Description : Believe me, this map is one of the best user maps for
Duke Nukem that you'll ever see. It's quite easier
than my former map "Octopus". "Seaquest" was made to
have a great time while playing.
Action takes place in a kind of sea fortress and
a submarine.
You will see things that I hope will impress you as
nothing before, as this map is the result of four
months of hard work and, of course, hard 'thinking'.
Please, notice how much imagination I've put in here.
"Seaquest" was done with a very high level of
technique that is hardly found in other user maps.
Just watch that building destroy! Also pay attention
to every shadow, light, sound, texture, enemy,
whatever. "Seaquest" is very, very well refined.
The end part of the level is so amazing that you
shouldn't play it if you suffer from heart.
Let me say that the 'Autodestruction' that
I made first had the ceilings coming down, four
consecutive earthquakes, debris spawning everywhere
and lots of explosions, but the game crashed, so I
had to make it simpler.
This map is not very difficult. You will manage to
finish it in half an hour, and I'm sure that you
will be angry when it's over, because of how much
you will have enjoyed playing it.
If you can't find your way, here's a little clue:
shoot the crack below the water, near the building
with a cave in its base.
Please, let me know what you think about this
level if you play it. You can send any comments to
my e-mail adress shown above. I looking forward to
hearing anything you want to say or to receive any
user maps you've made.

suggestions.

Editor used : Build
Known bugs : I only know one, and it is not an actual 'bug'.
Sometimes, you don't get squished (and, therefore,
killed) in the shrinking corridor if you don't
cross it fast enough; instead of that, you stay
'caught somewhere in time' (or in space, in this
case).
It doesn't matter: you will have to load last game
anyway, the same thing as if you had died. And this
also happens in 3DRealms' level "Critical Mass".
Also, the opening sequence will run very, very
slow if you don't have a Pentium.
