Description             : You are sent to do battle for the humans to the
                          Doom2 (tm) base on the planet Altair1. You will not
                          fail! This is the first level in the Altair series
                          of PWADS. It was designed to be the first level and
                          takes a little longer than ID's first level. It was
                          also designed with fast play action ultra violence
                          in mind, but there are two easier difficulty
                          settings. I don't and have never played deathmatch, 
                          so it isn't supported. The level does include
                          player positions but no ammo or weapons for
                          deathmatch. It does include ammo and weapons for
                          single player and cooperative play.
                          
                          You start out in a lower portion of the base. Play
                          proceeds through winding corridors and rooms. Along 
                          the way you battle imps, chaingunners, shotgunners
                          and troopers. Sorry NO Cyberdemons! (This is meant
                          to be level one you know.) There are many secret
                          doors which are identified by their different
                          textures. The secret doors do NOT show up as doors
                          on the map. The level has the usual items, and many
                          surprises. (Well... the guys at work liked it! :-) )
