Description             : 

quake 1 single player level.  this is kind of the ogre homeworld, except

that the sky is blue.  Watch out for pools of acid!  Intended to be 

played on hard.  I wish i could add more monsters to nightmare...

only 3 skill settings is annoying.  When you win,  you get to find out

what my favorite id SPQ level is.



This is my first real level, made with thred(arggggh) Yes, thred.  I am so 

impressed with Critters, i  still can't see how jim lowell did 

some of that stuff with such a handicap like thred. Thred was once 

great, but it paid the price of stagnation.



Hope you enjoy it, 'cause my GPA didn't..

* Play Information *



note to glquake users:  load this map first when you start quake, beacause 

if you play it after some other levels, like e1m1, the slime in this level 

will be the e1m1 slime instead of my custom slime, i guess because glquake

loads each texture once per session, and i used an already taken name for 

my texture, "*slime."  if it doesn't look radioactive green, restart glquake.
