Review by Kim Robinson on 7th March 2008
A fairly sizable Dukematch arena with a nice medieval/gothic style - giant columns and monstrous architecture seems to be all the go here. There's not too many places to hide as it's mostly open (except for in the library sections), and with a full complement of weapons scattered about you best be quick on your toes. Not much more to say on this one, bung it through DukesterX or xDuke and take a gander.

Personal Information : I'm just a high school student that's hooked on
Duke, and, most likely, am going to fail Physics
because of it....
Description : You awaken...Memory lost. You are on a column
in broad daylight. All you can remember is something
about imposter aliens and kill kill KILL... You
rub your eyes and can't believe the beauty. You must
have fallen through a time warp or something, because
you appear to be in a gothic past that boggles your
mind. This appears to be a large library area in
a shrine, but there are no obvious exits. Apparently,
this is some kind of virtual reality simulation. They
really didn't skimp you on the detail! Every corner
of the marble walls are shaded to perfection, and
light sources from torches illuminate hallways. This
beautiful arena, however, quickly turns into a deadly
surprise! Don't gawk at this place too long, or you
will be crushed by incoming bullets in an instant!
This is a moderately sized dukematch level that's
perfect for 2 to 8 people. 3 or 4 is reccomended,
and 8 is a bit crowded, but it is still extremely
fun gameplay with 2 people. There are several neat
effects such as fountains, archways, floating stairs
like those in quake, advanced lighting effects,
cracks, and other neat things. Needless to say, it
took a LONG time to make this level! Enjoy!

* Where to get this MAP file *
This puzzles me....In order for you to be reading this file, you most likely
already have it. If you don't, it will be available at all of the good
Duke Nukem 3D pages. Also, all of my maps appear on the PC Gamer CD.
This will probably be on the February 1998-ish issue. It will be on the
site www.public.asu.edu/~dep70 for sure...and that site will ALWAYS have
the latest version (if there is more than one version).

* Special thanks to: *
Robert Travis and Legion for inspiration; all of the others who helped give
me ideas as well... Also, thanks to all of my map testers: David Garcia,
Jesse and BJ Riddel, Dan Hoffenberg, Clifford Hensley, etc. 3D Realms for
making the best game ever (except maybe Final Fantasy 7)... And, of course,
you for downloading this file. I'd like to extend VERY special thanks to
Legion (whose maps include: Slooth, Cromag, Thunder Dome, etc.) of whom
I got a LOT of help from with my shading and I appreciated his comments.

* Special Note: *
Included with this .ZIP file are 4 music files (m1.mid, m2.mid, m3.mid, and
m4.mid). They are (in order) Ace of Base's "All that she
wants", Mortal's (I think...) "Mortal Kombat Theme", Nirvana's "Heart Shaped
Box", and a song written by someone off of AOL that I downloaded... entitled
"Ncarnate"...written after the guy who wrote it lost his best friend to a
car accident. Be careful with this song...it can make you go crazy with
fear and dark vibes. As you can see, this level can desplay a wide range
of styles according to music... All for the better dukematch!

* Legal Crud: *
This note is legal tender for all...doh! Wait, that's what's written on my
dollar here! Seriously, I don't care what the hell you do with this map as
long as you don't rename it and/or take credit for my work. You can use it
for inspiration or even copy sectors from my map to yours. But...please
give me credit. I did make this all by hand, and I'd appreciate it!
Thanks!
* Have fun with this map! *
