JagDogger2525	Awesome. I enjoyed it throughly. If this is the same DarkWolf whom did darkmeth.wad (Dark Method) and JH.wad (Justified Homicide), please contact me. I have been trying to find you for the past 4-5 years and would love to get in contact with you. Otherwise, please disregard that message.	x
Zalewa	This is something in-between 3* and 4* - the opening map is nothing special, but it's an opening map. The second map is a bit bland but quite nice, but the final map ups this image and plays well and still looks basic but good. In overall - it's a fun WAD.	x

* Long Description *

It's been over 10 years since I did any Doom editing.  I was building
a script to make SVG images from Doom maps when I came across 2 maps I made
for a DOOM Episode 1 level pack.  I was working on this with a person named 
"Stitches", but it was never finished.  The only trace I could find of this 
project, originally called Star Portal Crisis, was a Legacy movie demo WAD I 
made back in 2002!  And this didn't use any portions from levels that we
specifically created for the project.

Since the levels never got a proper release, I decided to jump back into
Doom editing, at least to get them published.  Since I have no way to contact
the other author, I am only releasing the two levels I built, plus a new E1M1
so the player doesn't have to worry about selecting the right level.

The old maps were made with WinDEU (ewww, I know) and the new map plus editing
was done in Doom Builder.  The maps are meant to be played in order, and I 
spent the most time tweaking the Ultra-Violence difficulty.  The difficulty and
light levels were tweaked using Chocolate Doom, so some ports may be too bright,
or make things too easy.
