Archive Maintainer      : This wad-file came originally with the graphics
                          of the original Doom2-enemies in the wad. In this
                          re-release are the redundant enemy-graphics
                          removed. No other changes have been made. This
                          doesn't matter, if you use a advanced source-
                          port. If you use plain vanilla doom, you have to
                          get DeusF, place it together with the wad in your
                          Doom2-directory, and run
                          deusf -append no-mercy.wad
                          at the DOS-prompt. Then play it normally with the
                          -file-parameter.

                          - Tomb of Terror

Description             : After  our two  levels "La Galeria"  and "Tomb of
                          Terror" we started to create a new Level called "
                          No Mercy" for Doom I ! The beginning of the level
                          was genius but then it sucked. So, we rested  for
                          a  while  and after more than a half year - we're
                          proud  to  present  "NO  MERCY" for DOOM II ! The
                          design is really cool and the level is  made  for
                          tha DOOM Elite. Of Coz you will ask: "Why another
                          fucking Doom Level". We answere: "coZ  there  was
                          a lot of crap in the boards we checked out ! This
                          is no "CyberDemon vs. Human with Pistol" Level !!
                          The level is VERY hard, but every fight is fair !
                          Ya only have to be a  very  good  Doom   player !
                          Also another idea  was  to  bring  in  words  and
                          BBSs addyS from the local underground scene ! You
                          will find them all in the "Elite-Only" Hall (TM)!
                          There is a place in  the  level  where  you  have
                          to choose between three holes !  Just  jump  into
                          the "Elite only" hole. If you manage  to  survive
                          ya will reach the "Elite-Only" Hall (TM).  Inside
                          the hall there  is  also  our  special guest star
                          [-hhR!] waiting for you (guy with  six  years  of
                          trading). On  the  walls  you'll  find  a  lot of
                          interesting words, jokes and greets !

                          And always remember: ONLY LAMERS USE THE CHEAT !!

Editor(s) used          : DEU5.21 DJGPP (the BEST one)
                          DEU2 V1.1 (what is this? it can't build the nodes
                                     of this level, because of a low memory
                                     error... should i have more than 8 Mb RAM?
                                     why the hack is this editor so lame??)
                          NWT1.02 (ultra-cool, the right thing to save tipping

Known Bugs              : There is a HOM on the lower right tower, this is
                          because there are to much sidedefs in the vicinity...
                          ...if you should ever see it...

FUTURE PROJECTS:        We dunno ... We've a second frozen project  lying
----------------        around - called "HALL OF HOOLIGANS" -  was  never
                        really finished. Perhaps this level  will  follow
                        in two months or so. But "HALL OF HOOLIGANS" will
                        be the last level for Doom or Doom II we produce!

PLEASE NOTICE:          Notice the HIGH quality of design  !  Notice  the
--------------          high quality of the builded  structure  with  the
                        textures (great work from Diebels with DEU 2) !!!
                        Notice the high quality of the sounds ! It was  a
                        pleasure 4 us to  create  this  level  for  you !
                        cOOL new sprites ! and so on ... and so  on ... !

                        And PLEASE notice: Don't waste your ammo :-)

TRY TO GET:             La Galeria & Tomb of Terror.
-----------             You can find La Galeria &  La Galeria *Deluxe*
                        on the Cobra Double-CDs  for  DOOM & DOOM II !
                        These levels where made for DEATHMATCH !  They
                        really blow your mind away with 4  players  in
                        deathmatch ! *Deluxe* contains much more  ammo
                        and a few new samples! You can play La Galeria
                        in single mode,but remember the level was made
                        for deathmatch !
                        Tomb of Terror is made for single mode !  It's
                        ultra heavy - but you will really like it, coz
                        the design is wonderful and the graphics, too!
                        Of coZ you can play this level  in  deathmatch
                        too, but its a little bit too big! If you play
                        it in deathmatch - check out the "Light on/off
                        area" with four players. You'll get crazy !!!!
                        OfcoZ Tomb of Terror contains many new sounds!
