Anonymous	Dated May 1996 you start out in a room telling you the map name, mapper etc. First thing I thought of when I played this map was the 90's Internet with it's poorly designed webpages with flashing colours and bad text formatting. Why you ask? Well it's simple this map is typical of early doom wads from the 90's with poorly designed rooms, bad texturing, an exit switch that looks like a door, a mini maze, 3 supercharges in the map, lack of ammo to start with etc. 1/5 only because it is not the worst one.	x

Demos Replaced          : None, but separate lmp included.

The map is only different for skill levels 1, 3, and 4. Even seasoned Doomers
should first play on level 1 or 3. The last level is very difficult. Save
often! Conserve ammo! Remember: monsters will attack each other! The demo lmp
runs for about 37 minutes, so get some popcorn and shit. Don't play the
lmp until you give up, it will reveal all the secrets. If you think skill 4
is too hard, consider that I had to do it without saving in order to record the
lmp! It took more than one try I can assure you.
