Misc. Author Info       : This is my 2nd WAD. I was originally going to
			  make this replace the entire first Episode, then
			  I figured the levels were kind of standard and
			  if someone wanted better, they could find it
			  pretty easy so I gave up. :)

Description             : (This takes place during the events of Doom I)
			  UAC has found something else on Phobos. It's
			  another complex, with 4 buildings. You were
			  sent to investigate, and found an alien base.
			  You nickname it Area 53 (Area 51.. same kind
			  of thing.. :)

I don't know where I got one of the new music tracks in this game. E1M1 I 
found in my Internet Explorer's cache, so I'm sure it came from someone's 
web page. Where, I don't know. If you know anything about it, tell me, 
and I'll put the person's name in here for credit. As for E1M4's music, 
I think you'll recognize that one. I downloaded that from a MIDI web page
a while ago.

* HINTS *

This WAD isn't just a shoot 'em up. This is a puzzle. Different doors
lead to different keys which open up different doors and so on. If your
looking for a blood bath, this isn't the place. Also, beware of drop-offs.
If you fall into some areas, you can't get back out. But don't worry.. the
acid will melt away your skin in no time!
