Title                   : 1000 Lines 3 - Community Project Version 1a

Description             : A 32 map (with 2 bonus levels) megawad made for vanilla Doom 2, made by the community with a strict line limit of 1000 lines. Using the power of Votex, a vanilla version of the OTEX v1.1 texture pack by Ola Björling (ukiro). 1k3 also features a near totally original soundtrack by AD_79, Psyrus, Dragonfly and Tristan Clark. We also have 4 new monsters and a whole heap of new scenery, some of which was made just for 1k3.

Carrying the story on from the last time, the player must fight through 3 new brutal episodes to end this nightmare once and for all.

However, this time the player will have a slightly beefed up arsenal, but the hellspawn will also have a few surprises for the you...

- STORY - 

You step through the portal after the last battle, ready for what lies ahead. However Mars City was not what you were expecting.. You have been here before, prior to the invasion. 
It doesn't seem like things have changed much, but then you hated this place anyway.

Grabbing your new pistol, you walk once again into the city. Just need to avoid the "Salty Cydonian" pub this time around...
