PFHORNICATION LIVES!
by Steve Weintraub (Swein@AOL.COM)


THE NAME.
It's sort of a sequel to Pfhornication II, which can be found elsewhere on the net. From that ReadMe: "After one particularly gruesome arena session, a co-worker announced that playing net-Marathon is better than sex. Well I dunno about that, but I figgered a level designed the right way could come close enough..."

THE LEVEL.
Pfhornication Lives! is a straightforward network level in the Bungie style. It's a bit smaller than Pfhornication II, and seems best suited for 2-3 players, though more can certainly have a grand time. PL! has two things in common with PII; the Tunnel of Love and the so-called "chin slapper".  The tunnel is the underground semi-secret passage, and the "chin slapper" is the leap in the octagonal room where you *might* get the Tozt... If you miss, you'll understand where the name comes from.

THE FILM.
I've included a film from a recent 3-man session.  Aside from seeing us Spank the hell out of each other, it reveals the ins and outs of the level, and, dare I say, a wee bit o' strategy.

ANTI-FLAME ALERT.
Pfhornication Lives! was written exclusively on the best durned Marathon level editor, Phorte PPC (up through v.24). Though I haven't tested it on an '040, I'm reasonably sure it should run. If it doesn't work on your '040, I'm sorry. Please don't TOZT me. 

OTHER LEVELS I'VE WRITTEN.
Pfhornication II  -  A popular d/l  (from what I've heard). Can be found at AOL and Marathon Central at WWW.AMUG.ORG
Main Street, USA - This was never finished, but it's fun to look at. At Marathon Central
USS Enterprise - Another work-in-progress, it's a map of NCC-1701. Fun to look at also, and I'll have a more polished version up soon; perhaps even with textures. Also at Marathon Central.
