Anonymous	This is dated May 1996, and it's rubbish. There are precisely two good bits - both of them giant halls that resemble the air shaft from The Empire Strikes Back. The rest is just a lot of straight corridors with monsters behind bars; you've got no incentive to fight anything, not enough ammo to do so anyway, and I straferan through the entire level, including the COUGH epic COUGH end battle COUGH. And, ye Gods, the flashing lights! My eyes!	x
Anonymous	would have been funnier if the author said the prison was now being run by the pentagram instead of the pentagon :)	x
Anonymous	That is one of the silliest descriptions I have ever read. It's always great when the author says "I don't know," in his backstory. Doofus.	x

EMAIL ME IF YOU ESCAPED FROM ALCATRAZ.

Misc. Author Info       : I am a master of science, and this is my
                          first doom wad. please enjoy. This wad was
                          created as the kind of single player level
                          that I like to play. It is extremely
                          difficult, and only for expert doomers. If you
                          have a freind who thinks he's a good doom player
                          then tell him to escape from alcatraz, if he does
                          it, then tell him to do it three times, without
                          saving. If he does that,.... then he's good.

Now Take the challenge, escape from Alcatraz.

                          well..... I don't know, but suddently the lights
                          go out, screaming, a riot, you "knock" down a guard,
