- Title : Escape from Castle Höllenstein
- Filename : D2ESC.WAD
- Author : Topi Ylinen
- Email Address : f1toyl@uta.fi
- Misc. Author Info : My first released Doom2 wad.
- I have previously made several wads
- for Doom1, a Heretic wad and an un-
- released deathmatch wad for Doom2.
- PLEASE TELL ME HOW YOU LIKED THIS WAD!
- Because if you liked it, I might
- make a sequel or two (or even
- more)...
- Demos (v1.9) would be highly appreciated.
-
- Description : The Allied suspect that the Nazis
- are developing a nightmarish army
- of creatures that once were humans
- but have now been biologically
- twisted into inhuman abominities.
- There have been rumors of mindless
- cyborg soldiers equipped with
- flame-throwers and worse things...
- You, Captain Blackheart, were sent
- to explore the hidden laboratory
- of the mad Doctor Mangler, but
- his inhuman servitors took you
- by surprise. You have been captured
- and taken to the infamous Castle
- Höllenstein where torture awaits
- you - - - maybe you will even
- become one of Mangler's inhuman
- troopers yourself. Unless you
- escape. You defeated the nazi
- trooper that had come to bring
- you some water with your bare
- fists, and you have got his
- handgun, but now are locked up
- in the prison cell again... and
- there is no way out except the
- locked door... no secret doors
- or anything. What next? If you
- fail to escape and continue your
- mission, Dr. Mangler's fiendish
- troops will surely kick some Allied
- ass for good!
-
- NOTE!
- Wad files included:
- d2esc.wad - The actual map
- nazisnd.wad - Has some new sound effects
- (the soldier wake-up sounds
- and death sounds, plus the
- wake-up sound of the level 30
- final enemy, although the last
- is not used in d2esc.wad).
- There was also a graphics patch but I had to
- remove it due to copyright reasons... :-<

-
- * Play Information *
-
- Episode and Level # : Doom II Map01
- Single Player : Yes, but it's pretty damn hard! Although the
- toughest monsters in the wad are mere Revenants
- and Mancubi, Castle Höllenstein is filled with
- _evil_ traps. In fact, my brother (who used to
- play Doom1 one episode at a time at UV _without_
- saving) gave up his first attempt to complete
- the level after barely surviving the third trap
- and dying to the fourth. Even if you survive
- the traps, there is a room just before the
- exit (with the exit signs) that turned out
- to be considerably more difficult than I
- had intended it (you'll know it when you
- see it... spectres and revenants and stairs
- in a small room, a pillar in the middle).
- Cooperative 2-4 Player : Yes, has a few more monsters and weapons,
- and one player starts OUTSIDE the locked cells
- Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Deathmatch starting points are there, but
- the map has not been optimized for DM playing.
- Plays better in Co-op mode.
- Difficulty Settings : More monsters for tougher difficulty levels.
- Has been completed on UV, although it isn't
- easy in Single player mode.
- New Sounds : Yes! Use nazisnd.wad to get some truly 'original'
- nazi exclamations.
- New Graphics : There WAS but I had to remove them :-<
- New Music : Not this time, sorry.
- Demos Replaced : None
-
