Levels Replaced : E1M1 -> E1M9
Doom Port : This wad should work on any modern Doom port. It has been
tested on prboom, zdoom and gzdoom.
There are some extra (g)zdoom specific lumps present but
they are not strictly required to play this episode.
For best visuals, I HIGHLY recommend you play this on
gzdoom.
Tools Used : WinDEU 5.24, Yadex, XWE, BSP, GLBSP ZenNode, The Gimp

Description:
-------------
There you have it... yet another episode in the Classic Doom style! This is
a collection of previously released levels under the "classic" flag (namely
classic10 and classic11) and some new levels. Originally the idea was to
release a mini-episode of 3 levels under the name "Classic Trilogy", but I
ended up with more than 3 levels, so I decided to try something different
and create a full episode based around a HUB level to which you return after
each level. I've always wanted to try that idea.
-------
Story:
-------
The events takes place on the planet Mars, parallel with the events on the
moon bases of Phobos and Deimos.
You are a marine, stationed as a guard at a UAC military research facility:
The Singularity Complex. At this facility experiments are carried out with
gravitational singularities to enable faster than light travel or even
interdimensional jumps. The military applications of such a technology are
obvious.
Of course, the UAC wouldn't be the UAC if they didn't screw up big time and
you just happen to be on duty when the brown stuff hits the fan. Isn't that
just your luck?
Your primary mission objective is containment: you must travel to the 4
locations on the planet that are linked to the Complex, eliminate all
threats, return and close down the gate. Finally you must shut down the
Singularity: a gateway to hell itself...
Secondary mission objective: survival.

integrated them into another unfinished level of mine, so some
areas may already seem familiar. This version is 100% my own
incarnation though.
