Author Info : Sometimes i dream about cheese Description : Mercurial, or "VME1", which stands for Vexed's Speedmapping Event #1 is a megawad, inspired by original Doom IWAD "The Plutonia Experiment". All maps were built in a limit of 10 hours by various mappers, from ambitious begginers to a sharks of DooM mapping. Main gimmick of this mapset is that all levels were balanced to a specific mechanic - fast monsters. Early maps may be quite simple, but starting with the 10th map, everytihng becomes significantly more difficult, but still beatable.
