                          http://edge.sourceforge.net
                          (it should run fine with EDGE 1.25 (unreleased as of now))
      WILL NOT RUN WITH : DOOM.EXE, DOOM2.EXE, or any other source port

-------------------------
       GAME INFORMATION :
-------------------------

                   MAPS : map01
          SINGLE PLAYER : Yes
 COOPERATIVE 2-8 PLAYER : No
  DEATHMATCH 2-8 PLAYER : No
    DIFFICULTY SETTINGS : Yes
             NEW SOUNDS : Yes
              NEW MUSIC : Yes (high quality MP3, written by me)
           NEW GRAPHICS : Yes (titlepic and main menu top)
           NEW TEXTURES : Yes
              NEW DEMOS : No

-------------------------
            SETUP NOTES :
-------------------------

                          Unzip RUINS.ZIP to your DOOM2 directory, open a DOS prompt in
                          the same directory, and type: ruins

                          EDGE 1.25 will have MP3 support, EDGE 1.24 does not.

                          However, you can load an MP3 player, like Winamp, play RUINS.MP3
                          in a loop, then run RUINS. Most PCI sound cards (like a Sound
                          Blaster Live! sound card) can handle the resource sharing.
