Primarily designed for coop play but works well in single play mode. I have received lots of favourable responses from Internet and Compuserve Doomers. Let me know if you like them. Most of us don't get paid for the countless hours it takes to put decent levels together. Our only reward is the occaisional message from strangers. Check out my home page for other Bitchin levels. (see URL below) For those who already have Bitchin.wad and Bitchin7.wad, these are the same levels with improved lighting and textures. I also added difficulty settings. Be careful, UV is a little harder! (: Let me know if there are problems. As with all other programming, doing a few fixes often creates the need for some more fixes! ============================================================================= Titles Level #1 : Castle Bitchinstein Level #2 : The Scout Ship Level #3 : Showdown Level #4 : Elevator to Hell Level #5 : Gunfight at the D2 Corral Level #6 : A Good Day To Die ("but the day is not yet over") Level #7 : Death Zones Filename : Btchn1-7.WAD Author : Bob Symonds Email Addres : symcon@interlog.com URL : http://www.interlog.com/~symcon Misc. Author Info : Some guy from Newfoundland - now in Ontario (typical!) See also Bitchin8 and Bitchin9 Description : Single or multi-player coop. Lots of nasties and no annoying mazes. Just bob & weave and blast away! Lots more enemies & bonuses in multi-player mode. All are beatable without cheats. If you have to cheat, take up tick-tack-toe or some other less challenging game. Most levels contain hidden transporters & weapons caches so multi players can beam back into action. P.S. Coloured doors stay open so you don't have to go looking for keys again. ============================================================================== * Play Information * * Don't knock cooperative play mode until you've tried "The Bitchin Series" * ------------------ Episode and Level # : Maps 01-07 (DOOM II) Single Player : Yes Cooperative 2-4 Player : Yes Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Starts are there but I have not tried them.
