Description:	A new Doom II level set designed to be played without jumping (as that would break most of the puzzles.) Made with Single Player in mind; there are still 4 player starts for Cooperative, as well as deathmatch starts/items in every map.

Base:	New from scratch.
Build time:	6 years... Yeah... I know.
Editor(s) used:	Doom Builder 2 (v2.1.0.1356) Doom Builder (v1.68) (Before upgrading to DB2.) SLumpEd (v0.7) Paint Shop Pro 9 (v9.0) Audacity (v2.0.4) ENDOOMER (V1.0.1) (For Version 1.1) - SLADE (v3.0.2) (For Version 1.2) - Adobe Photoshop CS6 (v13.0 x32)
Bugs:	Exiting MAP04 has crashed the game on me a few times, but it's very rare. It might be triggered if you cross both exit linedefs at the same time. In MAP05, one time the script tied to the Arachnatrons failed to run. I've never been able to get the bug to reproduce, so I'm not sure what caused it. Also, playing in cooperative can make some levels easier, as they can "cheat" some of the puzzles if working together.

Zalewa	Anything that uses Doom64 audio promises insanity and this WAD does not disappoint. Expect corridors long to THE EXTREME as you listen to the unplugged toilet drain pipe that is Doom64 music. Wonder and ponder why some sounds are replaced with Doom64 moans but others are not. Marvel at disgusting texturing that pays tribute to the worst level design like Dark Forces or that Bethesda Terminator games. Ambitious architecture shows author's strive for good maps, but fun is NULL. Poor, poor, poor!	x
DoomSpiel	I played an older Beta of this from a different forum. I can't really tell what changed since then, except for the unmaker (which is metal as hell AND HIGHLY underutilized in this wad). My main complaint is the lack of monsters in the moonbase maps. The hell levels are absolutely wicked tho and worth the play through especially the secret level and level 7 the bridge one	x

This is Doom II: Purgatory, my 9 level set (8+1 secret level) for Doom II. There are new resources, including things sourced and edited functionally and visually from Realm667 and Doom 64/PSX Doom. There are also entirely new sounds and music (for intermission and boss.) Compared to the original Doom II, there are two new weapons, and one new monster, the boss Old Abaddon. One of the new guns is rare (it appears once in the entire campaign) and is a form of The Unmaker originally referred to in the "Doom Bible". This is designed to be played without jumping, because like classic Doom, it will break some of the puzzles. The map design is supposed to be challenging in the way that Doom 64 is, with puzzles and level flow rather than simply adding lots of monsters. There are a lot of secrets hidden in this campaign, as well as a secret level. Any of the work that I've done (that isn't map design) is free for anyone else to use, such as the intermission song written by a friend of mine, and the unique audio I did for the final boss. I hope everyone that plays it enjoys it.

MUSIC/FX - 
Title and Level music is from PSX/64 Doom .wads originally written by Aubrey Hodges. Original music used in the intermission was composed by Anthony A. specifically for this level set. Sabine H. and Corey H. performed the audio for Old Abaddon. Both the intermission music and Old Abaddon sound effects can be used by other authors in their modifications as long as credit is given to Purgatory as the source. The Unmaker firing was a set of edited sound effects from the Doom series.
