Author Info : The statue of Laocoön and His Sons, also called the Laocoön Group (Italian: Gruppo del Laocoonte), has been one of the most famous ancient sculptures since it was excavated in Rome in 1506 and put on public display in the Vatican Museums, where it remains today. The statue is very likely the same one praised in the highest terms by Pliny the Elder, the main Roman writer on art, who attributed it to Greek sculptors but did not say when it was created. The figures are nearly life- sized, with the entire group measuring just over 2 m (6 ft 7 in) in height. The sculpture depicts the Trojan priest Laocoön and his sons Antiphantes and Thymbraeus being attacked by sea serpents. [Wikipedia] Description : The Story You find yourself in the most remote part of the most remote valley of the most obscure mountain chain in one of the most thinly populated countries in the world. Before you is the entrance to the ancient temple you have sought for so long. If the legends are true, and you have every reason to believe they are, you have your work cut out for you. Features: The Pact consists of three maps detailing your journey from the temple entrance to the final destination and beyond. The wad contains levels, music, custom graphics and ambient sounds created by Laocoön. Once you have completed all three levels, you can play them again in the more challenging New Game + mode (map slots 4-6). Additional Credits to : The base texture pack is 32-in-24 15tex. Beyond the new custom graphics, a few additional textures come from Ukiro's Otex package (some leaves and vines, a skull floor) and there are also three meat textures by Makkon.
