Well, well, well ... What have we here? Fancy yourself a vidmaster do you, eh? Think you're hot shit, do you? Well you're not. Welcome to the Evil Petting Zoo's own take on a classic Marathon feature. We call it Vidmaster's Nightmare. You'll probably call it a dozen swear words and then some. Where are my manners ... My name is Soliptic. I'm the ring leader of this twisted sideshow. This is the first piece of Vidmaster's Nightmare. This level's name has two meanings, can you guess them both? That's the only hint you get. Oh wait, that's not true. There is a twist this time around. There is a time limit for completion of this level. The moment you step out that door to your right an invisible timer begins. When the screen goes white that will be your life flashing before your eyes. It also means you have failed. Good luck, you'll need it. ... And no, I'm not going to tell you how long you've got. It's a surprise.

Pay attention maggot, this will be on the test. Do you see this door here to your right? If you do then it means you forgot one teensy, tiny, insignificant, minor thing. HEY! Look up you pathetic sicko. Good. Now that I have sufficiently humiliated you ... If the door is closed you still have something to take care of ... What, do you want me to spell it out for you?? How about this ... time passes ... tick, tick, tock, tock the door is locked get the chip, stop the bomb or your life will be gone if the way is already clear, then you have nothing to fear ... yet ...

Mongrel ... dog ... how dare you ... This transgression cannot be forgiven ... Luck. That's all it was. Nothing more. Don't get cocky. I think I'll hand you over to my friend, the unpronounceable symbol. He knows what to do with those who don't know their place. You will find that vidmasters don't wake from nightmares so easily.
