Description             : Overview:
                          The pace of action in The Pentadrome is best
                          suited for cooperative play, but once the
                          monsters are thinned down, it's a fabulous place
                          for a deathmatch.  With few dead ends and lots of
                          twists and secrets, The Pentadrome keeps you on
                          the edge of your mouse pad (and your sanity!)

                          The objective is to explore the three major
                          regions of the Pentadrome, which requires the
                          player to locate 3 key cards, and then make it to
                          the exit lift alive.

                          If you make it to the exit lift and still have a
                          load of energy... find the secret button chamber
                          (it'll be close by) that activates the showdown
                          phase of The Pentadrome.  If you have the stomach
                          for the finale, be prepared to re-explore your
                          immediate surroundings and take advantage of
                          secret passages.  If you look close, you'll
                          always find them.

                          The finale comes in two phases.  The second phase
                          of the finale requires some creativity in getting
                          up to the room that triggers the final showdown.
                          When you find some new buttons durring the
                          end-game, try pushing them and returning to the
                          main arena to see the results.

                          Good luck!


                          Give-Aways:
                          The endgame is tough, but there is more than
                          enough ammo around.  You have to find it, though.
                          Try the silver wall at the top of the exit lift!

                          Once you find the exit room (Southern tip of the
                          main arena), you can take the lift to the exit or
                          push on the West wall, which reveals a secret
                          room.  There you'll find a BFG and a button that
                          triggers the first round of the showdown.  A new
                          chamber and tunnel also opens up.

                          The buttons that you find durring the end game
                          (in the new tunnel) allow you to change the
                          topography of the main arena in the Pentadrome.
                          This can be useful when being chased by
                          Cybedemons.  Each "arm" of the main arena is
                          split into four definned surfaces:
                                        1)  The main floor
                                        2)  Inner Column
                                        3)  Mid Fang
                                        4)  Outer Fang
                          The Mid and Outer Fangs are arranged
                          symetrically, like concentric triangles.  The
                          Inner Columns are in the middle of each Mid Fang.
                          All of this is part of the main floor when the
                          game begins.  The middle button (of three) raises
                          the Inner Columns to the ceiling.  The other two
                          buttons raise the Mid and Outer Fangs in
                          incements of 16 and 32.  The two buttons directly
                          behind the outer buttons lower the corresponding
                          Fangs to the floor.  This can also be done with
                          the two levers located in the balcony overlooking
                          the main floor of the arena, which are visible at
                          the start of the game.

                          To trigger the final phase of the finale, you
                          have to raise the Fangs high enough into the air
                          so that you can leap from the arena balcony onto
                          the Outer Fang and then jump over to secret room
                          that the Cacodemons came from.  There you'll see
                          a door and a button that starts the second round,
                          which will also open up a new tunnel.


                          Happy Hunting!
