Size:	170.18 KB
Date:	12/27/97
Author:	Tom Robinson (aka Mystican)
Description:	This is an effort at converting the much-loved Quake DM3 level (by John Romero) to Doom2. I tried to make it as realistic as possible without adding textures (otherwise it wouldn't properly be Doom2 would it? :) But I did add ambient sounds (very cool)
Credits:	John Romero, of course, for the original level design. Also id for Doom2 :) Jeff Rabenhorst for Edmap, Colin Reed and Lee Killough for BSP, Oliver Montanuay for Deutex and Nine Inch Nails for the ambient sounds (Quake).
Base:	New level from scratch (based on quake dm3)
Build time:	about 3 days
Editor(s) used:	Edmap, NWT, DeuTex, BSP22x, XPAK (for quake snds)
Bugs:	None (i had to add a wall here and there to compensate for doom's crappy visplane limit)

I seem to remember that John Romero had some good words for this when it came out.
