        This two levels have been especially designed for COOP PLAY
        ( very hard in solo !!! ).

        The first one takes place in a large space ship which doesn't respond
        anymore. As a space marine you are send on board to check  if
        everything is alright !!!
        The second level brings you to a military complex on a distant planet
        where the research on the alien life form as turn to drama.


        The two levels have been longly tested so you won't be trapped
        in some hole ( there's always an escape : ---> look for small ridge ) 
        and the gameplay must be there : be advised that those two levels are
        suited for experimented players !!!

Description             :  After some long hours spending in the dark levels
         of ALIEN-DOOM WAD, i decided to make my own ALIEN based adventure !!!
         Be indulgent, this is my first level, and making everything alone
         takes so much time !!! [ i will do better next time ;) ].

   THE TEAM : 
         - ALIENS : They are terribly fast and they jump at you when you
              are out of range. They only bites, but they can eviscerate you
              in a couple of seconds, so avoid contact !!!
              The best weapon to terminate theim is the Flame Thrower.
              The M-40 canon is also a good choice because of it's fire
              frequency.
              Once dead, the molecular acid is still active, take care of
              your new shooes !

         - FACE HUGGER : small and fast, when close enough, they jump at your
              face and don't give up easily !!! Better shoot theim first !!!
              The best friend of the space marine, when one is sighted, is
              the Shotgun. The Flame Thrower is heavily unefficient...

        - EGGS : They spawn Face huggers.

        - SENTINEL : An automated guardian flying above the battle field.
              It fires laser and spred small bombs when close enough.
              Not so aggressive as Aliens but difficult to hit.
              The pistol is of no use and the Shotgun or the Flame Thrower
              may be the best weapon to kick theire metal ass !!!
              When dead they explode.

        - BATTLE TANK : An heavily armored battle tank firing missiles and
              droping automated mines !!!
              Better know how to strafe and how to run or you will learn how
              to die !!!

        - AUTOMATED MINES : small mines homing to their target with a deadly
              accuracy ! Shoot theim before the kiss !!!

    TIPS :
        - In the first level, a Map is available by pressing F1
        - Don't forget the Medikit key  ----> very usefull
        - When attacked by a face hugger, flee and try to shoot it from
          distance.
        - The Flame Thrower is a very efficient weapon, but 50 rounds aren't
          a lot. Spare your shoots for the great meetings !!!
        - The RPG is one of your enemy : only use it when you are sure
          you won't blow away with your Alien friends !!!
        - When in a single game, don't forget to save often !!!
