Though it was released in 02, the mapset feels much older. Some of the legacy-only maps are missing, and you are apparently supposed to load frasl.wad alongside this for the complete package. Why they isn't it in the same zip? In any case, these maps exhibit the zany quirks of mid-nineties mapping, but seem a bit too cluttered to claustrophobic for the most part to play in an actual DM.

Map 8  This is not a level       Fragrate: 0.0 Frags/min

Level 9.  The Hub		Fragrate: 1.05 frags/min

			1 group  of 20

Things to look out for:
	Do you enjoy spending time in those long, dark, hallways that bypass
           the Hub?? Well, YOU SHOULDN'T!!! The Hub is an important part of the
           level both for getting health and armor and for making it a more
           enjoyable high-frag level.
	The best weapons tend to be farther from the Hub
	Check out the lake. For once open sectors help more than they harm
           Doom II mapmakers.
	Exit Sign on a pole
	You could easily get lost inside the hub.  The Lamps are there to help
           you orient yourself.
