Something of note
This WAD was made by Orin Flaharty, who in the same year this was written (1995), would also make two maps for Memento Mori (
This is not the only review that would be written about Orin's work by The Innocent Crew, as seen here.

Title: Moonbase (part 1) Game: Doom
Filename: MOONBAS1.ZIP Size: 75k
Author: Orin Flaharty e-mail: [email protected]
Maps: E2M1 Type: normal
Sounds: no
Graphics: a new step
Music: nothing new
[ Level construction ] ----------------------------------------------
At most a one-way level. Two keys used, but the red one is dumb.
A lot of hallways, shot-trough windows and some stairs. Nothing new
at all, could be done in early 94. Good light usage.
[ Texture design ] --------------------------------------------------
Amazing. Have you ever seen a level with almost two different
textures? Many misaligned textures, some missing lower textures.
The doors are kinda strange, but not bad. No teleporters. The whole
level looks the same, but in fact, it is not that bad, it was quite
fun playing it. Good placed lights.
[ Bugs ] ------------------------------------------------------------
No Tuttie-Frutti, Medusa or HOM effects. Just a few missing
textures.
[ Enemies ] ---------------------------------------------------------
Quite easy. Shotgun Guys and Pigs are the only enemies. Oh, no, a
Baron at the end of the level! The author placed a lot of barrels in
the level, it is really fun to blow them, if some Guys are next to
them.
[ Things ] ----------------------------------------------------------
Plentyful ammo and health. Only a few torches and a lot of
barrels. The only weapon is the shotgun. Mmmhh...
[ Scoring ] ---------------------------------------------------------
51%
One percent just to keep it worth downloading. The author should
do a lot of 'fine tuning' and take a look at the editor. I'm sure he
will be able to place some different enemies and weapons in it.
Btw. PLEASE put all your changed resources in ONE Pwad. The author
will do some more 'Moonbase' levels, hope they will be better.
