>}============================= AUTHOR'S NOTES 31 YEARS LATER ============================={<

June 21, 2026

Hello, I'm Charles Plemons, and I created and released this WAD into the wild in December
of 1995.  That was 31 years ago as of this writing!  

I remembered and rediscovered this file while watching Doom: Annihilation (2019) for the
first time.  

The levels were abbreviated the "NOSSATAN" WAD file which is a combination of my high school
nickname, "Nosferatu" and "Satan" for how difficult these levels were designed to be.  

A lifelong player of Dungeons & Dragons, several of these levels had their floor plans 
lifted straight from the Undermountain maps from Forgotten Realms.  

I was 17-18 years old when building these levels, which is pretty evident in their design 
and the accompanying text files.  I even referenced my younger brother (13 at the time) in 
the tips and tricks file.  

Searching the Internet, I discovered there is still a thriving Doom ][ community, so I 
decided I'd put these files back out on my website for download.  I hope you find these
levels fun and challenging!

Level 1 - Ruins of Undermountain

        Created based on maps of Undermountain (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons).
        Large level which can be beaten WITHOUT codes!
        No plot or continuous theme, just monsters and ammo.
        Very large, and poor Deathmatch level (due to size, not that it
          doesn't support it).

Level 2 - River of Blood

        Totally homemade level with a blood river running throughout it.
        Also can be beaten WITHOUT codes!
        Many hidden doors, tough monsters, and cool rooms.
        Beware the room of ten Hellknights!

Level 3 - The Abyss

        This little beauty is great for deathmatches.  
        Totally original.
        Can be beaten WITHOUT codes!
        Many revenants and lost souls and a multitude of hidden passages.

Level 4 - The Catacombs

        My little demon graveyard, complete with embalming chamber!
        Totally original and can be beaten WITHOUT codes!
        WARNING: Contains occult overtures (altars, inverted crosses, etc.)
        Great for Deathmatch!
        Contains my favorite room known only as Splat!

Level 5 - Screaming Slave

        (Named for the /\/ / \/\ song of the same name)
        Hardest level yet, but can still be beaten WITHOUT codes!
        First level to contain a BFG9000.
        Large rooms with huge opponents, okay for deathmatch.
        Totally original.

Level 6 - Maze Madness

        You will hate me for this one.
        As always, can be beaten WITHOUT codes.
        Many traps, hidden doors, and MAZES!
        Cool rooms.
        Hope you like Pain Elementals.

Level 7 - The Temple of Set

        Very easy, very short level.  
        However, it is visually stunning, including a temple dedicated to Set.
        Few enemies, sort of a breather from the other levels.
        Can be beaten WITHOUT codes.
        Enjoy.

Level 8 - Return to Undermountain

        Huge level, based on the map of level 1.
        New traps, new challenges.  
        Can be beaten WITHOUT codes.
        Supports deathmatch, but it is too large for it.
        Many hidden dangers and rooms.

Author's Note:  There is also a nossatan tips and tricks.txt file with tips and clues on
                how to play and beat the nossatan levels.
