TURN WORD WRAP ON!!!!!!!!!!

ARMAGEDDON v1.0c
by Barry C. (C)1998-1999


Thanks for downloading ARMAGEDDON Version 1.0c. Armageddon
is a full-fledged Wolfenstein game (like Spear of Destiny was to WOLF3D).
This is not just another set of levels by the creator of WOLF3D_60. This is
also far better than any of my previous add-ons. Armageddon has levels that should satisfy everyone, since each unit has a different theme, everyone should find their favorite kind of levels in Armageddon. From the mazey corridors of the Pipeline, to the wide open, slimey rooms of the West Wing, or even the similar-to-original style of the castle sections. It's all in Armageddon.

INSTALLATION: Armageddon is a stand-alone game based on Wolfenstein 3-D. I do not reccomend intalling Armageddon into your Wolf3d directory. For all you Wolf add-on fanatics out there, your Wolf3d directory probably already takes up megabytes and megabytes worth of space. At least mine does. That's why I reccomend installing Armageddon in a directory like C:\ARMAG or something like that. Just unzip the files into your directory, and its ready to run.

CHANGES TO THE EXE:

Continuous levels without the hassle of passwords.
Changed ceiling colors.
New music from Spear of Destiny
Two additional keys (iron and wooden keys)
AND THE BIG ONE: The Portal to the Future

One thing I did not change is the par times. There is a reason for this, but I don't want to explain it.

OTHER CHANGES:

New Graphics (a great deal of them are from Spear of Destiny, but I've created many and they are original.

Slightly altered sounds. Mostly on the bosses and I have given the chaingun a gunpowder sound after you shoot.

And of course, 60 new levels.

STORYLINE: It is 1975 and you, B.J. Blazcowics were returning from Castle Titanburg after destroying Franz Schabbs, Dr. Schabbs brother. On your way back, you pass Dolchtafuel Volcano, and you see somthing you've never seen there before. You see a castle built into the side of it. You report it the Allied forces. They tried to detect it, but couldn't. Also, you could only see the castle if you were looking at it from a certain angle at a certain time of day.
Two weeks later, the Spear, which has been in Allied Control since you recaptured it from Professor Quarkblitz, was reported missing. You learn that the dreaded Death Knight, the kinght of the future has built a portal, into Dolchtafuel Volcano. Through this portal, Death Knight snuck into the Allied Embassy in Berlin, and stole the Spear. The portal will only stay open for a short time, and if any attack on Death Knight is to be attempted, someone must find the portal, and journey into the future, and attack Death Knight there, and recapture the Spear. If Death Knight is not stopped, he will be able to altar the past which will bring an ultimate present, and bring Armageddon to civilization as we know it. This is a job for B.J.

MEET THE BOSSES:

Super SS: The Super SS is well, a regular SS guard. The main difference is that the Super SS packs a chaingun instead of a machine gun and he is much harder to bring down. He resides in the SS Lair on floor 58 of the Volcano.

Ubermutant: This is one of the Mutants that were let free from The Lost Fortress. You know, those big, hard to bring down, mutants armed with chainguns. They have been on your back in every mission since they were freed. This is the last one.

Dreaded Death Knight of the Future: This is a version of Death Knight, who you previously killed. However, this Death Knight is from the distant Future, and has captured the Spear through a portal into 1975. This Death Knight has many more abilities than the previous Death Knight did. He has the ability to transform into things he isn't.

THE PORTAL TO THE DISTANT FUTURE: This is a portal built by Death Knight so he could make his way to 1975 to steal the Spear and dominate the entire universe. The portal is located someplace in the volcano. B.J. must find the portal, so he can warp to the distant future to stop Death Knight and his evil plans. The portal is a floating spear in the air that if you touch it, you will be warped to the time and place the portal is triggered to. You can always see the other side of it from the side your on.


UNITS: Old Castle (Levels 1-8)

These levels represent the Old Castle. The Old Castle is the part that is the most visible. It is quite similar to the original Wolf3d levels. These are the only levels that tally up percentage ratios. You will be required to get the wooden key on most of the levels from level 2 on. The Iron key is not used in this section, the pipes, or the West Wing.

