Reviews:

TheMightyHeracross	An MSPaint SSG replacement, bad muzzle flash on that Doom Alpha rifle, Blood cultist sounds for the imps, and some resources that were UNCREDITED (i.e. Duke Nukem RL). Sorry, WildWeasel, but this .wad was very, VERY disappointing.	x
Anonymous	This should really be in the "combos" directory; it's a lot of new graphics and sounds. The resources are borrowed from elsewhere, and as a consequence the wad is indistinguishable from a hundred similar weapon replacements. It even has the "Aliens" door sound that was common back in 1995. Dated 2002, but seems much older.	x
Anonymous	I love that BFG sound.	x
Anonymous	I agree.	x
Anonymous	(self-review) In retrospect, this really isn't that great of a WAD, and I wish I hadn't released it (but I'd like to leave it here now, because it's a piece of history and proof that anybody can improve over time). -Weasel	x
