A rather professional looking multilevelled hotel map, with great attention to detail and magnificent shading. Voyeur Hotel is a very energetic, well thought out level with many places to visit, as well as plenty of enemies and powerups to keep you reasonably entertained.

Title : Voyeur Hotel Filename : Hotelvoy.map Hotelvoy.txt Author : Blackjack E-mail : Blackjack666[at]hotmail.com Web Page : Misc. Author Info : Other Levels : The legendary "BIOIB" UKEDF Commando Bottom Paris The story : This follows on straight after Duke blows away the Cyberlord at the end of "Shrapnel City" - but before he goes for some R&R. Killing off the Cyberlord was only the first step in saving LA from the aliens. The main attack wave contained many thousands of aliens, most of which are still at large in the city. Duke is now faced with the task of eliminating pockets of resistance in LA with the help of the EDF and the LAPD. His first stop is the "Voyeur Hotel" - situated near the LA airport in Beverley Hills. Your Briefing : The Voyeur Hotel is a good quality hotel attracting rich travellers and businessmen for short stops in the city. Unfortunately the aliens have realised the strategic importance of the structure and have made it into a fortress to defend it against attack. Firstly the building is a block long on all sides, containing many rooms. Intelligence suggests that the aliens have also built a nest with which they hope to produce more slimers to enslave the population. This is probably situated in the lower levels. Secondly, the close proximity to the airport prevents the EDF flying in further reinforcements. Thirdly, the building is rumoured to contain a tight security network of hidden cameras, making a commando or SWAT team attack impossible. One man may stand a chance, however. YOU have been ordered to flush out the building, then find and set the auto destruct sequence. If you fail then the building will be bombed from high altitude. The bombing will destroy the whole block and damage buildings nearby. All residents and personel have been evacuated from the area, but emergency vehicles are on standby. Good Luck. Desciption : This level is the only one I have found to make use of hidden cameras. These are made by constructing an alcove with a camera inside and masking the wall off. You`ll find a central control room belonging to the hotel`s owner somewhere in the building... As usual the level is pretty straight forward with a number of keys. There is some very good shading and light effects on this level, perhaps even as good as 3dRealms level :-) Additional Credits To : You`re old friend 3dRealms for doing most of the work in the first place! Also I drew some inspiration (with the cameras etc) from the film "Sliver" with Sharon Stone. Other thanks go to Jonah Bishop for his FAQ files.
