Title                   : PURE DEATH PAK 1 (5)

Misc. Author Info       : This PAK contains all 5 of my PURE DEATH levels!

                          I've also created:

                          - ALIENCOP.WAD (3-level Co-Op .WAD
                                          meant for ALIENS DOOM
                                          v2.0+ for DOOM2)
                          - PUREDET5.WAD (deathmatch for DOOM2)
                          - PUREDET4.WAD (deathmatch for DOOM2)
                          - PUREDET3.WAD (deathmatch for DOOM2)
                          - PUREDET2.WAD (deathmatch for DOOM2)
                          - PUREDETH.WAD (deathmatch for DOOM2)

                          All of these levels kick some serious ass in
                          terms of level design, detail, lighting and
                          overall layout. The PURE DEATH series was
                          created for the purpose of intense deathmatch. 

Additional Credits to   : ID Software for making DOOM/DOOM 2, and all
                          the DOOM/DOOM 2 Deathmatchers out there.

                          Thanks to Jason Holtslander for letting me borrow
                          some of his sound samples from JASSND.WAD.
                          Thanks to the authors of CITDOOM2.WAD,
                          LOSER1.WAD & SIGGIDM.WAD for some of their samples. 

                          LONG LIVE DOOM! :)

Story:                  : PUREPAK1.WAD is one massive .WAD featuring
                          all five PURE DEATH levels, one after the other,
                          nonstop! This is destined to be a classic, must
                          have deathmatch pak! New sounds, music and speed
                          improvements too! Get this for nonstop, fraggin'
                          action!! If you've played any of the PURE DEATH
                          levels, you'll know what I'm talking about! This
                          is the most complete collection and if you wished
                          all 5 WADs were in one pack, well they are now!


Other:   Check out my ALIENCOP.WAD (for DOOM 2) for wicked Co-Op play and a
massive 3-level complex based on the movie Aliens. These levels feature
realistic lighting, tons of action and lots of attention to detail. Make sure
you have ALIENS DOOM version 2.0+ (for DOOM 2), otherwise many of the textures
will not be in the right place, the sounds will be different and *much* of the
atmosphere will be lost.
        ALIENCOP.WAD is _MEANT_ for Co-Op play, not deathmatch. So for all you
Co-Op players out there, these are the levels you want!

                          * Levels from the PURE DEATH series *
                          =====================================

        PUREDETH.WAD     : Futuristic complex, multi-floored, with plenty of
       (Pure Death I)     hiding spots and sniper areas. Nice and compact for
                          high frag counts; expect many a battle in the open
                          areas. The BFG lift will be a source of tricks,
                          traps and plenty of laughs, I guarantee it!
                          All weapons are included in this level. Great
                          lighting/shadows and attention to detail make it
                          all the more enjoyable; get playing NOW!


        PUREDET2.WAD      : Large, castle-like playing area. Multi-floored,
       (Pure Death II)    lots of detail, realistic lighting and shadows
                          (all my levels have this!) and a GREAT feeling of
                          3-D; almost looks like QUAKE! :) Battle outside,
                          continue inside...it all looks like it's happening
                          in real time. Perfect for 3-4 players, and quite
                          fun with only 2. All weapons are included. The
                          elevated areas make for some fantastic frags off
                          ledges; I guarantee this level will blow you away
                          in terms of overall workmanship!


        PUREDET3.WAD      : Another compact sized level similar to the
      (Pure Death III)    original PUREDETH.WAD. With 2 players, it's
                          great fun, with 3 it gets crazy, and with 4...
                          Well, it's just PYSCHOTIC! Of course, the trade-
                          mark of the PUREDETH series (so far) is the BFG
                          lift, and it is again present, however this time
                          in a slightly modified form. :) All weapons are
                          available and you can be sure this level will
                          give you nonstop action from start to finish.

                          The setting this time is an old industrial
                          building, with some hiding spots and sniper areas.
                          You can also go outside to fight. This level has
                          great lighting, lots of attention to detail and
                          a great layout for lots of encounters with the
                          opponent...which reminds me, if your opponent
                          manages to secure the BFG...WATCH OUT! You'd better
                          stop him/her before they even get to the lift to
                          retrieve it in the first place!



       PUREDET4.WAD       : This level is kind of similar to level 07 of
      (Pure Death IV)     DOOM2 in the fact that it is basically square
                          shaped. However, there are many features that
                          make it much different. The BFG lift is, of
                          course, present once again, but this time you
                          must hit a switch to lower it again (like in
                          the original PUREDETH.WAD). This will signal
                          your opponent that you are still trapped up
                          there and they will react accordingly. The lift
                          itself is more of a castle than a lift, and I  
                          can guarantee that it will provide tons of laughs.
                          There will be many battles in the upper cages of
                          this lift!!

                          Also, if you enjoy TEAM DEATHMATCH (2 teams of 2
                          players each), you can play capture the flag with
                          the BFG lift. This is a perfect level for team play!

                          Setting? Well...it's a square shaped arena,
                          with an outer ledge extending all around,
                          complete with windows to shoot out from.
                          Also surrounding this ledge is an outer hall
                          extending a bit underground...very dark and
                          dangerous. Expect many a chase in this dank
                          wet canal. In the middle of the arena is the BFG
                          lift, or should I say "BFG prison castle"? :)

                          This level is great fun with 2-players and is highly
                          recommended for 3-4 (especially team play).
                          All weapons are available for maximum mayhem, & the
                          lighting, detail, layout, and overall design are
                          excellent. New music and awesome new sound effects
                          really add to the experience!
                          Get ready for more PURE DEATH action!!


       PUREDET5.WAD     : Medium sized castle-like level, similar in
      (Pure Death V)      architecture to PUREDET2.WAD. Perfect size,
                          compact, fast paced, incredible lighting and
                          detail, new sounds and music and a great
                          layout ensure many awesome frags! The BFG lift
                          is back, and just as deadly as ever! Just like in
                          PUREDET3.WAD, if you hear your opponent throwing
                          the switch, you'd better get to the lift before
                          they do to stop 'em! Likewise, don't get trapped
                          in the lava pit or you may find yourself burning
                          up rather quickly!
                          PUREDETH 5 is a great level for 3-4 players as well,
                          and features incredible pulse-pounding, non-stop
                          action! This level will blow you away in terms of
                          overall workmanship - very 3-D looking and great
                          architecture all contribute to the atmosphere! :)
