Title : Needle Time (aka St Duke Hospital)
Date Finished : July 30th 2005

Story : You're Duke Nukem and you're running through halls
and corridors to find buttons to push to... err...
unlock things and stuff. So you can reach the exit.
Description : It's a simple Hospital-themed map. I tried to make
it detailed even if you're mainly running to halls
from stairs to lifts to halls and so on. This map
is kinda large so you may lose yourself (don't
worry, it's not that large anyway).
Levels by this Author : Wow... so many, I can't count them (and it's far
too so I don't remember). I also made maps for
Blood, Shadow Warrior, Quake, Half-Life, Quake3.
But I never released any.
Additional notes : I haven't build maps for years but I finally
decided to make this one because I discovered
that there was still a lot of Duke Nukem 3D fans
(no really, I thought I was the last fan standing
on this planet :) ). It's my first release because
I keep thinking I could change or add a few things,
then some other and so on… so I easily spend days
to adjust a texture… then I realize "ho man, I'd
never give my maps away, I would be disappointed
later"… gees.
Additional Credits to : 3D Realms, Ken Sileverman, JonoF, Monolith,
Id Software, Bloc Party and David Bowie (c'mon, you
can't spend hours without music, can you?)...
Thank you for ready.
