The Crazy Level Compilation (Ten Levels)

**Description**

This is the final compilation of the Crazy Level series.  It contains
nine of the original levels in optimized form as well as one never-
before-seen level.  In addition, a completely new soundtrack has been
included.  

These ten levels are meant for anarchy or flag play, but you can play 
alone for practice as well (no need to edit the .MN2 file).  Based on
responses from players as well as my own thoughts, I've decided to 
replace Motion Factory (formerly Crazy 4) with a completely new and
much better level (Ender's Armageddon).  In addition, the other nine
levels have been slightly altered to make them even better.  Textures
may have been changed, weapons added or changed, but in general I've 
attempted to make the levels the best they can be.  

The soundtrack was composed by myself and all songs are completely 
original.  They aren't composed as skillfully as D2's original MIDI 
songs, but they do provide a good change of pace.  I've optimized them
for a Roland Sound Canvas, but even lesser cards should play them
with satisfactory results.

Here's a listing of the levels:
Level	Title
=====	=====
  1	Hydrophobia
  2	Golden Swift
  3	Absolute Limit
  4	Ender's Armageddon
  5	Terra Terror
  6	Crimson Crash
  7	Retro-Bution
  8	Grindstone
  9	Shockwave
 10 	Meltdown

Sorry, but there's no caption for Ender's Armaggedon.  

=Legal Jargon=
Actually I don't know the proper legal terms, but in short: You may
distribute this level in its entire form given you include this .TXT
file.  You may not modify this level for redistribution.  Also, you
may not use this level for any commercial purposes without my express 
written consent.  If you want to use this as part of a compilation or 
demo CD, at least tell me about first.  Are you listening, PC Gamer?

In addition, all songs are copyright 1996 Luke Schneider.  All rights
reserved by Last Productions.

=Level History=
As of this writing I've made about 30 Descent and Descent II levels
(not all 30 are available at this time). 

This is my first level compilation, but look forward to more soon.  
I originally only intended to make 5 Crazy Levels, but I became so
adept at making anarchy levels I could do one in less than 5 hours
on the average.  Here's what else you should look for by me for
Descent II:

Mega Deluxe 2-Kicks Mega Death's ass.  'Nuf said.  Look for md2.zip
on Turtle's Web Site and Googer's Crazy Page (see below).

Xtreme Racing-Out now!  Five levels of one-on-one flag play at its 
very best.  You've never played anything like it before.  Look for 
it on both Crazy pages.

Havoc (Part I)-The mini-sequel to the Crazy series.  Three levels of 
high-action anarchy/flag play optimized for one on one action.  Look 
for it in the D2 level contest on Interplay's web site (coming soon 
if not there already).

(Something Else)-That's not the name, but I do have something big 
brewing on the back-burner that I can't talk about yet.
 
=Crazy Web Pages=
You'll find all 10 Crazy Levels in their pure form on:

Thanks Matt and David!  

=Who I am (Luke Schneider)=
I'm a computer science student at the University of California, Irvine
and currently available for work (hint!).  In addition to creating
levels for Descent and Descent II, I also happen to write MIDI music.
And I'm pretty good with 3d art as well.

Thanks to Matt for helping me test lots o'stuff and everyone else
for the feedback on the Crazy Levels.
