Other Files By Author   : Anything that ends in _X.
Misc. Author Info       : I am hopelessy addicted to doom. I also like playing
                          the saxophone. Not really much else to say.

Description             : This is another complete weapon conversion that I
                          have made. The catch is, all (but 3) of the weapons
                          can only be used when you're close-up to the baddies!
                          It may sound like a stupid idea, but I've tried to
                          balance it out by making the weapons very powerful.
                          For instance, the Flame Cannon will kill most baddies
                          in one hit, the Buzzsaw is insanely fast, and the
                          Sonic Blaster works wonders on large groups of enemies.
                          There are a few weapons that are ranged weapons, but
                          one of them is very weak, and the other 2 have very
                          little ammo. Use them wisely. Well, I at least think
                          this deserves an A for originality, although it won't
                          work too well with many wads. Oh, well. Just another
                          experiment gone too far.

Additional Credits to   : Randy Heit, for the godly Zdoom! Numerous others that
                          I can't seem to think of right now.

                          If you try it and find that the tazer is firing
                          bullets, then you need to try another port.

===========================================================================

* New Weapons *


1-Psychic Burst*- It may be wimpy, but it's ranged and has infinite ammo.

1-Flaming Chainsaw- The name says it all! It shoots out flames as it chops
baddies. Try it if you don't believe me!

2-Tazer- ZAPP!!! Good weapon, and is affected by berserk. Always keep at hand.

3-Flame Cannon- Very Powerful. It kills most baddies in one shot. However, it
has a very short range. Use with caution

3-Thunder Burst*- Like the Psychic Burst, only pumped up like a Muscle Man on steroids
(without the dangerous side-effects). However, It spreads so much, it's still not
very useful at extreme ranges. Plus, you can only fire 10 shots at max. Use wisely.

4-Lightning Gun- It has the longest range of all the weapons, but it's not quite
as powerful as most of them. It's still a good all-around weapon, though.

5-Buzz Saw- Like the Chainsaw, only pumped up like a Muscle Man on steroids
(without the dangerous side-effects). It has a short spin-down time, though, and
requires very close proximity to the target.

6-Sonic Gun- The Sonic gun's wide bullets are devastating to large groups of enemies.
It may be a bit unfriendly to your ears, though. ;)

7-Anti-Boss*- Like the Thunder Burst, only pumped up like a Muscle Man on steroids
(without the dangerous side-effects). Try it! You'll like it!


(* indicates a ranged weapon.)
