Windows Paintbrush & Notepad
Known Bugs              : I'm sure there are quite a few, i'm only human, although i shouldn't
                          have an excuse for working on this damn wad for so long, hehe. just
                          so you know, i made usually a page or two (college ruled paper too)
                          checklists for each level in the first episode thus far of bugs, fixes,
                          and enhancements needed, so this really isn't the wad to send bug
                          reports in for. yes i am aware, the first level looks like a ripoff of
                          the hexen TPs. that area along with almost all the other main areas
                          that access the sublevels, are destined to change, if not already.

May Not Run With...     : e2m3 and e3m3 crash on jdoom source port, being worked on for later

* The Future of Loki's Realm *
===========================================================================
Right now, 6 episodes are planned with 6 to 7 levels a piece. also 39 levels
for a quake conversion are planned, and also a 30 level doom2 wad. but most
likely, only one of these can be used for the official setup, naturally. i
have a huge bunder with dividers set up for all different things like
levels, the plot, to do lists, enemy changes, modelling work, media vault
sheets for business card cds full of shit, etc, and still i'm nearly clueless.
.-.
i will have all new hi-res textures to replace each and every texture in the
original doom2wad, (until i figure out how to edit the textures lump in one
second's time)
.-.
i have planned on new models, i'm downloading 3d studio max right now and i
have an md2 exporting tool, a lot of free downloaded models i'm going to
hack around with, and different tints and ideas for the already included
doomsday/abbs md2 models for jdoom.
.-.
I have 6 13-minute MP3s each with 3 songs blended together i created almost
instantaneously that all bleed with the theme of the levels they represent,
though i plan on shortening them to all be the same length,be it 5,8,10 mins
.-.
i have AT LEAST 20 seperate game folders with 20 different versions of
Loki's Realm in progress, i need to obviously get them all to one but
one thing i'm doing is releasing independant levels, with just the textures
they need in each zip to be placed virtually into the /Auto folder of the 
main Loki's Realm zip. 6 different Chapter zips might be used and loaded
from a VB program that has the Loki's Realm movie i've half created last 
year. this is most likely what will happen, 6 chapters with their own
plots falling into the backbone of the main plot, details @Absinthe Website
.-.
Be sure to check on the news from time to time and let me know what you want
by reviewing some levels if you're that kind or bored. it would make my day!
