Description:	Its night, you're in a dark graveyard, you're surrounded by imps, and all you've got for defence is your pistol.... Things don't look good, but perhaps that light in the distance offers sanctuary... Thus begins GRAVEYD.WAD, 3 new levels for DOOM I, designed for single player, with lots of attention to theme, detail, and architecture, and runable on low end systems!
Credits:	Id, and the creators of DCK
Base:	New levels from scratch
Build time:	Don't ask. Ok, on and off over about 5 weeks...
Editor(s) used:	DCK 2.0, DCK 2.2
Bugs:	In one place I've noticed a stray vertical line if you're standing in just the right spot, but it shouldn't affect play. NOTE: If you change the levels to a different episode but don't change the new sky texture appropriately, some things will look very strange!

* More info on the levels *

E3M1:   The Graveyard
E3M2:   Beyond the Gate, Part I
E3M3:   Beyond the Gate, Part II

Why 3 levels?  This was originally conceived as a single level,
but when I finished the first part it had become quite large
(due to detail, not actually a large map), so I made the second
half a new level. Unfortunately the second half got even bigger, 
to the extent where it wasn't really playable on my system (see 
below), so I split this part into 2 levels.

Why not a whole episode?!  Maybe one day... or in 3-level installments :-)  
(OTOH I might try some DOOM II levels next...)

These levels were designed and playtested on my 386DX-33 with 8MB RAM,
using a full Doom screen (with status bar), and low graphics detail, 
so speed shouldn't be a problem on most Doom-able systems.

There are multiplayer starts and some extra weapons, but these
haven't been tested.
