          In irregular intervals I will review a few PWADs.
   All reviews are totally subjective, I'll not beautify anything!

      [email protected] or [email protected]

    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.
              I will NOT review any deathmatch-levels!

     Maps: MAP01                    Type: normal level
   Sounds: no
 Graphics: no
    Music: no

[ Level construction ] ----------------------------------------------

  Kinda one-way-level,  though it has a few rooms neighboring to the
main way.  This level really needs no keys, but two were used.  (You
know, run - get blue key - run - open blue door,  kinda stupid) Some
nice tricks,  like platforms  with  things  on it etc.  but  nothing
amazing. Some light effects, like cones of light...

[ Texture design ] --------------------------------------------------

  Kinda 'brutal'  texture placement,  but most  of them are aligned.
Some strange texture combinations, could be better.

[ Bugs ] ------------------------------------------------------------

  No Tuttie-Frutti, Medusa or HOM effects.

[ Enemies ] ---------------------------------------------------------

  Played in UV only. Too easy. Not very challenging at all - Guys,
Imps, Pigs. Boring.

[ Things ] ----------------------------------------------------------

  Enough ammo and health, too easy. Nice placed 'other' things.

[ Scoring ] ---------------------------------------------------------

  55%

  Worth downloading.  A bit boring.  I hope the  other WADs  of this
series will be BIGGER and better.
