Title: Big_D Game: Doom 2
Filename: BIG_D.ZIP Size: 35k
Author: Melvin R. Clemens III e-mail: [email protected]
Maps: MAP01 Type: normal level
Sounds: no
Graphics: no
Music: no
[ Level construction ] ----------------------------------------------
Medium sized level with a few big rooms. Good key-placement, all
three keys were used. Some areas are a bit too dark, such as the
computer-labyrinth, where the yellow key is. The whole level suffers
from some unclosed sectors, the level is fully playable, but some-
times it's a bit confusing... this is what the author calls: "No
bugs, just features". A few secrets.
[ Texture design ] --------------------------------------------------
Texture alignment is almost well done. Some strange combinations,
but nothing really bad.
[ Bugs ] ------------------------------------------------------------
No HOMs, Medusa effects or Tutti-Frutties.
[ Enemies ] ---------------------------------------------------------
Very hard, a lot of Cacos, Arachnotrons and Mancubus'. In the room
with the red key is a Spider Mastermind. Overall a bit too hard.
[ Things ] ----------------------------------------------------------
You will notice a lack of ammo right after the first room, later
you will get some weapons and ammo. Enough health, one God-Mode and
a blue Sphere.
[ Scoring ] ---------------------------------------------------------
55%
Worth downloading; kinda boring and getting the blue key can be
frustrating. The bugs are unnecessary. Download only if you need a
new level.
