Anonymous	I agree with the second review, although I personally thought that the porno wall textures were inappropriate.	x
Anonymous	Heh, he said "toss off". This is fantastic. It's a clever reworking of E1M7 with four hundred or so monsters - imps, shotgun men, zombiemen, demons, and nothing else. You blast them with a shotgun and a chaingun, and a rocket launcher. It has a clean design and is great fun, although a bit wearying. It's an old-school level pumped full of drugs.	x

May Not Run With...     : Should be OK with everything.  Even Doom2,exe
                          although I would use a port just in case it is possible
                          to get a visplane overflow.  The map isn't too complex 
                          though.  I tried it with Zdoom, PRBoom, JDoom, Legacy
                          and Doom2.exe and was able to complete the level each 
                          time.
                          
Full Description:

Well, this weekend I found myself in the very rare situation of having a bit of
spare time.  So I decided to turn back the clock and make a simple, no port 
specific map.  I just started "doodling" stuff with DeePsea, trying to catch
some of what I like about E1M7, and about 4-5 hours later I had a map in front 
of me.  Up until then I hadn't even tried running it, but after play testing, 
I decided it was worth spending a bit of time texturing it properly, and 
working a bit on item placement.  Voila, one (longish) afternoon's work later
a map.

For those Episode1 purists, there are bound to be some things you won't like
but this wasn't a serious attempt at an exclusively Ep1 map.  It was just 
something I did to amuse myself.  In saying that, I stuck fairly closely to the
Doom1 textures that are available in Doom2 (which is a limited set compared to 
Doom1 proper) and I didn't use any non Ep1 monsters (which maybe makes it a bit
easy).  In addition, I didn't use any "fancy" architecture or port specific 
line types.  Stopping myself from making little complex, eye candy areas, was 
the hardest part actually.  I also tried to avoid linetypes that weren't 
available before Doom2 came out, but a few did sneak in ;-).
