Author:	Pete Kolts (Psyborg)
Description:	An invasion force has taken an old mining camp and converted it into a base in which to implement the destruction of our world. They constructed devastating explosives and chemical weapons. Their plan worked, and we were unable to stop them in time. The Enygma Camp became Ground Zero, your mission is to go there and eradicate the invaders, and set the self-destruct, guarded by 2 HUGE monsters which we have never enountered before. You must prevent a repeat of the Enygma Disaster.
Credits:	Justin Rowe, Mike Gasperian for some design help ------------------------------------------------- Weird Al Yankovic, because I was listening to his albums whenever I was designing the level :)
Base:	New level from scratch
Build time:	About 6 months on and off, although it didn't come out quite the way I wanted it to, some parts are kinda boring.
Editor(s) used:	DCK v3.61, WARMDos-that crashed when the level BLOCKMAP was too big. Then I used ZenNode that comes with DCK. I used WARMDOS for the REJECT table
Bugs:	2 bugs: 1. the switch by the energy field, walk back and forth and keep trying to press it, it doesn't always work. 2. At the part with "Run" and "Run Fast" (you will know what I mean), DON'T TURN AROUND. If you do, it will crash the game and drop you to dos with a "visplanes overflow". So even with the Imps in the next room, don't fight them, just run. Any other wrong things you find about it, please tell me! Also, please send any comments you have about it to me.

everennui	A Chore. It seems like they were trying to push the engine to see what Doom could handle, but they didn't focus on gameplay. When you first enter you're greeted with firesticks that you have to try and squeeze through.	x
Anonymous	The readme made me do a little double-take with the use of "ground zero" a few years before September 2001. Level starts pleasantly enough for its time, but it follows a nice derelict train station with a huge and tedious underground maze, which is followed by another huge underground maze, and then a smaller maze (of cell blocks). Tedious, absolutely tedious. Other two levels are novelty arena fights, you can just run to the switch and leave.	x

* Play Information *

Game                    : DOOM I/Ultimate Doom
Episode and Level #     : E1M1, E1M2, E1M9-if you can find it.
                          NOTE: If you go to E1M9, you will automatically
                          be brought back to E1M4 at the end, in which case
                          you will have to exit the game. At the end of E1M2,
                          you can also exit, as that is the end of the game.
Single Player           : Yes
Cooperative 2-4 Player  : Yes, untested, possibly not enough weapons and ammo
                          and health for 2-4 people. Of course if you want
                          to make it a co-op WAD, just put some other
                          goodies in there.
Deathmatch 2-4 Player   : Only E1M1, untested, but it seems very good. Again,
                          If you want to make it a dm WAD, just add/modify
                          or move items as you want to.
Difficulty Settings     : Easy = 1, 2 and 3. Hard = 4 and 5
New Sounds              : Yes
New Graphics            : Yes, some textures from Doom 2 that I needed and
                          some that I made myself. (e.g. energy field)
New Music               : Yes, some midis that I got from www.midifarm.com
                          E1M1 is music by Nirvana
Demos Replaced          : One, watch it only if you are totally lost in the
                          level, because it shows you EVERYTHING.

* Construction *

Base                    : New level from scratch
Build Time              : About 6 months on and off, although it didn't come
                          out quite the way I wanted it to, some parts are
                          kinda boring.
Cans of Coca-Cola drank : Over 1,000 ;)
Editor(s) used          : DCK v3.61, WARMDos-that crashed when the level
                          BLOCKMAP was too big. Then I used ZenNode that
                          comes with DCK. I used WARMDOS for the REJECT table

Known Bugs              : 2 bugs:
                          1. the switch by the energy field, walk back
                          and forth and keep trying to press it, it
                          doesn't always work.

2. At the part with "Run" and "Run Fast" (you will
                          know what I mean), DON'T TURN AROUND. If you do, it
                          will crash the game and drop you to dos with a
                          "visplanes overflow". So even with the Imps in the
                          next room, don't fight them, just run.

Any other wrong things you find about it, please
                          tell me! Also, please send any comments you have
                          about it to me.
