(Just be sure not to stare at him for too long before you start running.) As usual, you dispatch what fiends you may and begin the task at hand.",

Anderson (aka Dr. Sleep)\nE-mail Address          : drsleep@hooked.net\n\t\t\t  Drsleep5@aol.com\n\nAdditional Credits\t: Rapha?l Quinet and Brendon J.

Ramey and Sebastian Kirke for BETA critiques\n\t\t\t  and other witty and useful suggestions;\n\t\t\t: Patrix for being such a swell guy;\n\t\t\t: My pal Howard \"Desdinova\" Rider for his patience;\n\t\t\t: Morgana and all the folks in Gamers;\n\t\t\t: Nicholas Bell, who started it all with DOOM PITS;\n\t\t\t: And, of course, those id guys\n\nDescription             : CROSSING ACHERON is the second level in the INFERNO\n\t\t\t  series.  Having passed through DANTE'S GATE and\n\t\t\t  survived, you now find yourself in a keep on the\n\t\t\t  shores of the river Acheron. This is the second\n\t\t\t  leg of the journey in your search for Beatrice.\n\t\t\t  Your guide, Virgil, is nowhere to be found.\n\t\t\t  \"He's buggered off!\" you think to yourself; but\n\t\t\t  you have no time now to even think: you are\n\t\t\t  immediately challenged by several Demons, and in\n\t\t\t  the distance you hear the eerie purring of the\n\t\t\t  Arch-Vile. (Just be sure not to stare at him for\n\t\t\t  too long before you start running.)  As usual,\n\t\t\t  you dispatch what fiends you may and begin the\n\t\t\t  task at hand.\n\n\t\t\t  Your goal?  To get the hell out of this place as\n\t\t\t  quickly as possible and find your beloved Beatrice.\n\t\t\t  You only hope that she has already passed through\n\t\t\t  this hell-hole to a safer haven beyond.  If only\n\t\t\t  you could hold her in your arms again, you know\n\t\t\t  what you would say:\n\n\t\t\t  \"Give me some sugar, Babe.\"\n\n\t\t\t  CROSSING ACHERON (pronounced 'ak eron) is the second\n\t\t\t  level in a series that began with DANTE'S GATE. The\n\t\t\t  third is VIRGIL'S LEAD. For any of the two or three\n\t\t\t  of you out there who have read Dante Alighieri's\n\t\t\t  THE DIVINE COMEDY -- or even only \"Inferno\" --\n\t\t\t  I'm sure you've been able to appreciate the many\n\t\t\t  allusions to this work in DOOM. I have tried to\n\t\t\t  take a tack of my own along the same lines. (I do\n\t\t\t  this not only because I think the idea is neat, but\n\t\t\t  so that people will think that I'm very clever.)\n\t\t\t  I'm not so na?ve as to expect everyone to rush out\n\t\t\t  and get a copy of \"Inferno\" (I mean, it IS pretty\n\t\t\t  tedious stuff, at times), but it's well worth the\n\t\t\t  read -- and a little patience is a virtue that is\n\t\t\t  often well-rewarded.\n\n\t\t\t  (By the way: Acheron is a river in Hell (basically).\n\t\t\t  But don't look for any rivers in here: I tried it\n\t\t\t  several different ways and just wasn't convinced.)\n\n\t\t\t  Thanks.  Hope you like it.\n\nInstructions\t\t: Put ACHERON2.WAD in your DOOM directory, type\n\t\t\t  \"doom2 -file acheron2.wad -warp 3 -skill <#>\"\n\t\t\t  (Or, to play moderately at first, also put the file\n\t\t\t  ACHE2.BAT in your DOOM directory and type ACHE2.)\n\nDisclaimer\t\t: I assume no responsibility for anything of any sort\n\t\t\t  in any way, shape, or form--now, then, henceforeward\n\t\t\t  in this life (or the next several) for any screw-ups\n\t\t\t  or even minor inconveniences this PWAD causes you,\n\t\t\t  your family, your relatives, friends, ancestors,\n\t\t\t  associates, employers, pets, neighbors, lovers,\n\t\t\t  congressional representatives, nor any other person--\n\t\t\t  living, dead, or undead -- that you have or will ever\n\t\t\t  have any contact with in even the slightest form.\n\t\t\t  This PWAD has been tested and tested ad infinitum, so\n\t\t\t  it shouldn't mess with your computer or anything else\n\t\t\t  remotely associated with it.  But if it DOES, then\n\t\t\t  that's the way the cookie crumbles. Don't come cryin'\n\t\t\t  to me.  It must be something YOU did.  If you don't\n\t\t\t  like it, lump it. (I ran out of clich?s.)\n\n================================================================\n\n* Play Information *\n\nEpisode and Level #     : E3\nSingle Player           : Yes\nCooperative 2-4 Player  : Yes\nDeathmatch 2-4 Player   : Yes\nDifficulty Settings     : All\nNew Sounds              : No\nNew Graphics            : No\nDemos Replaced          : No\n\n* Construction *\n\nBase                    : Remake of CROSSING ACHERON for DOOM 1.xxx\nBuild Time              : A really, really, really long time\nEditor(s) used          : DEU 5.1, 5.21, and 5.21GCC by Rapha?l Quinet\n\t\t\t  & Brendon J.
