Title                   : Birthday Bash (30th bday version)
Filename                : BBASH30
Release date            : 10/12/2023
Author                  : Milkman
Email Address           : [redacted]
Other Files By Author   : Birthday Bash 25 (redundant)!
Misc. Author Info       : Long time DOOM appreciator, first (kinda) time uploader. 

Description             : Single Player campaign, 31 levels. 

			  NOTE: Needs a sector limit removing source port to play.

			  MAJOR NOTE: THIS WAD NEEDS BOTH DOOM 1 AND DOOM 2 IWADS TO PLAY!
			  BBASH-30 uses resources from both IWADS. I would suggest using ZDL
			  or similar front end launcher to achieve this
                          
                          MAP01 - 12: "Petersen"-esque challenge maps
                          MAP13 - 19: Episode 1 (return to UAC), with a sprinkle of Ep 2
                          MAP20 - 30: Hell itself
                          
                          Story:
                          As DOOMGUY settles in for a relaxing evening
                          leading to his birthday, buying his favourite
                          sponge cake and polishing his weapons, ammo, 
			  and taxidermied Imp, he sees a space in his gun 
			  cabinet - a dusty outline of a BFG.
                          
                          Enraged at this scenario, a apparition of the
                          Cyberdemon appears, laughing and taunting DOOMGUY
                          
                          "You want your precious BFG?? You must return from
                          whence you came to retrieve it!"
                          
                          Grinning at the proposition, DOOMGUY gets his
                          favourite (and only) pistol from the cabinet,
                          exactly 50 bullets and steps up the the apparition. 

			  "Show me what you've got".
                          
                          The Cyberdemon laughs and opens a portal, beckoning
                          you to enter
                          
                          "By the way, happy birthday mate" 
                          
                          "Cheers cobba"

                          and right from the start when they were very, very
                          bad.
