Description:	Your on vacation on Antares 3, sitting by the pool drinking Martian beer and watching the latest in scratch and sniff holoporn from Earth. A bellboy walks over and hands you a phone. It's Central Command. It seems the UAC boys at the Phobos1 research lab have been screwing around again and now they have a situation their security forces can't handle. The last report received from the facility indicated that the base had been overrun and that the enemy had begun to make "modifications". A UAC strike team which had been sent in have not been heard from since they landed. Your Orders: Proceed immediately to Phobos... Rendevous with your team in orbit.... Your Mission: Regain control of Phobos1 at all costs.... Everything was normal as you boarded the drop- ship. Reentry went smoothly and you were cruising 30,000 feet above the surface of Phobos, heading for the base. Your buddy nudges you and asks you to jerk his finger. You're just about to oblige when suddenly the ship lurches. An explosion, screams, then the lights go out.... You wake up in a pile of smoking debris. You're glad to be alive. Unfortunately, your buddies haven't been so lucky. You see the lights of Phobos1 in the distance. It's all up to you now....

Anonymous	lol, holoporn. But anyway, average map.	x
Anonymous	just pure DOOM fun. enjoyable to explore, with lots of interconnected rooms. a true old-school romp. 4/5 NT	x
Anonymous	Grand tableau que j'ai passe an 7 vie a fast UV 100% kills. Aurait pu avoir 1 pts de plus pour meilleur ajansement de texture. - 3/5 - Eye's	x
Anonymous	I'm sorry, I don't know what enthralled the other reviewers so. This is a poorly done map, with drab dark corridors, pointless rooms and fights, random texturing (not everywhere, some areas do look nice), and a highly confusing progression. The area at the end (behind the red key door) is okay, if a bit nasty, and there are a few good sections, but it's not enough to save this one from the pits of mediocrity. --2/5	x
Anonymous	A nice large and kick ass map :). I like it. - High Flyin' Ryan	x
Anonymous	This is definitely one of the finest examples why old != crap. Great gameplay and quite a few attempts at what could be considered 'detail'. Lots of fun. 4/5 - Belial	x
Anonymous	A good and quite large map. Fun to play (UV and no saving recommended), and some care is needed towards the end.	x

Description             : Your on vacation on Antares 3, sitting by the
                          pool drinking Martian beer and watching the
                          latest in scratch and sniff holoporn from Earth.
                          A bellboy walks over and hands you a phone. It's
                          Central Command. It seems the UAC boys at the
                          Phobos1 research lab have been screwing around
                          again and now they have a situation their
                          security forces can't handle.

The last report received from the facility
                          indicated that the base had been overrun and that
                          the enemy had begun to make "modifications". A
                          UAC strike team which had been sent in have not
                          been heard from since they landed.

Your Orders:    Proceed immediately to Phobos...
                          Rendevous with your team in orbit....

Your Mission: Regain control of Phobos1 at all
                          costs....

Everything was normal as you boarded the drop-
                          ship. Reentry went smoothly and you were cruising
                          30,000 feet above the surface of Phobos, heading
                          for the base. Your buddy nudges you and asks you
                          to jerk his finger. You're just about to oblige
                          when suddenly the ship lurches. An explosion,
                          screams, then the lights go out....

You wake up in a pile of smoking debris. You're
                          glad to be alive. Unfortunately, your buddies
                          haven't been so lucky. You see the lights of
                          Phobos1 in the distance.

It's all up to you now....

Additional Comments     : This is my first Doom level, but I think I did a
                          pretty good job. It's large, but it runs well
                          even on my slowest machines. I hadn't intended it
                          to make it this big but the more I worked on it,
                          the more it seemed to take on a life of its own.
                          <g>

It's been extensively play-tested and while it is
                          difficult, it can be completed without cheats.
                          I've done it several times and I'm not the worlds
                          best Doomer (yet).<g> Best of all, it saves!

Any comments or critisisms will be gratefully
                          accepted.

************************** HINTS TO FOLLOW ********************************

- Strategy is as important as tactics. Sometimes its better to sneak around
  rather than going for a frontal assault.

- It's not always necessary to kill or fight every monster, especially at
  the end. Try to get around them if possible. Or, try to lure them out of
  the area you where you want to be. If all else fails, find places where
  you can get a clear shot at them, but they can't easily shoot you.

-DON'T go downstairs until you have checked ALL the upper levels, except
 where you need a key to open the door. Where's the key? Downstairs, of
 course!
