Description: This is a try to recreate Doom as it would be done in the 80's
            :P.
            My first DM package. So it's not as great as Exec.wad,
            brit11.wad or dwango serie... Remember 80's? Oldschool graphics
            from old arcade games? Expect hyperactive graphics and music, fast
            Deathmatch and a very original concept. It's just weird. Try it!

Base         : Totaly from scratch.

Known bug    : Some wall can hang movement... Don't know how to fix this...
               don't worry it don't happen often. Blinking textures aren't
               bugs.

May not run With... : doom2.exe :)

Modification after beta testing :
               - Fixed cramped gameplay from Map04 (Pacman)
               - Fixed visualy blocking "Welcome to 8 bit DM" on map01.
               - Fixed the time bricks remain down on map02. (Breakout)
               - Fixed some missing weapons, and missing jumping object on map05. Qbert's last Jump.
               - Fixed a lot of bug from the last map, map07, added items, remove camera object.
               - Fixed the bad placed teleport destination for the BFG9000.
               - Added 8bit style weapons by request from Skullers and Sonicice. ;-) It's better.
               - Slowed down the blinking frequency of PURPLE texture.
               - Fixed the random music system, now music change for every levels.
