TimeOfDeath	cool '97 map	x
Anonymous	Not exactly detailed, but the large scale epic architecture looks great even today. Gameplay wise it's a further improvement over the author's previous maps, with slightly more resources(omg armor!!1), which are much needed because there are also more surprises. Play with -fast, have a blast. 5*	x
Anonymous	Made with a P120. I wonder if Ben Morris realised that DCK looks like DICK if you read it quickly. As per the readme I went off and downloaded castleof.wad, which is a clone of a Quake level; it's very clever, but it just reminds me of how much I was disappointed by Quake when it came out. This level, on the other hand, is just... tedious. It has uniformly square architecture, it's competently put together but it meanders and doesn't have any spark at all. It bored me.	x