Pipeline (Levels 9-12)

This is the weirdest unit in Armageddon. From the old castle, you crept into the pipes and sewers of the volcano. These pipes control everything in every section of the Volcano. In this section, You'll travel through the pipes beneath the floors. In level 12, you'll travel through the Volcano itself. In the pipes, of course. In the castle pipes, you will meet a new, horrifying creature. The Megaspider, created by Death Night, is a creature who will show no mercy. It will continue to attack until you are dead and you can't kill it. How do you get past the Megaspider without being fried by it's poison? Timing is the answer. It might take a couple of times, but you need to save often and learn the Spider's path. Only then will you be able to sneak by without the Spider seeing you. This is very difficult, but it's possible. Also, if you can't get out of the way, run benath the spider very fast, so you may only lose 40% health on "I am thirsty for Blood". Levels 12 is too hot for these spiders to live in, but plenty of mutants reside in these pipes.

West Wing (Levels 13-15)

Somehow, you managed to find an elevator to take you out of the pipes. You end up in a smelly, moldy wing of Castle Doltchtafuel. The walls are very moldy while vines are not uncommon. These levels are not difficult, just unpleasant. It gets a little more civilized in level 15 though.

Power Plant (Levels 16-23)

This is a section of the Castle. These levels are fairly similar to the originals, except you will see leaking, nuclear barrels everywhere. You will also see computer control centers. With your whole self covered in green slime from the West Wing, you arive at the part of the castle the all the electricity is produced. The fuel is drawn from the core of the volcano. You will have to search secret passages for keys and elevators in several cases in this unit since the castle was remodeled for installation of the power generators. Many of the old walls were moved, and some keys and elevators got blocked off. You probably have been getting tired of getting three keys instead of two at this point. Don't worry, in the midst of this plant, you will be required to get the Iron key (horrors!) on top of the gold, silver, and wooden ones. You will have to get the Iron key from this point on. That means you will be spending alot of times on some of these levels. Level 22 is the headquaters for the controling of the plant, while most of the mechanical work is done in Level 23.

Prison (Levels 24-30)

These levels don't need as much explaining. They are, obviously, set in a Nazi prison. The floor here is littered in giblets. Blood, skelitons, chrushed bones, and you name it, the floor is littered and polluted with this stuff. You will notice many jail cells, obviously in this section. This is definately the most boring and unexciting section. Don't get discouraged, the connection from prison to the castle is on level 30. You will go through a long tunnel across the mountain to enter the nazi castle, the section that is most similar to the original Wolfenstein levels. You may be going back and forth a few times for keys, however.

The Castle (Levels 31-55)

This is the section that is most similar to the original wolfenstein levels. It is also the longest. This section makes up the majority of the volcano, and the base of it hangs right over the core of the volcano. The closer you get the bottom, the more of the "Red Stone" wall you will see. This wall type is new in Armageddon. This is one of the most heavilly guarded sections, but food and ammo is available if you find it. This castle has beautiful corridors and dining areas as well as messy dungeon cells. In the midst of this castle, you will have to crawl through the slimy sewers beneath the castle. These sewers connect the castle to the pipes. You already conquered the pipes earlier in the game. In Level 55, you will enter the pipes that will take you into the core of the volcano.

Volcano (Levels 56-59)

You have made it! You are now at the most heavily guarded section. There are many working elevators in this section, but you must find the right one by trial and error. You must work your way through these long, hot tunnels. You have to watch out for the FIREBALL MONSTER, the second of the new creatures in Armageddon. Level 59 is a network of steel tunnels hanging over the magma. This is where the Ubermutant controls the magma and guards the entrance to the portal. You must terminate the Ubermutant, and go through the portal, and be warped to an unknown world.

Level 60:

This level is unknown to B.J. or the Allied fortress. As the portal warps you to the distant future to face the Death Knight, you are unaware what lies ahead. Beware, the truth is out there!

LEVELS OF INTREST:

Level 8: Watch out for the Spider, in the pipes. You can view the Pipeline from the Castle.

Level 12: These are the pipes running beneath the volcano! There is a place where you will actually enter the Volcano.

Level 13: This is the most uninhabited area of the West Wing.
