Author:	Kara C. Rader
Description:	The first in an almost-vanilla set of levels. No port effects are used, but a good port is required to run the wad. Be on the lookout for the simple fake slopes, the fake 3D floors, and the fake mirror. The demos show a walkthrough of the level on easy mode. Demos find 0% secrets, so no surprises are given away.

Bugs:	Doesn't run with Doom2.exe correctly. jDoom doesn't handle the TNT box correctly.

Reviews:

Memfis	A tourist/puzzle map, very few monsters but ammo/health is very scarce as well so you have to be careful. I liked the emptiness of it, there is a strong desolate atmopshere and even the switches that do something on the other end of the map didn't annoy me, somehow they felt appropriate... There is another version (id=11760) with like five times more monsters but I think I don't want to play it, I like the original as it is.	x
Anonymous	Nothing very special here. I did like the fake sloped air vents. 4/16/07	x
Anonymous	Obviously the previous reviewer couldn't be arsed to open the level in Doombuilder, or whatever. It's a short but sweet map based on an earlier Deathmatch level, but twice as big and with monsters - there aren't many of them, but the ammo and health are balanced well. It's fun but not challenging (there's an arch-vile, surprisingly not the final boss, but you can easily dodge him). You don't actually have to flick the "detonator", the wall opens anyway.	x
Anonymous	This is an attractive, clever level that just seems very short; it only has 22 monsters and there's not much to it. Some clever design tricks. I couldn't actually finish it; The Thing That Seemed The Obvious Thing didn't do anything, and there wasn't anything else to press or shoot.	x

Advanced engine needed  : Any source port that gets rid of VPO errors
                          (ZDoom, Legacy, etc). Demos should be used with
                          the signified port and version. jDoom is not
                          recommended.
Primary purpose         : Single and Deathmatch, I guess.
