Reviews:

Anonymous	Awesome. More fun if you get the ssg teleport in the cyber crusher room near the start, otherwise you don't get ssg until later.	x
Anonymous	Don't be put on by the above review. The sound replacements are dreadful, and the timing puzzles ram cactus dildoes in your ass.	x
Anonymous	Don't be put off by the above review. The sound replacements are fine, and the timing puzzles aren't a problem really.	x
Anonymous	This is from December 1995. It starts off terribly; there's an awful sound replacement wad that's offensively bad, and the second room has an anally precise switch timing puzzle that's more Tomb Raider than Doom 2. In fact it annoyed me so much that I stopped playing. Good riddance.	x
Anonymous	A large and very difficult map. Recommended if you have a couple of hours to spare and don't mind dying a lot.	x

                          press certain switches from places where you are
                          not meant to be able to reach them. There are
                          also several switches that need to be shot,
                          including some that are not immediately visible.

Execution:                   To play this PWAD file, unzip it into the 
                                  directory where you put DOOM 2; then, start DOOM 2 like this:

DOOM2 -FILE SEVEN.WAD -WARP 7 -SKILL 4

this will put you on Map 07 at a skill level of Ultra-violence;

OR...unzip both seven.wad and seven.bat into your Doom2 directory and simply type SEVEN
to start the game.

OR...at the DOOM2 prompt type:  DOOM2 -FILE SEVEN.WAD and then hit "enter".  Then just take it from there to set your skill level.  Lower skill levels are easier.  "Ultra-Violence" is very challenging, even for the most hardened "Doomer".  Ultra-violence is the skill level at which this
level was meant to be played.

===========================================================================

This is the Fortress of the Seven.  None have escaped from it.  None ever will.  Unless you defy reality and defeat Them.  (HINTS: Be alert and save OFTEN!!!!!!, when nothing else works, 
SHOOT!!!!!, and in the grand finale, as Mancube calls it, you will need to use lots of strategy and
you will definitely need to run like hell...run over things and under things to trigger actions...keep moving!)  Your challenge and goal:  to start this level with only your pistol and fifty bullets, and then to defy reality and defeat and escape Them.
