===[[E2M1ED.WAD]]===
The '''cyberdemon''' is a towering, hellish marriage of demon flesh and technology, with a gigantic muscular stature, a minotaur-like head with prominent black and gray horns, a gored humanoid torso filled with red wiring, a metallic prosthetic right leg, and a large rocket launcher mounted on its left arm. By far the most formidable enemy in classic Doom, and one of the most intimidating boss monsters in video game history, it is more than capable of taking out a healthy player in one hit from its arm-grafted weapon.

'''E2M1ED.WAD''' is a single-level PWAD designed by Ed Boling. It is notable for being perhaps the first "complete" third-party Doom level ever created (the earlier mods were clearly marked as editing prototypes, or had their architecture deliberately simplified for lack of a reliable node builder). The readme file provides no canonical name for the map.

E2M1ED WAD.png

E2M1ED.WAD

E2M1ED.WAD is a single-level PWAD designed by Ed Boling. It is notable for being perhaps the first "complete" third-party Doom level ever created (the earlier mods were clearly marked as editing prototypes, or had their architecture deliberately simplified for lack of a reliable node builder). The readme file provides no canonical name for the map.

Although the idgames package is dated April 29, 1994, the author posted a release announcement to alt.games.doom on March 24, before the final version of DEU 5.0 was available. The time stamp on the WAD itself is March 23.
