                         ===================

In deathmatch the rules are quite simple. Each player starts in
their own colour coded room. This is actually only for good looks,
because when you die you can appear in any room.
        You must play with a minimum of 3 players if you want to
be able to finish the level. Once you start, elect one person to be
the guardian. The guardian goes through the door behind him/her and
through the teleport. This door is ONE WAY so don't think you can
wait for the others to teleport and then steal their ammo. After
the guard has teleported, have a look at what everything does.
First pick up the rocket launcher and BFG9000. These are so no-one
annoys you, and also so you can go out through the red and fight
the happy barons. A switch is provided for the lift.
        Everyone else goes and murders each other. Be careful of
the following:  Imp shots which unfortunatly travel through paper-
thin walls so it is possible to not know your murderer. Also, I
found that any illustrated shots (Rockets, Plasma, BFG) will go
through paper-thin walls, but strangely bullets do not. Wierd.
There is also one bloody hard part which is secret, in which
you must balance very carefully across platforms suspended over
lava. Very, very deadly, but the goodies at the top are well
worth the strain. :)
        The lights can be very sickening, and dark rooms can be 
very bad hiding places. Above all, have fun and kill all your
mates.

                      =======================
For co-op the aim is simple, kill all enemies. Provide cover for
everyone, especially in ULTRA VIOLENCE with invisible horrors.
Once finished make your way to the exit, which I think has an
override switch. I don't know if it is accessible, because I
toggled DEATHMATCH ONLY onto it and I'm not sure if it appears
in CO - OP. E-mail my beta tester Steven at sjw@fc.ausom.oz.au with
any help for me about the exit. Now go get 'em!

                     S I N G L E   P L A Y E R
                     =========================
The rules for this are exactly the same as CO - OP except that
there is only one person doing all the killing. This is only
good in ULTRA VIOLENCE because otherwise it just gets silly.

  AND NOW... HOW TO DEFEND YOURSELF AGAINST A MAN ARMED WITH A 
                            BANANA
===============================================================
Stay under cover and don't go out in the open unless absolutly
possible. 

Even in the pure light is better than nothing.

Try not to hide in an area with grates or many ways to enter it.

Make sure you don't get caught in a dark alleyway with a tall,
dark stranger with a gun.

Think tactically, paper thin walls don't show up on the map, so
it can help and hinder you- you can know where they are and you
can avoid them - you don't have a map of the paper thin area so
it is hard to navigate.

Generally have fun and enjoy the carnage :)

Make the world a better place for all fish to live.
