And, since you are here, you have to fight one more chapter of this eternal battle. You have found the door that leads to Hell; you have found THE DOOR OF HELL. And, congratulations, because you've been brave enough to open it. This chapter starts when you find yourself at home, after having accepted the awful truth: the zombie-men, Imps and all monsters from Hell are your eternal neighbors, and you, finally, have learned how to live in peace with them. But neither you and nor them were really satisfied with this situation. You have in mind that you can defeat they, and so them in their minds. In accordance with Hell, you two challenge yourself to put an end to this matter on a boxing fight. That is the moment when this story starts. Step foward to live it, or to die it... Level 01 - Boxing Gimnasium This level starts on the changing room, where you are preparing yourself for the fight that has been promised as the last one: a boxing match against the Hell. You warm yourself knocking down some spares and, then, going straight to the ring. Inside the gymnasium, you see everybody present, since the simple zombie-monster until the greatest beasts; everybody is there, even his last few allied mariners. The bad news is that the the crowd from the stands are only monsters But, one thing should be clarified. During your truce time with Hell, only one word could describe it: suspicion. And, once the fight has begun, you two started cheating, one before the other - like if it were possible -, and, at the end, you both shall pay the price for this betrayal . Tip: Don't be coward, don't even think you can overpass this level without passing through the boxe ring Level 02 - Cine Terror: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre After paying the price for cheating on your boxing fight, which was: your own life.

Your start your bloody trip over the city by the greatest construction you see, an enormous building ahead, and, if is it huge, so should be the monsters you shall face. Tip: If you are smart, you will have to get the elevator only once to find the exit and also some secrets and power-ups Level 04 - The River Only Hell could describe a disgusting bad-smelling slime sewer as a river . That s the real problem of them, the problem that have never led you accept living with them: they just don t have good taste, they don t know how to appreciate a good wine. Whatever is the name they give to the hazard water you see, you will have to follow it. Tip: Have you heard about or learned the Pythagoras theorem? Do you know what a hypotenuse is? The tip is that you won t need to make any high-math calcs to discover what to do when the truth moment presents itself Level 05 - The Street of Doom Walking around a city conquered by demons of Hell can be very dangerous, if you step through the wrong corner, you may see yourself surrounded by an entire evil demonic gang-street.

Tip: The Keens will show you the way Level 28 - Limbo Now you will really experience what to be inside the spirit world is. You will coexist with lost souls and learn by practice what's the difference between ghosts and phantoms. And, of course, the usual demons of Hell will be there too. You have already passed through the door of Hell, now you will have to pass over its final gateway, a dimension between the demons' and the lost souls' worlds. In this dimension, you loose all material world references; you are a lonely soul flying around together many others in the infinite. The only thing you can see beyond the dead entities is a giant gate taking the entire horizon which separates you from Hell, you must get through it. Tip: The PAR TIME of this level is 10 minutes. When you discover the level dynamics, you will realize it is, indeed, very easy, but it will ever, at least, require your patience and clairvoyance to wait the gate be completed opened. Until you learn that, you will die aplenty, but don t worry, remember that you are already dead Level 29 - Hell Suddenly you remember the classic Dante s lyrics about Hell; you see some similarities with the sight ahead: it s Hell, at last. You wonder what Dante would say to you now you are about to begin the final descent and test your faith. In the Hell entryway, an endless and narrow staircase is the only way to avoid the bloody lava that lies over a deep, dark and deadly cliff. Keep your faith and balance to not give a false step outside this vertiginous ladder. Go ahead and meet the Kings of Hell where the living ends. Tip: Keep yourself at the path as longer as you can, until the end if you are strong enough, but if you can t, you can t. If you fall, you fell. What do you care if Hell gets more infernal? Level 30 - Die Romero After all poured blood, all painful fights and all thorns you ve passed through, you finally reached the horrifying ultimate battle. You got yourself into the deepest bowel of Hell a place that even a mighty god would not dare approaching , and you find what was obvious, you stand face-to-face with the most horrendous and feared beast: Satan, in flesh and bone, blood and strength, in spirit and spells, power and blazes. Once again is up to you blowing his face up. The end of this story lies over your shoulders to save yourself of being a warrior that nobody would be proud to remember. The time to reach a new heroic deed has come. Tip: You will have to do the same job you did on Hell on Earth final level. The difference is that, beyond other few painfully surprises, you ll have to find two keys before destroying the great beast... Level 31 - Tsunami After the several battles you survived, you went on a vacation trip, trying to rest some time and heal some hurts, so you made your head to the beach. Once there, you discover the sad reality: the monsters also have learned how to entertain their selves lying under the sun and surfing some waves. Even at the beach you are obliged to have some killing-job-time, typical. The only thing you wouldn t ever expect is that Hell could send such sea nightmare over your head to test your breath while you have to drill it. Tip: Remember that this level offers two ways of finishing it, and lead you to the second episode s secret level. Level 32 - Vietnam Only you know the hard time you had to beat the Hell on a war that is remembered as the "big win", now imagine to face a warhell that is remembered as the "big lost". At the Nam, my friend, "the hole is deeper", and so the Hell . This is, farther than any other, the most difficult level you will try to pass through. You will discover that not only great monsters can be a huge obstacle, the small ones can also accomplish the same job. Tip: Don t try to rush things up, the level starts with an ambush, so wait, camper yourself. After that, all you have to do is to carefully step forward and straight ahead until you find the means to go out. Be careful and avoid being hit, because the medic's platoon is dead. Saving the game on the previous level and jumping this map is also another tip than can be given... ============================================================================================================= "This wadfile was named 'The Door of Hell' years before the eponymous Doom movie released on 2005, I swear by the love of God and revenge of Satan.
