Levels replaced  :  E2M1 -> E2M9

Description      :  

An episode in the classic Doom style. The goal is to recreate as accurate 
as possible the atmosphere of the original id levels. This is a collection 
of the previous classic releases (classic1 - classic7) plus two new levels.
All maps support coop play and maps E2M1, E2M2, E2M6, E2M8, and E2M9 are 
recommended for deathmatch modes.

Thanks to        :  Special Thanks to Vincent Catalaà and Chris 'Ryback' Ratcliff
		    whose detailed feedback allowed me to properly create an updated
		    version of The Classic Episode.

		    Also: Adam Williamson, Radek Pecka, Drew Devore, Joel Murdoch,
		    Joe Pallai, and Xit Vono for providing useful feedback that was
                    implemented into version 2.0

		    when you allowed me to be a part of The Darkening. I
		    am privileged to have brought your classic series to 
		    completion. Thank you, Jan. 

		    And id software for bringing us this great "classic"
		    we call "DOOM".
