Description : CROSSING ACHERON is the second level in the INFERNO
series. Having passed through DANTE'S GATE and
survived, you now find yourself in a keep on the
shores of the river Acheron. This is the second
leg of the journey in your search for Beatrice.
Your guide, Virgil, is nowhere to be found.
"He's buggered off!" you think to yourself; but
you have no time now to even think: you are
immediately challenged by several Demons, and in
the distance you hear the eerie purring of the
Arch-Vile. (Just be sure not to stare at him for
too long before you start running.) As usual,
you dispatch what fiends you may and begin the
task at hand.
Your goal? To get the hell out of this place as
quickly as possible and find your beloved Beatrice.
You only hope that she has already passed through
this hell-hole to a safer haven beyond. If only
you could hold her in your arms again, you know
what you would say:
"Give me some sugar, Babe."
CROSSING ACHERON (pronounced 'ak eron) is the second
level in a series that began with DANTE'S GATE. The
third is VIRGIL'S LEAD. For any of the two or three
of you out there who have read Dante Alighieri's
THE DIVINE COMEDY -- or even only "Inferno" --
I'm sure you've been able to appreciate the many
allusions to this work in DOOM. I have tried to
take a tack of my own along the same lines. (I do
this not only because I think the idea is neat, but
so that people will think that I'm very clever.)
I'm not so naãve as to expect everyone to rush out
and get a copy of "Inferno" (I mean, it IS pretty
tedious stuff, at times), but it's well worth the
read -- and a little patience is a virtue that is
often well-rewarded.
(By the way: Acheron is a river in Hell (basically).
But don't look for any rivers in here: I tried it
several different ways and just wasn't convinced.)
Thanks. Hope you like it.
Instructions : Put ACHERON2.WAD in your DOOM directory, type
"doom2 -file acheron2.wad -warp 3 -skill <#>"
(Or, to play moderately at first, also put the file
ACHE2.BAT in your DOOM directory and type ACHE2.)
To play the DEMO, just type DOOM2 -file acheron2.wad,
sit back, and enjoy the show.
Disclaimer : I assume no responsibility for anything of any sort
in any way, shape, or form--now, then, henceforeward
in this life (or the next several) for any screw-ups
or even minor inconveniences this PWAD causes you,
your family, your relatives, friends, ancestors,
associates, employers, pets, neighbors, lovers,
congressional representatives, nor any other person--
living, dead, or undead -- that you have or will ever
have any contact with in even the slightest form.
This PWAD has been tested and tested ad infinitum, so
it shouldn't mess with your computer or anything else
remotely associated with it. But if it DOES, then
that's the way the cookie crumbles. Don't come cryin'
to me. It must be something YOU did. If you don't
like it, lump it. (I ran out of clichÇs.)
