08/16/97 ================================================================ Title : Ghost Town File name : Ghost.zip Author : Roger Staines Email Address : eas@interlog.com Description : Well it's different, Hope you enjoy it. Oh yea, there is a story below which really is worth reading. Other Works : King Soloman's Mines, MBB7, Quake Combat School, The Secret Society, The Ancient Aquaduct. ================================================================ * Play Information Single Player : Yes (in two very different ways, see note below) Cooperative : No (is there really a point) Deathmatch : Yes (Try It, I think you'll like it) Difficulty Settings : Yes (see note below) New Sounds : No New Graphics : No Demos Replaced : None Source Included : No There are 45 monsters in normal skill and 75 in hard skill. Because no one ever really uses the easy skill I loaded it with 101 grunts and the odd enforcer and all you get is the double barrel shotgun. Make sure to try this map in easy skill for a true old west non stop shoot out. In fact it is my favourate way to play the map. * Construction * Base : New level from scratch Editor(s) used : Worldcraft Build Time : Originally built in February '97, entities added August '97. Known Bugs: : Well that sad looking rope bugs me, but I say it stays. Not a bug but you will notice the doorway between the main square and the train station is a teleport, I had to make it this way because the engine wasn't happy with that door open. There are lots of shells, don't worry you can never run out, what the hell this is the old west afterall. *Thanks To* Id Software, (hey John, sorry about the story but I hope you enjoyed it.)

Quake Dude has been dispatched to clean up a mess with the "Space Time Condominium" as he understands it. (Hey, the mans a soldier not a scientist for cryin’ out loud) It seems the Quake hell armies have been dispatched to this particular time and location to bump off Wild Bill "One Nut" Carmack, apparently the great great great Grandfather of someone very important to a future time. Why the nickname "One Nut"? Well, the details are sketchy at best, suffice it to say you should have seen the other guy. Well ol' One Nut runs a farm on the edge of town, authorities have him in a safe location but it seems he left two keys behind. Dispose of the two keys and get out, thus assuring One Nuts' safety. Apparently he left one key in the bank vault and the other he HID on his farm somewhere. This story was written with all due respect to John and his great great great Grandfather. Thanks for a great game John :)
