Reviews:

Anonymous	Very amateurish and uninspired level, failing in about all aspects of proper level building. Even technically bad. So not worth a download. 1/5 for the effort because it was made in 1995, else 0/5.	x
Anonymous	Kinda lame. HOMs here and there. Just a bunch of blocky kill rooms. Some of the level can be skipped.	x
Anonymous	Yeah, its hopeless for sure. But not as hopless as the name suggests. 2/5. -pc	x
Anonymous	One of the top rules of any creative endeavour is to never give your work a name that invites ridicule or mockery. If you have a son, do not call him Lazarus because people will kill him in order to see if he rises from the dead. If you have a daughter, do not call her chastity. This is a very poor level, lots of square rooms, boring "final battle" that resembles the trench run from Star Wars. In fact... it's hopeless! Do you see?	x

** You may do what you like with this file I put it out for doom addicts 
like me to enjoy.  So, knock yourself out.  I must encouarage you to build a 
level from scratch by yourself a couple of times though, it is well worth
the pain sweat and tears, to kill some of your friends.

Misc info:

I know that most of you are looking for a "the story so far" section,
but try as I may I couldn't think of a scenario.  Don't let that stop you 
though, this is still a great WAD!  Also, you HAVE to try it in DEATHMATCH,
I've created DEATHMATCH rooms that have all the ammo and powerups that you 
need before entering the play area, so you don't have to go scrounging for 
ammo (I hate that).  Lastly have fun, and DIE WELL!!!.
