Description:     This is my first Q3 map and also my first experience with
                 Q3Radiant. It is designed mostly as a Quake 1 style map with
                 a more claustrophobic setting than most other Quake 3 maps.
Credits:         Ctrl.Del(Sugar Monk), Paul Jacquays and everyone else at
                 Q3World forums. id Software, Mr Elusive and Robert Duffy for
                 bringing us the great programs without which there wouldn't
                 even be a quake community. Myk, who introduced me to Quake for
                 the first time and has given me many ideas from his
                 inspirational level design. My friends at uni for not letting
		 me wander too far into the dark side :) ... YOU, AT THE BACK,
		 WAKE UP!!!
