                          Have been playing DooM since the very early
                          days, when I first saw it on my friend's 486.
                          About ten years later I dusted this map off and
                          spent an evening or two polishing it slightly.

Description             : My own (probably ill-advised) attempt to counter
                          Justin Fisher's [*] opinion that PWADs based on
                          the concept of rooms that form words are boring
                          and unimaginative. I dare say most of them are
                          but it was a nice little challenge anyway.
                          [* JF of Aliens-TC fame, that is.]
                          This is a relatively small level, but has some
                          neat touches I think. "Fish" is the despised pet
                          name by which my little brother was known.
                          Scroll down for tips.

Known Bugs              : The room with the vertical bars requires a
                          source port of Doom that removes the internal
                          limit that causes visplane overflows.
                          Acorn Doom+ displays "Unknown switch special 105"
                          if you press the space bar at one of the linedefs
                          that opens a fast silver door when you walk over
                          it. Just ignore the message.

You'll need to keep your wits about you to survive, and don't waste ammo -
there isn't much of it about. There's some armour near the start - don't
neglect to pick it up, because you will need it.

Pain Elemental: eliminate it before it spits loads of Lost Souls.

Revenant: Keep cool and make maximum use of the available cover. Two
sections of the S walkway can be lowered if you fall into the nukage -
I'll leave you to find out which.

Finally, when retracing your steps don't assume that you won't meet
any opposition. }:>

On ultra-violence you will die if you screw up - if that doesn't sound
like your cup of tea then play on an easier skill level.
