Misc. Author Info       : First played Doom at the age of 7 on a Windows 
                          98 computer with no speakers.

Description             : 32 maps for vanilla Doom, each one made in one 
                          hour over a period of 3 weeks. Bear in mind that
                          all of these maps were designed for pistol start,
                          so be prepared for a rough ride on continuous
                          play.

Story                   : The demons have tried a new tactic: instead of 
                          fully occupying Earth, they've started to place
                          high-powered Entropy Devices in several different
                          places around the world. If so much as one goes
                          off, demonic corruption will spread over the 
                          earth and obliterate all intelligent life. You
                          have been selected to combat this threat, but be
                          wary: time is running out...
