In irregular intervals I will review a few PWADs.
All reviews are totally subjective, I'll not beautify anything!
If you have any suggestions, ideas or whatever; e-mail me at:

All files can be found on ftp.cdrom.com and its mirror sites.
DON'T ASK ME TO SEND YOU ANY FILES NOR WHERE TO GET THEM.
If you want me to review a special PWAD - email me.

Title: Illusions Of Home Game: Doom
Filename: ILUSORY1.ZIP Size: 520k
Author: Brett Librandi e-mail: [email protected]
Maps: E1M1-E3M9 (27) Type: normal levels
Sounds: No
Graphics: No
Music: No
[ Level construction ] ----------------------------------------------
Mostly one way, a room, some stairs, some more rooms. Lifts, doors
etc., no special effects.
[ Texture design ] --------------------------------------------------
A lot of misaligned textures, extreme use of light-effects (very
dark & blinking or very light). Switches mostly don't fit, tele-
porters and other important floor & ceiling textures are wrong.
Door sizes are okay, but the sides are moving, sometimes a door is
opening into heaven.
[ Bugs ] ------------------------------------------------------------
A few Tutti-Frutties. Many totally misaligned textures.
[ Enemies ] ---------------------------------------------------------
Enough, but haphazardly placed. (Open a door, kill them, open
another, kill them all again etc.)
[ Things ] ----------------------------------------------------------
Enough health, too easy in UV. Only a few things placed atmos-
pheric, mostly just to get something. Illogical key-placement
(depends on level construction).
[ Scoring ] ---------------------------------------------------------
19%
NOT worth downloading! I recommend the author to read the 'Doom
Hacker's Guide' AND the WAD designers handbook.
