Description:	This level replaces Episode 1, Map 1. It is a stand-alone level and NOT intended to blend in with the standard DOOM levels. The skill levels are different than what you may be used to. "Ultra Violence" is a major monster-fest and intended only for experienced mouse users. "Hurt Me Plenty" is more comparable to the standard "Ultra Violence". "Hey, Not Too Rough" and that other one are for you wimpy players...

AOLers (screen names): Zeno 0 Capt Nimo Lord Jay Jon T W Whtrbt1 Home boys: Bob Williams John Jones Rick Todds Thanks for all the input, even if some of it sucked! ;-D
Base:	New level from scratch
Build time:	If I had 10 dollars for every hour, I could get another decent guitar...
Editor(s) used:	DEU 5.1 & BSP 1.1x
Bugs:	Many of the rooms have alot of detail to them and will be slow on all but the fastest computers. Maybe you should upgrade! In some of the more detailed rooms, the player may view too many linedefs at one time, which will cause the HOM effect. These areas are few and far between and not all that noticeable, but do exist. To solve the problem, I'd have to butcher my level and that's not gonna' happen!

Sui Generis	Yes, this is a good level for '94 using a sort of "prison in caves" theme. There are varied rooms and areas with a lively monster population to quell and as mentioned above the soulsphere sequence is cute and relatively intricate. A secret is required to access the blue key, but this is in the same room and easily found. Looks-wise the map lacks variety in textures, though the marble hall leading to the redstone area looks half decent. None of it is an eyesore and the map is fun to boot. Worth a play!	x
Anonymous	Early 1994 map, so rated as such. Underground level in E1M1 style. Layout is varying, there is some nice decoration, and ambiance is good. Gameplay @ UV is quite good, challenging and varying, and has some nice tricks. Note that in 1994 most players didn't have a mouse, which made it even more challenging - but imo always fair. Overall: for that time quite good, and even in 2015 worth a play for nostalgia lovers, so solid 4*.	x
Anonymous	good stuff	x
Anonymous	Great wad!	x
Anonymous	This is a pretty good early wad - the design is tasteful although very bland, but there's no shortage of action, and there are a couple of clever bits. The section with the soulsphere made me smile. It becomes more grandiose as it goes on, and the ending has a clever forced perspective corridor. The biggest problem is that you can run past a lot of the second half of the level. And what the f is a "hollaback girl"?	x

Description             : This level replaces Episode 1, Map 1. It is a 
                          stand-alone level and *NOT* intended to blend in

                          are different than what you may be used to. 
                          "Ultra Violence" is a major monster-fest and   
                          intended only for experienced mouse users. "Hurt
                          Me Plenty" is more comparable to the standard

                          other one are for you wimpy players...
                          
The story, so far:        After months of battling the evil spawn of hell,
                          you have finally fallen in the heat of battle. 
                          As you fade to black, you realize that the final 
                          blow has not come, instead you are being lifted and 
                          carried away... to a dark empty cell, where you are
                          to be imprisoned for eternity! Weeks pass... the
                          cell walls are closing in. The only other sign of
                          life is the guard, who taunts you relentlessly, day
                          after day. This day, as the guard (laughing wickedly)
                          tosses foul, bloody meat scraps at you, you 
                          decide that you can take it no longer. Completely
                          surprising the guard, you lunge at the cell bars,
                          reaching through to wrap your hands around the
                          guard's neck and strangle the life from him. As
                          his body slumps to the ground, you happily claim
                          his pistol and the few ammo clips that he has, 
                          after all, he won't be needing them! But you find
                          no key that will open the cell! You're trapped!
                          Will the guard be missed? What will you do?
