============================================================================ TITLE : My mansion (house) FILENAME : 649.map AUTHOR : Bodhi E-MAIL ADDRESS : kn_vancouver@yahoo.com MISC. AUTHOR INFO : Tooth-fixer by day, amateur architect by night. DESCRIPTION: This is a really COOL map based loosely on my house (yeah, right!) after I win the lottery sometime in the near future, hence the name 649 (all Canadians will know). It contains many things that my present house doesn't, like 2 pools (indoor/outdoor, check out the pools- I'm quite sure you haven't seen anything like them before in any other user-made levels), 2 tenis courts, 2 fountains, a threater, a library, ballroom, sauna room with whirlpool, exercise room, etc. You will need to get all three access cards to finish the level, please don't use the cheat codes, it will take all the fun out of it. Just listen and observe for hints carefully and you should be able to finish the level.
