          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!

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

  Interesting level with quite good key-placement. Two keys are used
at all.  The level has four main parts:  huge stairs,  an open area,
a nasty labyrinth (dark like a Demon's ass) and a 'waste' area. Some
light goggles are  available but  not easy to get.  No special light
usage, just some light and some darker areas, except the labyrinth.

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

  Well aligned, although there are a few kinda 'misplaced' textures.
Some lamp-walls are not wide enough, but nothing really misaligned.

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

  No Tuttie-Frutti, Medusa or HOM effects.

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

  Played in UV only and it's very hard.  Full of monsters,  some are
teleported behind you - very tough.  Also, I think the  end is a bit
too hard,  because there are a lot of Demons,  Cacodemons and Barons
in one room... and you with a lack of ammo. :(
  Just like this wouldn't be enough, you will be attacked by a bunch
of Lost Souls from behind. Mmmhh...

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

  Could be much more ammo and health, a few more 'other' things too.

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

  68%

  Worth downloading.  If you like to reload every 20 seconds.  A lmp
demo is  included,  but can't  be used since it  is a version  below
1.666, converting didn't work.
