Description             : A set of Boom-compatible maps for Doom II with a
                          decidedly Lovecraftian theme to the second
                          and third and a fourth to stop the player 
                          from advancing. Also a MAP30 to avoid DeHackEd
                          shenanigans.

                          can to minimize the chance of it happening, but
