Description             : This is a collection of 27 Doom1 wads which have
                         been converted to Doom2 format usind WadCat and
                         Wad1to2.  They are deathmatch wads specifically
                         designed for 2-player DMing.  They are, in my
                         opinion, the very best doom1 wads, both in terms
                         of playability and design.  The conversion process
                         changed some things that could not be helped, and
                         the various doom2 editors out do not seem to let me
                         correct the problems with ease, so some levels,
                         such as ledgesi, may be a little different than you
                         may remember.  Nevertheless, these wads are the very
                         best out there.  When I converted them I changed all
                         the shotguns to super-shotguns. Make sure when you
                         play them to use the -timer option; otherwise
                         you will not be able to exit some levels.

                         They are, in order:
                         madmax
                         bigempty
                         jhldth1
                         par-002c
                         pueblo
                         house
                         myhouse
                         tnplhome
                         usqe1m1
                         kill
                         church
                         tourney
                         hitmeinf
                         ledgesi
                         subway11
                         area8
                         joi-cm1
                         blob
                         slapme
                         butt
                         trideath
                         peace
                         markroom
                         phucked
                         ledges4i
                         markrm3
                         october

                         These wads look excellent as well as play well.
                         Manyof the top ranked wads on the DM Wads
                         ranking sheet play well but are designed poorly;
                         not so with these wads.  I have played hundreds of
                         different wads, and when these wads were converted
                         to Doom2, a very important and beautiful change
                         took place on many.  You first see it in the 4th
                         wad, but you get the full extent of it in Pueblo
                         wad.  Im sure the author had this in mind when he
                         made it.
                         Some notes on each wad:
                         Madmax: this is a new wad, but an excellent start-
                         ing wad.  The music is fitting; it is a pleasant
                         surprise, seeing as how the sounds and music come
                         from blob.wad.  You will see what I mean.
                         Bigempty:I made some minor changes to this, but it
                         still remains an excellent shotguns-only wad.
                         Jhldth1: This is my all time favorite wad.  Its fun
                         to play in, fun to wander around in, and any style
                         of fighting can be used.
                         Par-002c: I think this was named something else
                         originally but Im not sure what.  I got it out of
                         another wad collection as I could not find it on
                         the various sites.  The background fits the theme
                         well, but not as well as in...
                         Pueblo: absolutely beautiful.  Well designed,
                         originally made for a pro tourney, but never used.
                         Unfortunately the oven texture gets pasted onto
                         the wall of the BFG secret room in ledgesi for some
                         reason during conversion, and other places too,
                         but its no big problem.
                         House: A classic wad.  Nothing but fun.  Well
                         made, with weapons placed strategically.
                         myhouse: A very recent wad, but lots of fun.  Goes
                         after house perfectly.
                         tnplhome: Another home, wad, I made minor changes
                         to it to make more weapons.  Check out the toilet
                         and the stove.
                         usqe1m1: This is a college Student Union I think,
                         and its a lot of fun to run around in, although not
                         quite in the same vein as with myhouse.
                         kill: Another college building wad.
                         church: I tried to add a missle launcher to this, but
                         for some reason the editing program wouldnt let me.
                         But I did add deathmatch starts (which it did not
                         previously have) and some shotguns and other weapons.
                         Remember, God does not like BFGs on Holy Ground.
                         Tourney: A wad created for a tournament.
                         hitmeinf: a good arena wad, lots of fun.
                         ledgesi: The conversion process made minor changes
                         to make this wad not as fun (it removed the missle
                         launcher for some reason) but it is still the all-
                         time classic wad.
                         subway11:Like church, this wad was not originally
                         for deathmatch play, but the minor changes I made make
                         it a lot of fun. You will see why when you meet up with
                         a guy in a tunnel.
                         area8: This wad looks neat, and is fun to play, although
                         the strategy level is not quite to the level its design
                         would lead you to believe.
                         joi-cm1: Oh Joi!  A small castle wad
                         blob: This wad is the largest in the collection, but
                         you can still find frags pretty easily.  Its a good
                         hunting wad.  This is where the funky sounds come from.
                         slapme: Another tournament wad.
                         butt: This one has lots of secrets, another classic wad.
                         Trideath: a good set of arenas.  The dark is fun.
                         Peace: another classic.  There is a secret here which
                         will hand you the match if you find it.  Watch the lmp
                         for clues.
                         markroom: the classic arena wad
                         phucked: an interestingly designed wad, annoyingly fun
                         to play in.
                         ledges4i: ledges's big brother.
                         markrm3: transporters can be annoying but also fun.
                         October: another small castle wad, well designed.

                         When you play this wad, I suggest you put in a -timer
                         5 or 3 or 7 limit in it so you can go through all of
                         them.  Our floor will be using this for a tournament.
                         Thanks to all the guys on my floor
                         who helped with the selection process; you don't
                         know how long it took me to weed through all the wads
                         out there and combine them in the proper way.
