description: four-level mini-episode.
THE STORY: unknown to most, the aliens have a secondary reason for
being here; our transporter technology. our system ( fixed point-to-point ),
is closing the gap with their system ( variable point-to-point ). and they
don't like it. earth defense forces, in cooperation with transdynamics,
was working on an advanced prototype, continuous sustained transmission
system ( the current process being known as single burst transmission ),
and had succeeded, just prior to the alien invasion. they were operating
under the guise of 3drealms, out of one of their old facilities.
THE MISSIONS: level one -- recon of EDF office complex. level two --
uptown. level three -- downtown. search for transporter to alien home world.
level four -- liberate the EDF facility, before the aliens can establish
a permanent presence. intelligence reports only a small advance team,
so alien resistance should be minimal. however, the facility itself has a
number of built in defenses on-line, which you will have to deal with on
your own. you will be traveling light, with an issue sidearm, and shotgun.
good luck, and remember: intelligence reports should be taken with a
grain of salt.
THESE LEVELS ARE NEITHER MADE , NOR SUPPORTED BY, 3DREALMS.

comments: due to the lack of difficulty setting, health and ammo are limited.
these levels were done on a nv/hl 1000 ( my own brand ) p133, with 24mb
system memory, 512kb pipeline burst cache, and a 2mb diamond
3d card, using the atomic edition v1.5. frame rates average out at
about 20 to 25, dipping down to 15 in some spots. this is at
640x480 svga. 340x240 runs roughly 40 to 50 or better. on my
machine. individual results may vary, especially on a 486.
if you have less than a dx4/100 and 16 mb, you may be wasting
your time.
at first, i had intended to do a six-part episode, but have left off at
four in favor of stand-alone levels, although there will probably be some
sort of tie-in. while i plan to continue doing duke levels, my next effort
will probably be done for either blood, or shadow warrior. i should
have something else out by years end.
HINTS: if you've read this far, you deserve something --
don't waste your explosives. use tactics. there are plenty of corners
and such to use for cover. some buttons are hard to find, so examine
everything. and remember: things are not always what they seem. under the guise of 3drealms, out of one of their old f
