This is a surprisingly good level from a long time ago. It's not really a classic, but it's a cut above. There are almost 400 monsters, which is a lot for the time, and although the design is simple it's nice and non-linear and very large. The ambiance reminds me a little of Doom3. It's let down by a tedious switch-hunting maze near the end, that you have to explore. There's a crushing ceiling near the beginning, but none after that (which is nice).

Description             : Far out in the uncharted backwaters of deimos lies 
an old unregarded factory. It was built in a time when people thought that there
was something in these red rocks that was worth building a mine for. Soon it was
abandoned and only used to store waste in. When the monsters attacked the bases,
this one was none of those that were hard to take, for it was only manned with 
few workers - - - On your way back to earth you just get past this mine and 
notice that the noises that come from the inside sound quite common. And you 
know that no single one of these creatures may survive. So you enter.

I tried to make special rooms like a machine room, living rooms for the crew,
a bar, a conference room and so on. Hope you can recognize them (and also hope
you can't recognize the traps before you're inside!).
