This is a little fiddling I did with the "Showered With Grenades" map-- it makes it into one hell of a vicious solo map.  

I added a shield recharge station and escape route to the "fortress", lots more ammo, and tons more monsters.  This is *perfect* for when you feel like standing atop the Wall and just laying waste to hordes of onrushing bad guys...

I also included a physics model which makes the AR-75 both better and worse:  It shoots minor compiler bolts, which do more damage but travel slower.  It can be devestating, but the projectiles are too slow to get you out of some situations... use with wisdom.  (Besides, it looks soooo cool when you sidestep back and forth and let those bolts just drift into the ranks of oncoming aliens..)  The grenade is now a rocket launcher as well.  Oh, and the .44 has been... adjusted.  Other tinkerings are that some of the aliens now drop appropriate items when they die.

If you can last more than about two minutes (while actually MOVING) on this map with the original physics model, at the TC setting, you can consider yourself an Ultimate Marathon Studboy.  The rest of us will be using the Model.... <grin>

One final note:  This was done on Phorte, which has a reputation for muddling the maps if you play them on a 68k machine if they are created on  a PPC (and I did use a p-mac.)
