Description             : 11 SP & 4 DM maps for DooM2.  2.4 Mb when unzipped.
			  Issue2 contains a few bug fixes.

			  You need a registered version of DooM2 or Final Doom to play this.		  
			  This wad is not exclusive to any source port and will run with v1.9.
                          
			  These maps are mainly small but 'ultra-violent' - you won't find many 
			  'former humans' here!!  Very challenging - be warned!

			  The DM maps were never playtested so if they are crap, sorry!

			  Map 31 is an unfished map by Malcolm Sailor which I have modified.

			  SEND ME YOUR DEMO'S WIMPS!!

Special thanks to:	  Anthony Soto for playtesting and giving me publicity on his most
			  excellent web site, go check it out at http://thefish.8m.com

			  Doug Merrill, Michael Mesko, Chris Hansen, Joe Pallai & John Carr
			  for playtesting.

			  My wife Ness for tolerating my doom 'habit'
                         
			  idsoftware for DooM - best game ever!
