                                Game Palace bbs

  Game Palace started on 04/07/94 as a small bbs for users to obtain the
  latest patches and upgrades available for PC Games.  I personally got
  tired of calling long distance to get the latest patch or upgrade and
  figured a bbs would help.  I have never ran a bbs prior to this and I
  just got my first modem in December of 1993.  (Yes, I'm a newbie!) <g>

  As a DOOM addict, I figured why not cater to this awesome game.  There
  were alot files out and more coming!  I started by adding one file area
  for DOOM on the board, but that wasn't enough.  I now have 30 file areas
  devoted to DOOM and will probably have to add more in the future.
  I gained users from all over the U.S., Canada, Japan, Europe, etc.
  In 2 months!  The demand for DOOM had increased so much, I had to delete
  alot of other files to make room on my hard drive.
  Unfortunately, I only have one computer so I don't get to play as much
  as I would like to.

  Right now as of this writing, I have over 1,300 WADS and 260+ megs of DOOM
  files online.  Since I get so many new DOOM files daily, I created a 
  "DOOMlist" which contains all the DOOM files on Game Palace bbs.  This
  is updated nightly!  It is called "DOOMLIST.ZIP"

  Game Palace is located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida (USA)
  (305)587-4258
  I am the Sysop there and I can also be reached on Internet at:
  gamepal@gate.net
 
  Game Palace bbs is the official site of many popular WADS and DOOM files:
  Aliens-TC
  Trinity
  Cheese
  Forest**
  Hallspro
  Test2kil
  Mudrox13
  Elements
  DOOM Check 
  and much more!

  Long distance users are given immediate access to the bbs and files!
  There are no upload/download ratios and the bbs is FREE!  Users can
  be upgraded by request to allow for more time and downloads per day.

                                Command Lines
 
 There are command lines within DOOM2 that can be used when intially 
 running the game.  For more information on exactly what all of 
 these lines mean, pick up "The 'Official' DOOM2 FAQ" by Hank Leukart.

 These can be several followed by eachother for various effects such
 as warping, recording a demo, respawning monsters, or taking .PCX

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          PWADS (Addon external levels)

 PWADS are external levels made by people with level editors.  These
 PWADS ("Patch" WADS) are inserted with the command line "-file" and
 allow you to play a new level!  For complete information on PWADS,
 check out "The 'official' DOOM2 FAQ" by Hank Leukart or "DOOMWAD"
 by Steve Huskisson.  "DOOMWAD" is available at Game Palace BBS.
 Hank's FAQ is available on bbs's all over and on Internet ftp sites.
 (See below)

 To run a PWAD file, make sure the new level is in your DOOM2 directory 
 and from there type:

 "DOOM2 -file <xxxx.wad>"        
 
 Where the xxxx is, substitute with the name of the PWAD, and include
 the .WAD extension.
 An example would be:  "DOOM2 -file cool.wad"

 You can combine PWADS in one line.
 There are also sound files on PWADS that are ran the same way.
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                LMP (Demos)

 An .lmp file is a recording of a game of DOOM2, either single player or
 a deathmatch game.  You can even make a recording of your favorite
 PWAD file.  These are fun to sit back and watch, as your friends dueled
 on Deathmatch, or if you need to know where secret rooms are!

 To record a demo type at the DOOM2 directory:

 DOOM2 -devparm -record <demo name w/o .lmp>

 Do not include the .lmp.

 To record your favorite PWAD type at the DOOM2 directory:

 DOOM2 -file <pwad.wad> -devparm -record <demo name w/o .lmp>

 To play back the demo type at the DOOM2 directory:

 DOOM2 -devparm -playdemo <demo name w/o .lmp>
 or
 DOOM2 -file <pwad.wad> -devparm -playdemo <demo name w/o .lmp>
