Kansam’s trial is a 9 level WAD for the second episode of Doom, created by Kansam. It has been released in several forms. The first, Kansam4, is a shorter release with four levels. The official release of Kansam9 features a full 9 level episode with serious maps, but goofy sounds. A "special edition" of Kansam9 was released in January 2004 by Owen "Sarge Baldy" Lloyd, tidying the WAD and removing copyrighted media. The original Kansam9 release has since been deleted from the idgames archive, presumably due to copyright issues, and is now more difficult to obtain.
