Misc. Author Info : This is the first community project I hosted

Description : The Tower of Babel is a 40-map megawad built by 25
talented, beautiful, and humble mappers where your
goal is simple : ascend the enigmatic tower, floor
by floor, and discover what awaits you at the top -
if there is a top, that is. On your climb, you'll
encounter galvanic techbases, hellish strongholds,
dazzling Doomcute, and... pizza (or gutza, whatever
the locals call it) - all crammed into the coolest,
Doom 2 vanilla-textured 1024 x 1024 maps around.
The wonderful synergy between maps make this
megawad a really enjoyable one. The higher you go
into the tower, the better it gets. So much so,
that you will be wanting more at the end.
