Anonymous	Enjoyable level from back in the day.	x
Anonymous	This is dated August 1995. You fight 231 baddies in a generally crude but imaginative large-scale tech / lava base, with an emphasis on Tyson play for the first quarter. After that it declines, because you get far more rockets than you need, and the only arena battle gives you an invulnerability sphere. It's still entertaining in a simple way. About fifty of the baddies are hidden in a bonus squishing arena you can visit after finishing everything else.	x
Anonymous	A fairly good map, with some nice ideas. Possibly a bit disjointed though in terms of themes and flow. 3.75 stars would be about right.	x

* Play Information *

Episode and Level #    : Map 01 (DOOM II)
Single Player          : Yes
Cooperative 2-4 Player : No
Deathmatch 2-4 Player  : No
Difficulty Settings    : Skill 4: UV++ compared with DOOM. Check out the LMP
                                  if you run into trouble. Hint: Don't waste
                                  shells, it's a map where the chainsaw isn't
                                  only decoration (see statistics).
                         Skill 3: UV compared with DOOM. The goodies are in-
                                  creased a little bit while having 70% of the
                                  skill-4-monsters.
                         Skill 1/2: Easy, only 1/3 of the skill-4-monsters with
                                    massive increase of goodies.   
New Sounds             : No
New Graphics           : No
New Music              : No
Demos Replaced         : Yep. X-DOVE.LMP (Skill 4, keyboard-played, V. 1.666)

Technical Remarks      : This map was developed on a 486/100 for DOOM II 1.666.
                         It should run on higher Versions too. I think the 
                         level will be slow on smaller computers. The secret
                         bonus section in this map is a bit tenacious even on
                         my machine (hey, no stupid comments here :-] ).

Surviving rules        : If you see blood pools on the floor - be careful there.
                         In most cases candles mark important positions.
                         Don't push switches before the area is cleaned of 
                         monsters.
                         Don't run blindly or in panic in undiscovered areas,
                         this level wants to be examined slowly.
                         You don't have to kill anything behind the red-key-
                         locked door ( hehe, ;-) ). The map-layout allows to
                         activate the switch simply by shooting across the area
                         - if you can see the switch between the monsters 8-).
                          
Warning                : If you cheat anywhere in this map, you will be frozen
                         instantly and carried to the penal colony KRAD SECROF
                         on mars. |-/  . The amount of goodies in the bonus
                         section should allow everybody to survive easily. This
                         part is for observing and enjoying!
                         You use this Pwad at your own risk. Any damage to your
                         computer, your health, your girlfriend, your cat or
                         whatever while playing this level is purely accidental 
                         and not related in any case to X-DOVE.ZIP.

Statistics             : Statistics? What's that? Ok, here's the explanation.
                         I simply added the hitpoints of all monsters as they
                         were listed in DOOM6666.FAQ (except monsters in the
                         bonus section). The same was done for all the weapons
                         including those you can collect from killed monsters.
                         The health includes beserk-spheres.
