======================================================================= Title : RIKER10.WAD Author : Chris Richards Email Address : Chris-Richards@uiowa.edu Misc. Author Info : 6'3", 180 lbs. Description : Walk down the Corridor of Raw Meat, spend a night in the Disco of the Damned, scratch your head in the Pit of Choices, curse your fate while taming the Rodeo of Infinity. Every room was designed to have a different feel and challenge to it, with the overall emphasis placed on finding yourself in a position you wouldn't have expected just a few seconds earlier. For this reason, Riker10 is a much better solo or cooperative level than it is deathmatch, so I didn't include any deathmatch spots. Feel free to add some of your own if you want to. A good completion time, from The Zombie Shootout to The Apocalypse is about 20 minutes. The end-of-game screen says 30 seconds, but if anyone can do it in that I tip my hat to 'em. Some things you won't see: doors triggered in one place you have to run to before they close, Wolfenstein-type secret door placement, squiggly little hidden things you have to find before you can continue. I never liked these much. The path through Riker is clear and easy to follow, though hidden or off-the-path items can help you greatly. Several spots (one in particular) were designed to be low visability, so if they look too dark for you on your monitor and you have DOOM v 1.2 or greater, press the F11 key to modify the brightness. If the Disco of the Damned gets you down, there is a pair of infra-red goggles, though they're hidden in a pretty tricky place. Enjoy.
