Misc. Author Info       : 25 year old Doomer from India, for more
                          info, have a look at my site 
                          http://karthik82.com.  There's lots of stuff
                          over there, both Doom and non-Doom related.

Description             : This is a map that was created in 2003 as
                          "E4M1: First Gate" for the project "The
                          Ninth Gate".  However, as that project remained
                          incomplete, this map was never released.  Now
                          that the maps from the project are being
                          released individually, you can now play what
                          would have opened that episode, retitled as
                          "The Hazard Variation"!

                          I actually made another E4M1 back in 2001 for
                          the project but as that was too primitive, it
                          was discarded and replaced with this.  I am
                          eventually planning to release an updated
                          version of that map as well.

                          This present map is one that I am really
                          proud of.  I think it turned out nicely in
                          both the looks as well as gameplay department.
                          It's quite an easy map as it was supposed to
                          be the first level in an episode.  Still,
                          I think the pacing of the level is good and
                          I hope you'll have fun playing it!
