Misc. Author Info     : 16-year-old French guy with nothin to do but skateboarding,
listenin
			to punk-rock bands, playing bass and of course building maps...

Other Levels          : Anarchy City, Blois, Mega-CGR, Clerey, Dark Side of the
Moon,
			Notre-Dame des Aydes, Tours. (Mega-CGR, Notre-Dame des Aydes and
			Dark Side of the Moon were rated 90, 91 and 87 on the Duke Nukem 3D
			Repository Site.) If you wanna get'em just ask me !

Description           : A medium-sized city level with a bunch of things to do, and a
lot
			of FX (earthquakes, rooms over rooms, "Duke Talk", explosions...).
			Very good attention to detail, you can find whatever you'll except to
			find in real streets (cars, sewer holes, garbage cans, dog shits...).
			I tried to make shadows look good too... Anyway this is based on a
			real-world place, don't let this scare you off however cuz I modified
			the layout of the streets a bit to optimize it for DN3D Play. This level
			has some good architecture, too...
			The - crappy - storyline behind this one is that you're driving home,
			back from a party, when you notice that a cop car is following you,
			sirens on. You don't understand why they want to get you cuz you've done
			nothing wrong, you're just doing 75 on the wrong side of the road... A
			glance at the reflector and you see that it's just those fucking pigcops
			with shotguns out, trying to aim at you. You try a few zigzag manoeuvers
			as an attempt to get out of the way, quickly park your car, reach inside
			the glove box and throw a pipebomb on the road. As you get out of your
			car to enjoy the show of those agonizing pigcops squirming in their blood
			- yes it's fun ! -, you hear some well-known screams and grunts coming
			from the city streets...
			In this level you'll have to kick alien ass (obviously), find three keys
			and a car to drive home cuz hey Lani's waiting for you...

Additional Credits To : The guy from the Duke Nukem Repository Site who posted three
of my
			levels, Pascal Rouaud for making me realize that a city map was a bit
			empty without cars in it, Gmoser, Itterheim and Breuer for their early
			FAQs who taught me everything, and you cuz you've downloaded the map -
			thanks...

Base                   : New level from scratch...
Level Editor(s) Used   : BUILD - can't get Mapster to work, but who cares...
Art Editor(s) Used     : None ! NO NEW ART ! ! !
Construction Time      : Two weeks. I built it very fast, but trust me the level is
good !
Known Bugs/Problems    : A weird bug happens when you're in one of the streets, when
you look
			 at the apartment building from a certain place you can see a few of
			 the sprites inside popping through the wall ! No effect on gameplay,
			 just something I don't understand that much since I've never seen that
			 in any map that I've ever played... So we'd just say that it's an
			 innovation :-) Don't worry it's even hardly noticiable.
