This is from June 1998. I haven't played the other levels in the series; this one is a pretty good but often frustratingly cramped reactor / techbase. The design is nothing special by modern standards, but you get a decent number of the tougher monsters in a small space, and so it's never boring. It has a hub-style layout that breaks the action into bite-sized chunks. Against it, there's often very little room to dodge.

Description             :

The Seventh - Level 03: The Technology Base

About nine hours after the transport started, the lift finally comes to a

halt.  To entertain yourself during those long hours, you've been spending time

on the internet, browsing about pages.  You've also been spending a lot of time

on IRC, just chatting 'til the cows come home.  All this accomplished through a

small laptop computer that you found between two Plutonium barrels.  You decide

to wait for the president of the Los Angeles Marine Corps to state your next

mission.

Alright, Marine!  Your first land mass conquered!  Try to keep this up

until the hypergate!

This sector, Marine, is a vital part of your success in this mission.  On

Pluto, there is a huge technology base that is a large factor in the survival

of enemy life on the planet.  Your main goal is to destroy the central reactor

in the tekbase.  This task is not easy at all, though.  You need all three

security cards to open up the self-destruct switch.  On the plus side, you can

obtain them in any order.  Otherwise, this mission isn't going to be pretty.

There are three sections, each containing a key to the power core

self-destruct.  The red key is located in Sector Epsilon, the communications

center.  There are several computers here, all which control Pluto's contact

to outside life.  You will have to destroy the reactor before any

of this area's inhabitants can send out a message to Triton, your next

destination.

The blue key is located in Sector Theta, an abandoned part.  This area was

recently attacked by an unknown nemesis of the enemy, so nothing can live

there.  There should be security, however, because of the key in this area.

The yellow key is located in Sector Omega, the armour and weapon storage

facility.  Don't get your hopes up, Marine - most of the armour is located

behind bars, as well as the weapons.  Don't even waste your time trying to

get in the cages.

We will inform you of your next goal after you've destroyed the reactor.

* LOGGING OFF *

You get out your pistol and fifty bullets, which was all that the hyperlift

could carry, as well as put your knucklespike on your hand.  Sticking the

laptop computer in your backpack,  you get ready to open the door...

* Notes *

We're finally out of the underground/brick theme!  We've moved up to a tekbase

style in this level.  I'm sure plenty of people are happy, heh.

This one is a *lot* longer than Seventh 01 and Seventh 02.  Okay, not longer;

harder.  I've included a demo: a 6:01 run by me (the best time at this

point).  Adam's original time was a 13:04 (!), so that should be your time

(or higher) on your first try.  If it's lower, congrats, you're better than

Adam on first tries :D

I haven't found any bugs in this level.  Thanks to Adam for using BSP; now

I know that it's WARM doesn't stick things on invisible sectors, not me.
