Two large and complex maps; overall there is enough action to make it worthwhile. Map02 is the better of the pair; map01 has more annoying features and is more repetitious in design and gameplay. Your playing experience will depend on how quickly you notice or hit upon what you're supposed to be doing. There are a lot of staircases, passages, walkways and moving platforms, in a mostly non-tech, not-so-hellish environment. To find the exit you'll need to press or shoot some non-obvious switches and doors.

Author's Comments:

HLZGATE.WAD was originally started as a Classic DDOOM .wad and then
converted to DOOM ][. It's setup for all modes and should be a worthy
deathmatch level. If you don't do the route through this level correctly,
an arch-vile will resurrect half the monsters on the level for you <grinz>
ok not quite that bad... but watch out.

HLZALLEY.WAD is the alpha-test project for the **Doom Construction Kit**
w/ Doom ][ support. DCK RULEZ ! READ THE DOCS ALREADY... and trust me you
will like it better than *anything* else for actual dungeon designing. Love
me some DCK action! Unfortunately the coder can't make $$$ off the work (?)
so he's shelved any future releases. No Doom ][ support patch is available..
but you can try whinE-mail :)

The level is meant to be brutal and unforgiving in the extreme. Do not
attempt ultra violence unless you don't mind getting your ass kicked. If
you are one of the few non-mouse players left.. let me give you a clue: get
a mouse! Doom ][ is way too chunky without a fast 486 w/ 8 megs RAM and a
fast video card. I can't wait to upgrade and play modoom at 28.8 :)

This level should be equally entertaining as a coop or deathmatch
level, but it is highly recommended that you learn the level first in
single player mode.  If you can complete this level in under 30 minutes you
are a true doom god, but expect to spend an entire evening playing this
level if its the first time. There are a few different routes through this
level but I suggest you go left at the start.

PS: no spider/cyber-demons or bfg's in any mode for either level.
