Misc. Author Info       : I'm 20 years old, and I'm from India. I
			  hardly play Doom any more, you can have a
			  look at the other stuff I do on my blog.

Description             : This map is heavily inspired by Episode 4 of
			  The Ultimate Doom, especially E4M1 and E4M6.
			  It was originally made for a project called
			  The Ninth Gate that never saw the light of day.

			  Most of it was made (on and off) during
			  2001-03 using DoomCAD (the exit area was built
			  using Doom Builder though). I didn't know you
			  could select multiple linedefs in DoomCAD back
			  then, so I was actually insane enough to
			  manually select each and every linedef, apply
			  the texture and align it. If only I had that
			  kind of patience/time now :)

			  The map is very straightforward (too
			  straightforward maybe?), so you shouldn't
			  have any problems finding your way. The level
			  music is from Duke Nukem 3D, the other 
			  tracks (which are awesome IMO) were composed
			  by Damian Lee.

			  Note: The lava in the map doesn't hurt,
			  it's used for artistic purposes only.

Advanced engine needed  : Requires any limit-removing source port.

Other WADs by me        : (1) The Anomaly: Part II
                          (2) Short 'n Quick
                          (3) Short 'n Quick 2
                          (4) Reanimated

Special Thanks to       : Pablo Dictter and Opulent for beta-testing and
                          very useful feedback.

                          Karthik Abhiram for testing the level at
			  the lower skills and for general suggestions.
			
			  Damian Lee for the awesome music.

                          You guys for playing!
