HOW TO USE THIS WAD FILE:
Copy the file GANYMEDE.WAD into your Doom directory and type
doom -file ganymede.wad
at the DOS prompt.
WHAT YOU WILL FIND IN THIS WAD:
Constructions that you have never seen before in the original
levels of both Doom and Doom 2.
WHAT YOU WON'T FIND IN THIS WAD:
* Cacodemons (the red heads - I HATE THEM!)
* Lost Souls
* Areas filled with acid
* Invisibility, Invulnerability, Berzerk (I'm always uncertain
whether it is the right time to take these...)
THE STORY:
The year is... - well, take your favorite year from the future.
You are a student at Ganymede University of Technology,
experimenting with time travel. By mistake you travel about 50
years into the future. You had learned earlier from a history
book which had been brought back from the future that at that
time Ganymede will be taken over by a military regime, using your
University as headquarters. Fight your way through Ganymede Tech
and find the time port that will bring you back to your time...
HINTS:
* If you are using a slow PC and experience speed problems, then
try playing this WAD at an easier level. The more enemies there
are, the slower the game will perform. I designed & tested this
WAD on a 486DX33, and on difficulty levels 3 and 4 it was too
slow to play. The easiest level worked OK.
* You don't need to kill everyone to finish the level.
* The second room that you will enter has many doors leading into
different parts of the level; only two of them don't require a
key. One of them leads into a darker section. Better turn right
there at the first turn-off.
* Especially with the harder difficulty settings you will find out
that after some time there will be Imps (the Brownies, as I call
them) all over the place. Better find out where they come from
and what happens to them, because there is a method to get rid
of them all before they start walking around and appear behind
every corner...
MISCELLANEOUS:
* In the name of all Doom level authors: DON'T CHEAT!
Please don't use the light amplification cheat; I know that some
areas are a little dark, but if you play in the evening and you
turn off the light in your room, you will find out that you will
be able to see quite well even in the dark sections. There are
some good light effects that you would miss using the LiteAmp
cheat.
* This Doom level is in no way connected to my studies at the
Vienna University of Technology.
