Description:	THE STORY: Your wandering around the martian moon landscape when you stumble across an odd structure built into the side of a mountain. A closer look reveals the entrance of a castle with two watch towers. "What in Hell is this?" you ask yourself. It would appear as if some architect had too much time on his hands. Anyway, it seemed quiet now, maybe too quiet. BETTER CHECK IT OUT! This is the first four levels of my episode where the theme is set in a castle environment that is meant to be a challenge.

Anonymous	I like this set. These maps are pretty classic, with their neat texturing, continuous levels, and atmospheric lighting. I seem to recall a version that was a full episode, but with a misplaced secret map (leaving it you would go back to the previous map.) Donce made a good Nightmare! run here: http://www.doomworld .com/vb/showthread.p hp?s=&threadid=33756	x
Anonymous	I don't care about age, and I actually love to play old maps, I find it nostalgic, plus I am Mr. Oldschool :) - MasterOFDeath	x
Anonymous	I've played this WAD long ago with the name of cphobos5.wad. It's the DOOM2 version... ten maps... it's alright. Although that version has a few flaws, it's certainly better than this.	x
Anonymous	Average.	x
Anonymous	CRAP!	x
Anonymous	Yes, it's old, it has a few flaws, and it doesn't have any fancy port stuff, but it's still a fine one for me (played it first time years ago).	x
Anonymous	Bleh...and don't give me any "it was made in '94 so cut him some slack" because the year a map was released has no effect on how good it is. The map is crap because the map is crap, end of story.	x

Archive Maintainer      : (Small note by the uploader:)
                          These wads have been released on BBSes and found
                          their way on the "Doomania"-level-cd.
                          cphobos.wad that contains only E2M1 - E2M4 came
                          together with the cphobos.txt within the archive
                          dmcpho.zip. (File Date: 11-June-1994)
                          cphobos2.wad  (File Date: 11-July-1994) contains
                          E2M1 - E2M5 and as secret level E2M9. It came
                          without a text-file that would describe the two
                          additional levels, but i take it for shure that
                          they are also the work of  David G. Shrock.

This is the first four levels of my episode
                          where the theme is set in a castle environment
                          that is meant to be a challenge.
                          There are 3 Demos to watch.

LEVEL 1:  Castle Entry

The main entrance to this castle seems to lead inside a
        mountain.  What could lay inside the mountain?
