  Once again I've tried to deliver some of the best high-performance
  WADS for your Deathmatching pleasure.  Thought I may never again
  top the quality of great levels in DWANGO5, this compilation again
  promises to be another frag-filled set of levels to give you a
  great alternative to the same ole' boring ones!  As usual we have
  our unqiue set of new music, new sound effects, and even some new
  graphics.

  I've also included in this ZIP the latest SUPERD, which is a great
  utility to use on DWANGO to record your games.  Check it out if you
  are (and should be!) a DWANGO member.  

  Right before the official DWANGO6 release, someone else thought
  they would make their own DWANGO6, which showed me how awful it could
  have looked had I not tried.  Though I didn't do much actual level editing
  when putting this one together, these things still require a little
  work on picking the maps and attemping to match the perfect music
  with the level.  If you are playing against someone and cannot get
  your DWANGO6's to work, check to see if he has the real one.  Chances
  are he got the fake version.  If you run DWANGO6 and hear Descent music
  during the opening part of the game, you have the correct version.  If
  not, then it is the low-quality imitation.

  Also a first in DWANGO6 is the latest DEATHTAG level created
  by Brian Vannatta, author of the Judas and Danzig series.  This
  level is worth checking out, and could surpass Ultimate Deathtag
  as the best of the Deathtag design yet.  A seperate text on
  how to play this Deathtag level is included in this zipfile (JUDAS22.TXT).
 
  Nothing contained in this WAD expresses the views or opinions of IVS/DWANGO.
  This WAD has been released by an individual and is in no form an official
  publication from IVS/DWANGO.

  I did my best to track down the text files for the levels, unfortunately
  several of the levels sent to me contained no author information.  However,
  full credit goes out to all the fine authors who have created some of the
  best Deathmatch levels yet.

A note on music:  To get the full enjoyment out of the music contained
in this wad, pick up something like an AWE32 or a Roland Sound Canvas.
There is a huge difference in the sound quality between that and a card
such as a Sound Blaster 16.  I made sure the songs were tolerable using
the sb16 setting, but they are much more enjoyable when you have a better
card.


For those of you who find the DWANGO art gallery hidden in this
compilation, here is who you are seeing:

            Hummel (Daisy).
Picture 3:  Eric Sokolsky, Alison Leger, Glen Mandell and Mrelite from the
            Seattle server.  Eric and Glen are from Technology Solutions.

Entry Area:

Picture 1:  Lance Lancaster (Aikman) and Tyler Lancaster (Baby Aik).
Picture 2:  Alison Leger and Romine, a finalist at Deathmatch '95, posing
            in front of the $10,000 first-prize computer system.

Downstairs:

Picture 1:  Spriggan, National Moderator from the Seattle server, looks
            as a Microsoft employee prepares a computer for the tournament.
Picture 2:  Alison Leger and Richard Huntley pose as a few unidentified
            tournament players enter the room.
Picture 3:  Rich Vos (Panther - left) laughs as an unidentified contestant
            looks on.



I hope you enjoy this set of levels and feel free to e-mail me with your
suggestions and comments.  Also keep your eyes open for good DWANGO7
levels and please, if you send me WADS, include the text file!
