Description             : This PWAD replaces level one of DOOM II.
                          It was designed as a Deathmatch Level with a new
                          twist. The object of the level is to be the first
                          one to hit the exit switch. Sounds easy doesn't it?
                          Well it's harder than you think. Just try it and
                          see. It's a lot of fun.

                          There are only 4 Deathmatch starts, which are placed
                          in such a way that when you get killed and reappear
                          you don't risk being killed immediately. If you know
                          what I mean.

                          The level contains no monsters and there is absolutely
                          no health of any kind lying around. So this calls for
                          more cautious tactics. There is however one secret
                          room that contains an invulnerability ball. But those
                          things don't last long anyway.

                          All players start off in a central building, with 
                          a shotgun. This building is surrounded by a 
                          courtyard, which takes you to other rooms. 
                          These other rooms contain a weapon of some sort 
                          and a switch. At first, only one of these rooms is 
                          accessible. The switches in these rooms make other 
                          rooms accessible. Giving you access to more 
                          powerful weapons. The last of these rooms contains
                          only a switch which makes the exit switch 
                          accessible. So if you thought you could just run
                          straight to the exit switch from the start, then
                          you were dead wrong buddy!

                          The exit switch is located on a high platform in
                          the courtyard. There is a very long, thin catwalk 
                          that you must walk across to get to the exit switch.
                          You are of course an easy target when walking across
                          this catwalk. The last section of this catwalk will
                          also take some health away from you. The only way
                          to get to this catwalk is to teleport there. The
                          teleporter is located on a very high platform in
                          the courtyard. This platform is marked EXIT all over
                          it. You must ride a very slow lift to the top of
                          this platform and lose some health along the way.
                          Remember that the only way to get your health back
                          up to 100% is to die!

                          Each weapon, except the single barrel shotgun, has
                          a price to pay. You will in most cases lose some
                          health in obtaining a new weapon.

                          When the last switch, that gives you access to the
                          exit switch, is hit, it will also make some heavy
                          duty weapons available at no price. So if you just
                          died and your opponent is heading for the exit 
                          switch, you will be able to quickly grab some
                          big weapons and hunt him down. The last switch
                          will also make some teleporters available. These
                          teleporters are located near the Deathmatch starts
                          and will take you to the base of the platform marked
                          EXIT all over it. These will also come in handy if
                          you've just been killed and your opponent is heading
                          for the exit switch.

                          RULES:                                               
                          =====
                          Simple. First One Out wins. 
                          The first player to hit the exit switch wins the
                          match. No matter who has the most frags.
                          If you set a timer for this level and the time
                          runs out before the exit switch has been hit,
                          then the player with the most frags wins.
                          If playing with 4 players, then I recommend that
                          you form 2 teams.
