Anonymous	I liked it	x
Anonymous	There is a fine line between a review, and horrendous spelling/grammar. Your comment crosses that line. Anyway, the detail is pretty well done, but I was a bit irritated by the fact that there was no locked-door label and and some other things as well. While playing it, I thought that you were concentrating more on detail than on game-play. It was alright though. 3/5.	x
Anonymous	This isn't bad for a simple old WAD. The monsters give a good fight from their positions, although the route needed to kill all the monsters is a bit odd. You'll have to return with the red key to get the plasma gun to have a chance against the cyberdemon. ~Chain mail [3/5] (01/2009)	x
Anonymous	This is dated February 1995. You fight 74 middling monsters in a techbase with a mine attached to it (the mine detailing is decent for the time). The fights are close-range, but as long as you can sidestep well, they're easy. The layout involves a bit of backtracking, and as the readme points out you can just run past the boss battle (and you get all the ammo and weapons just afterwards, so you basically have to run past it). It's just average for 1995.	x
Anonymous	thair is a fine line between chalinging and total crap.. this crosis that line 1/5	x

ITELLIGENCE REPORT.
         Approx' 6 months ago, the Luminite Corp, opened another mine- loc- 
         ation classified.The operation proceeded smoothly with huge profits
         until the test drill team discovered an immense vein of luminite.
         boring deep down, the working area became too hot. A special 
         "research team" delved into the tunnels, and never returned. Since
         then, A team of commandos ventured inside, and have not been seen 
         since Their radio tranmissions detail sightings of undead
         beings, and mechoid demons.

* BY THE WAY, THE MINE SHAFTS AND TUNNELS ARE NATURALLY LIT BY THE LUMINITE
   MINERAL IN THE WALL'S. REALISM IN A LEVEL. THATS MY MOTTO.
 
 * SPECIAL EXIT NOTE. THE EXIT IS PLACED SO THAT IF YOU GET SCARED, AND            
   DONT FANCY BEATING THE BOSS, YOU CAN EXIT. THOUGH THEE THAT DOES IS 
   HOPELESS IN DOOM TERMS.
 
 * THERE IS 1 BUG I KNOW OF, BUT I WAS SO ANNOYED I COULDNT BE BOTHERED REM-  
   OVING IT. IT OCCURS IN THE FINAL AREA AT THE POINT ON ONE OF THE FIRM
   GROUND AREAS. IT IS ONLY MINOR, AND HOPEFULLY WON'T ANNOY YOU.
