VERY IMPORTANT!!!!: MONSTERS MUST BE TURNED ON, AND THE HIGHEST DIFFICULTY
SETTING MUST BE SELECTED OR THE LEVEL WILL NOT RUN CORRECTLY.

Description           : Pretty cool level. Still in early stages. Expected
final version will be ver. 8. So far the textures are really crude. Net play
supported for up to four players. The players will start outside the arena,
they have to get inside the arena where the real battle takes place. To get to
the arena, you will have to make desicions, each person enter differently.
Wrong move, and you can be killed, or seriously hurt by the numerous traps.
The arena is huge, lotsa trees and swamp like area. In the arena you only have
access to the pistol, plenty of ammo for it, and a shotgun with limited ammo.
If your good, or lucky enough, to stumble accross the secret room before your
opponent dose, you will have access to all inventory items, weaponry, full
health, and atomic energy. A USER.CON file will be released with the final
version to lengthen the game, so the person dosn't have to find his/her way
back to the arena after dying alot. The CON will weaken some of stronger guns,
and strengthen Duke, and his invenory items. NOTE: YOU MUST FLICK ALL SWITCHES
YOU FIND OR ACCESS TO THE ARENA WILL BE DENIED.
 
Updates from ver. .80: Net play supported for up to 4 players. Some bugs
fixed. The hidden area has been moved. Arena has been minorly textured. Some
hiding places incorperated in arena.

Updates from ver. .94: Not much. A small glitch in the door's in one part of
the level. A few other things. Next update, ver 1.40.

Additional Credits to : I'd like to thank Le'Roy (LLinkjr@aol.com) for testing
and being there for me to shoot up. Look for his level, Stone Temple of Death.

* Construction *

Base                  : New level from scratch, ver .94 been working on it
for about a two mons.
Editor(s) used        : Build of course.
Known Bugs            : The textures are extremly crude, some hight imbalences
                        and the textures are not fully aligned. And silent
                        doors. Might not fix the doors, gives an element of
                        surprise. ;-) One starting place is longer that
                        others. This is not due to lazyness, but the player 
                        who starts there has a advantage where he/she can
                        snipe off the other players. The area is longer so the
                        other players can get in the arena and hide without
                        the player hiding and picking them off before they
                        realize where they are.

Final Notes: Another version (ver. 8.80) for single or co-op may be
released if demand is high enough. The level will be alterd slightly. The
theme is you will be seperated from your partner and you must find eachother,
then go on to battle the Boss and his minions. A full story will be written
with the level.
