Description:         This is a translation of a classic Descentr level.
                     I have modified it to enhance it for anarchy play,
                     so there are more weapons than necessary for solo.

Note:                This level will be included with other translated
                     levels in a Mission called Sirian's Classics. Look
		     for this multi-level mission some time in summer '96.

Comments:            Spreadfire and lasers are the main weapons here. You
                     can find a plasma, but you will have to look for it.
                     I removed one wall and the section with the yellow
                     key, then added new tunnels to open things up. This
                     should enhance the strategy significantly.

Special Note:        I know that others have already translated all of the
                     original D1 levels, and that Parallax is going to put
                     out a patch to allow players to use D1 levs unaltered,
                     but I am still going to complete my Classics mission.
                     My translations include balancing available weapons
                     to enhance anarchy play, especially for larger games,
                     and gradually increasing difficulty in bot selection
                     over the course of the series, for co-op play that
                     even the best will find challenging.
