This is dated May 1996, although it looks like a 1994 map. It's one of those levels that spells out a word on the automap ("THE SIMPSONS", with a pretty good picture of Homer). The bulk of the 150 monsters are hidden on the side of Homer Simpson's head - what an odd sentence - but they're admist barrels, and take no time to kill, although it's fun to engineer the "imps fighting imps" trick. It's sort of fun to kill 'em, but for 1996 this map is way behind the curve.

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

This is the first WAD I've uploaded, so I've taken care to avoid many of the mistakes that first-time WAD authors sometimes make.  So,  no spider masterminds, no cyberdemons to trip you up.  The exit is clearly marked, so you won't be tricked into finishing the level by "accident."  No need for cheat codes: there's just enough armor, health, and weapons to be able to get through the level, even when playing Ultra-Violence.  No places to get "stuck" .   No HOM or other bugs.  A lot of work went into building this WAD, and, hopefully, it shows.

As for the level's layout, the first eight rooms intentionally lead you around by the nose, but once you get to the courtyard, you're on your own.  There are several secret rooms containing weapons and armor adjacent to the courtyard.  Most of these rooms can be easily found by triggering a W1 linedef.  (You won't need to find any of these secret rooms in order to complete the level, however.)  Certain rooms can only be explored when playing the Deathmatch level.

As for the game play itself, this is definitely a WAD designed for players who like shoot-em-ups as opposed to puzzle-solving or maze exploration.  So if you still haven't gotten enough of Doom and you feel like kicking imp butt one more time before defecting to Hexen or Quake (or, God help you, Duke Nukem),  definitely give this WAD a try.
 when playing the Deathmatch level.
