(1) The scenario now has a cool, new picture. It is, however, grayscale; but until I upgrade to a better photoshop program all I have to use is an archaic program that shouldn't even work under system 7, let alone higher versions of system 6.
(2) Ammo, weapons, and medi packs are harder to come by. Most of those goodies have also been put under armed guard and/or lock and key, even in some of the lower levels.
(3) Once again, you can achieve 100% score on secret detection. This is because every level has at least one secret panel.
(4) 99% of all secret panels are detectable via visual cues in 3D mode or by incongruities in wall patterns in map mode.
(5) All levels have been altered even more.
(6) With this version of "Mutant Madness Reborn" game play should still be challenging but more winnable in the long run. Playing in "I am Death Incarnate" mode is very hard but still winnable. If you must play in "I am Death Incarnate" mode I suggest saving often. Levels 2-2, 3-3, and 4-1 are the most difficult. Not that they all aren't a pain in the ass.
(7) Time bonuses have been standardized as follows:
For those of you who have downloaded "Mutant Madness" there are differences between the original and the "Reborn" version :
(1) "Mutant Madness Reborn" has less ammo, less food, and fewer medi-packs than "Mutant Madness".
(2) "Mutant Madness Reborn" has heavily altered floor layouts. Some floors might look familiar, but you'll soon realize that chambers are gone or have been moved. Not to mention that all those wonderful weapons and medical supplies are primarily under lock and key even in some of the lower levels.
(3) Like "Mutant Madness", each level of "Mutant Madness Reborn" has a vault or vaults containing treasure or other useful items. Warning - vaults are always guarded.
(4) Lifts still carry you from one level to the next where you disembark from them.
(5) Unlike its predecessor, if you die in "Mutant Madness Reborn" and you're on level 1-1 up through level 2-3 you still have a chance of surviving and eventually winning the game. If you die on level 3-1 up through level 4-1 you may have little or no chance of survival.
(1) The primary target is the evil scientist Dr. Otto Schaabs. Warning, Dr. Schaabs is Hell with a Hypodermic, so killing him won't be easy. Also - drawing him out of his laboratory isn't easy. He may be mean, but if you got this far he knows your a threat.
(2) The secondary goal is to destroy as many of Schaab's creations as you can and to kill any normal people you come accross. Be very careful, Dr. Schaabs has well-trained guards. They're the ones dressed in white. You may also stumble across some enlisted men. They're the one's dressed in brown wearing helmets. However, there aren't many of them left, since most of them were turned into mutants.
(3) The third goal of your mission is to plunder Dr. Schaab's fortune. The Allies can always use additional funding in their fight against the German war machine.
(1) If you've never played "Mutant Madness" then I highly suggest playing at one of the two lower difficulty settings. I still get beat up pretty good at "I am Death Incarnate" mode and I degined the scenario.
(2) Don't waste ammo or you'll end up with only a knife between you and your imminent demise.
(3) Don't be in a hurry. Don't worry about the time bonus, it is possible to get it but think about keeping yourself alive first.
(4) Don't get backed into a DEAD END. There is a reason they're called that.
(5) Don't underestimate those Germans or you might find yourself overpowered. That means DEAD in game terms.
(1) Because I believe in putting credit where it is due, I would like to make a mention of "Mutants' Lair" the scenario I found on AOL that spawned the first "Mutant Madness" and indirectly led to the creation of "Mutant Madness Reborn".
(2) One other thing, I'm trying to put together an electronic manual on editing Wolfenstein. I've learned a few tricks and would be glad to share. All I need now is alittle free-time and to register my copy of DocMaker v4.5.
(3) All files in this package were created in an environment protected by SAM v4.0
