        TITLE:  Pyramid: The Alien Beneath

        MISC.AUTHOR INFO: I'm just your typical, average day kindda person...
        ...yeah right!  I have adopted the nick name "Lashiec" from one of my
        most favorite RPG's, "Phantasy Star IV".  I just love making Duke
        levels!  Well, that's enough about me, on to the story.....

        STORY LINE:  In the depths of Egypt, a mystical pyramid suddenly
        becomes erect.  Many of the archeolgists (sorry for the spelling)
        have tried to gather information on this new temple of evil, however,
        none have returned to supply the information needed.  Elsewhere, in
        a deep, out-of-the-way government research facility, a meeting was
        held to ponder on what to do in the current situation.  Over 15 arch-
        eologists have "vanished" without a trace.  General Kauslorich, a
        man of honor and virtue, volunteers his best, and I mean best,
        soldier, Duke Nukem, a chance to solve the mystery of th enormous
        pyramid.  The counsil agrees and Duke is sent out on a mission: crush,
        kill, and destroy!  But Recently, a great hord of aliens were
        unleashed onto the surface of the planet.  No alien ships were
        detected by the satilite.  Then, the General brings up a shocking, yet
        interesting point.  He asks, "What if this mystical pyramid, that has
        suddenly appeared, may have some kind of connection?  Perhaps, it may
        even be an alien vessel that crashed here......."

        DESCRIPTION: This level mainly revolves around group of three pyramids
        that are of different sizes.  One being kindda small, another being
        of average size, and a third "monsterous" one.  This would have turned
        out to be an episode, but I couldn't find any one to help me with the
        level making.....I'M ONLY ONE PERSON!!!

                To be perfectly honest, this level took me about 5 months
                before I was finally satisfied with it.  THIS IS THE
                UPDATED VERSION!!!

KNOWN BUGS:  I've spent part of that 5 month period just disposing of them,
             so I hope there are none.  If you by any chance come across one,
             feel free to email me and I'll fix them.
