- Title : Stairway to Hell (for Doom ][)
- Filename : STAIRWAY.WAD
- Author : Damien Wellman
- Email Address : Damien.wellman@narrows.kendra.com
- (I can also be reached on the Doom Fidonet echo.)
- Misc. Author Info : This is NOT my first WAD, just to reassure you.
- My first WAD was an unadulterated piece of crap,
- using WinDEU before I had any real understanding of
- Doom levels. This is my second, and I used DCK
- instead...
- Description : A simple WAD meant as a game-ender. Starts off
- in a cavern, fairly standard until the end, in
- which you climb down the Stairway. At the bottom
- of said Stairway, the imfamous Romero's Head
- is busy spitting out monsters. However, as you can
- go right next to the Head and blast it, it isn't
- difficult to kill. The hard part is GETTING to it.
- Additional Credits to : id software, of course.
- The guys who made BSP and DCK.
- Led Zepplin.

- Editor(s) used : DCK v2.2 and BSP(built-in to DCK)
- Known Bugs : Just one. In the black hallway with little alcoves
- with various monsters spewing various projectiles,
- there's an invisible wall at the end of it. You CAN
- pass it, just go to the left side of the hallway.
- I tried to fix it, but I guess it's a bug in DCK.
- :(
- * Misc. Notes *
-
- The inspiration for this level was this: a few years ago, a fundimentalist
- minister had claimed that when "Stairway to Heaven", by Led Zepplin, was
- played backwards, he could hear Satanic messages. Of course, this was total
- bunk, but it got me to thinking... just what is the opposite of the Stairway
- to Heaven? The one to Hell, of course... I would have used a MIDI editor to
- make the MIDI of the song to play backwards, but I thought that was going
- just a TAD too far...
