Archive Maintainer      : Set your monitor and in-game brightness slider to 50%.
                          Levels 5, 6, 7, and 8 are complete and will be released 
                          in the near future; level 4 is still incomplete. They 
                          will be the first nine levels of a proposed megawad, 
                          though future levels will take us to the stars, not 
                          to hell. I am releasing these levels as a group 
                          becuse they are linked, as you will see.
Update to               : n/a
Advanced engine needed  : ZDoom or Boom, because of level size
Primary purpose         : Single & Coop play / Deathmatch supported not tested

Description             : The same basic story as the Classic Levels, but with 
                          completely new environments, using the standard id 
                          textures and flats - only the sky has been replaced. 
                          As with the original, the levels get larger, more 
                          complicated, and more difficult as one progresses 
                          into the game. Note: health and ammo will not be just
                          lying around waiting to be picked up, unless they 
                          are next to a dead body, and there are powerups, but 
                          no health or ammo to be found in the Alien sectors.
                          Starting with Level 3, maps are divided into three 
                          basic areas: Human, identified by textures other than 
                          stone 2/3 or marble; Ancient, identified by stone 2/3 
                          and wood; and Alien, identified by marble. They are 
                          not rigedly divided: you may be in a Human area on the 
                          surface, then go down into the Ancient foundation it 
                          was built on, for instance, or transport into it. And 
                          as you will see (if you view the levels in an editor, 
                          the Alien areas, which never map, occupy increasingly 
                          more and more space, especially in Levels 6 & 7.
