Description:	This is a real fun wad and tough! In UV you open to 15 archviles and three berserk packs. You control the game and see them one at a time if your smart! There are interesting areas throughout - watch for traps! Plenty of challenges but fair. This wad also uses gothictx.wad for some beautiful textures - see credits below.
Credits:	My son (Rich) for all the help on textures and playtesting and the UV lmp. My friends (Warlock) for spotting an archvile problem and (John Blackburn) for playtesting and the (-fast GM) lmp. Many thanks to the Gothic Crew for the textures. Thank's guys! My wife (with love)!

nice map.	x
This is dated May 1999, and it's good fun. You start off in a maze, but unlike every other maze ever this one is entertaining - you have to berzerk punch archviles, and there's a stealth element. Goes on a bit long though. The invention runs out at that point, and the rest of the level is a lot of square rooms with almost 400 baddies in some big albeit bland fights. It's fun insofar as slaughtering 400 baddies is fun, but it could have been much more.	x
Isn't it the disturbed album?	x

Description             : This is a real fun wad and tough!
                          In UV you open to 15 archviles and three
                          berserk packs. You control the game and see
                          them one at a time if your smart!  There are
                          interesting areas throughout - watch for
                          traps! Plenty of challenges but fair.
                          This wad also uses gothictx.wad for some
                          beautiful textures - see credits below.
