Description             : This WAD ports all 36 maps from Freedoom Phase 1 
                          (E1M1 to E4M9) to run perfectly on the original Ultimate Doom IWAD!
                          It includes ONLY the necessary textures, flats, and patches from 
                          Freedoom Phase 1 for full visual fidelity, while keeping 
                          ALL sounds, music, sprites, and other assets from classic Doom 
                          for that authentic 1993 feel. Vanilla-compatible, limit-removing, 
                          Boom-friendly. Play the brutal free level design of FD1 with Doom's iconic audio!
                          Inspired by the epic work of the Freedoom team – total mashup brutal!
