Levels replaced  :  E2M1 -> E2M9

Description      :  

An episode in the classic Doom style. The goal is to recreate as accurate 
as possible the atmosphere of the original id levels. This is a collection 
of the previous classic releases (classic1 - classic7) plus two new levels.
All maps support coop play and maps E2M1, E2M2, E2M6, and E2M8 are recommended 
for deathmatch modes.

Thanks to        :  The Darkening Team
