Description                     :  Your brother ventured into Hell to save 
                                   the Earth. Now the military has left him
                                   there for dead.  For weeks now you've
                                   heard your brother in your dreams, calling
                                   your name.  You know he's ALIVE!  Now,
                                   against direct orders, you plan a rescue
                                   attempt.  (See the accompanying file

Special Thanks                  :  To Jim Flynn, Asst., Action Games Forum
                                   at Compuserve, for his unparalleled
                                   knowledge of Doom, and his patience in
                                   answering questions.

                                   Danny Tillotson & Philip Inglis
                                   for additional creative contributions.
                                  

Additional Credits to           :  My wife Minnie, who's favorite thing to do
                                   is look at my level and say, "That's nice.
                                   Is it too late to change it?"  Also, she
                                   insisted that I add the trickles of
                                   nukage flowing down the wall in the
                                   sladwall room of Level2. So if you saw the
                                   trickles, and thought they were neat, then
                                   you have her to thank. And, if you thought
                                   that there were too many Archviles running
                                   around, blame her! They're her favorites.
                                   (There honey, are you happy, I gave you
                                    credit!!!!)

           *This episode was truly intended as a single-player experience,
            but I did provide deathmatch and co-op capabilities.  However,
            I was unable to test each level for this, so I am cannot
            guarantee that it will be error free in deathmatch/co-op mode.
            If you play a deathmatch or co-op game and have problems, I am
            sorry, but it is unavoidable.  E-mail me a description of the
            error and what was going on in the game when it occurred, and
            I'll see if it is fixable.
