Title                   : DREAD
Filename                : DREAD.wad
Author                  : Joe Anderson

Description             : DREAD is a four map tech base themed wad for Doom II.
                          These maps are designed for classic Doom style
                          gameplay and progression and each of the four maps in 
                          this wad are designed with pistol starts in mind. 
                          Each map includes 12 multiplayer starts and all four 
                          co-op player starts.

                          These maps are made in Doom II format and should be 
                          compatible with any limit removing source port. However,
                          in order to get the full range of features included in
                          this wad it is highly recommended that this wad be run
                          with ZDoom, GZDoom, or a related source port that can 
                          utilize the ZMAPINFO lump included inside this wad file.

                          For ZDoom/GZDoom users the game will end after MAP04 and 
                          go to a special ending screen. For users of other source 
                          ports such as PRBoom the game will simply proceed to 
                          Doom II MAP05 once DREAD MAP04 is completed.

                          This wad contains a DEHACKED patch for use with older 
                          source ports and older versions of ZDoom or GZDoom that 
                          do not support ZMAPINFO, but certain features such as the 
                          special ending screen after MAP04 will be absent. This
                          wad was tested with and found to function correctly in 
                          ZDoom, GZDoom, and PRBoom.                         

Story                   : It was a peaceful day at the base and you had just 
                          finished your guard duty shift when, for no reason at all, 
                          monsters started attacking the place. So you draw your 
                          trusty pistol and yell "NOT ON MY SHIP!" as you rush back
                          into the base. Do you have what it takes to live up to 
                          your family name and face full life consequences?

                          use of a limit removing source port is strongly 
                          recommended
