Title : Demonic Spirit for DOOM II
Filename : SPIRIT.WAD
Release Date : December 94
Author : ANDY BADOREK
Email Address : migru@vg3.chemie.uni-konstanz.de
(He is a friend... Go ahead! Keep him busy!)
Misc. Author Info : Still not sick of the game
Description : In my opinion episodes 1 and 2 of Doom1 are still
the best. Of course I had those two episodes in mind
when I worked on this WAD, but texture choice is
somewhat different.
This is NOT my first WAD, so give it a chance!
It is a serious attempt in WAD-designing.
By the way: SPIRIT.WAD is fun to play, not hard
to play. I wont call you a worthy Doom Player
if you cheat or save the game...
Hints : Some rooms were designed not to give you an easy
shot at the enemy: if life is too hard for you try
to use a different strategy and/or different weapons.
If a large metal block is in your way look out for
another one which has exactly the same size.
All other switches/trigger lines are local affairs.
There are three ways to get the Soul Sphere:
The invisible barrier can be removed with a switch
in the next room but it is impossible to get back
once the door is closed.
This means (a) you have to be quick, (b) convince
one of the monsters to keep the door open for you,
or (c) do something clever with the barrel.
Of course the puzzle was designed for solution (c).

NO Bugs : Indeed
(Well, honestly: MIGRU the Official Play-Tester
reported mysterious system crashes on his notorious
386/40. But never mind, he spends half his life time
talking about system crashes and other reasons why
he uses OS/2... -- spirit.wad never crashed on me)
Additional Remark : A former beta-version of SPIRIT treated with REJECT
to make it faster for players using excellent 386's
;-) crashed sometimes during the DOOM loading process.
This does not happen with this version!! MIGRU
*** Technical Information ***
Load it with something like: Doom2 -file spirit.wad -warp 1 -skill 4
I used the DOOM2 Linedef Type 126 in some places: it is a monster teleport,
so it is not a bug when YOU cross the line and nothing happens.
I do *NOT* recommend including this WAD into an episode-like compilation WAD
together with other WAD files because it uses texture patches which may
cause other levels to look strange. It is okay if those other levels dont
use the Wolfenstein textures. If you omit the patches, THESE levels will
look strange - and I dont want that!
*** Future Plans ***
There might be an update with one more level released within the next few
weeks... but dont count on it!
*** Copyright / Permissions ***
You may use this WAD as a base to build other levels, provided you give

You are encouraged to distribute this WAD, provided it remains intact
and you include this file (spirit.txt) with no modifications.
