Description          : Single player/Deathmatch level for Quake.
                       You start in a "treehouse" in a forest. Making
                      your way through a small cave to end up behind
                      a waterfall. This leads into a "dam" (for lack of
                      a better term.) Along the way, you will find 
                      monsters, weapons, ammo, medkits, secrets, traps.

                         count at the end won't be accurate.
Installation and play   : Unzip to Quake\Drastic. From a dos-prompt, start 
                          Quake with: quake -game drastic +map drastic
                         Deathmatch was tested with Reaper and Zeus bots.
                         However, all new monsters and items will fall out
                         of the level if used as deathmatch level. If anybody
                         really cares, I can update the entities lump to
                         be just the regular Quake monster and items.
