Doomkid	The shotguns in the intro room - Are they just a tease? I had very low health because of the pistol start, but all in all this map is really fun despite being so brown. I got stuck near the end, I couldnt figure out how to open the big green baron head texture. I also felt unfairly hit a few times, I couldn't see where I was shot from. Overall very challenging, but a lot of fun and not too rough on the eyes either.	x
TimeOfDeath	very fun	x
Anonymous	A city based wad from 1999. It's not the best thing in the world, but it's far from the worst. In fact, despite it's simplicity, it kept me occupied due to how challenging it can be at times. 4/5 ~Joe Anderson	x
Anonymous	Very good map. It's not all that detailed and is nothing spectacular in the looks department but it fits the theme of a city and is tough and very fun to play. Many good, hard battles in this level and for the most part every area remains a challenge for a while due to enemies in a high places, enemies being unleashed from new places, etc.	x

Description             : A bite-sized level for DOOM II.  
			  This is a small, basic, city style level for all of those
			  doomers who are looking for a quick fix!  Designed this 
			  level for single play, but kept multiplay in mind. I hope 
			  there is something here for everyone.  Let me know what 
			  you think!

Cheesy Doom story	: Retirement at last!  After years of serving the marines, you 
			  finally bought that dream house and nice chunk of property.
			  Suddenly you notice the locals don't look so local any more.
			  In fact, they're down right demonic.  It's happening again! 
			  The demons have warped your once peaceful town into another 
			  dimension.  A dimension of hell.  Now they're in your front
			  yard waving firearms at you.  Time to dust off grampa's old
			  scatter guns above the fireplace, head into town, and take 
			  'em out...one at a time!  Later, you will need to access your
			  secret artillery facility which has been conveniently locked.
			  Your Mission:  Save your town from certain doom by battling
			  your way to the almighty dimension portal.
