Bad King John	The highlight (the "Ballet") I suppose is strafe circling three C-demons in a big arena; but I got bored and cheated. Apart from that, not enough ammo or health, glaring texture misalignment, silly sounds, and boring minimalist architecture. God knows why they made three maps out of this. The claimed "legend[ary] status" Level 2 finish is choosing between two buttons, one of which crushes you; but after 20 years the "legend" has yet to take root, it seems.	x
Anonymous	Dated October 1995. Includes five different versions of the readme file. There are some typically inane sound files, which will prove to future generations that the men of the 1990s only knew five films (Robocop, Terminator II, Aliens, and two others). The levels are short and feel pointless. The first is just three rooms, mirrored; the second is a cyberdemon arena fight; the third is a corridor. With a lot of work it might have been one single bog-standard level.	x
Anonymous	Damn this was bad.	x
