Description             : The Tower of Babel is a 40-map megawad built by 25
                          talented, beautiful, and humble mappers where your
                          goal is simple : ascend the enigmatic tower, floor
                          by floor, and discover what awaits you at the top -
                          if there is a top, that is. On your climb, you'll
                          encounter galvanic techbases, hellish strongholds,
                          dazzling Doomcute, and... pizza (or gutza, whatever
                          the locals call it) - all crammed into the coolest,
                          Doom 2 vanilla-textured 1024 x 1024 maps around.
                          The wonderful synergy between maps make this
                          megawad a really enjoyable one. The higher you go
                          into the tower, the better it gets. So much so,
                          that you will be wanting more at the end.
