Reviews:

This is an enjoyable, knockabout level from 2000, although it seems about five years older. The design is crude - the only modern-style detailing comes right at the end - but the gameplay is solid. It has a crushing trap that, for once, is actually pretty clever. The ammo balance is spartan, and oddly you get a load right at the end, although there's no boss monster; the author didn't continue the PUREDOOM series (he only has four maps in the archive).

It's an ok little map. 4/5 ~Joe Anderson

Fixes/Changes in Version 1.1

---Found and fixed a nasty HOM from edge overload
---Fixed texture alignment on outer wall
---Tweaked monster, health, and ammo amounts---it shouldn't be too easy now!

Description:  This will be the beginning of the PUREDOOM series, when I eventually finish it.

The "story" goes something like this---

You should have know better...everybody kept telling you it was over...the politicians, the scientists, even your friends said it would never happen again; and like a fool, you listened.  Hell, you even got a medal for listening.
	"There is no way that the gate technology will ever be experimented with again; and there is no way that the demonic horde that once plagued humanity can ever breach the dimensional seals that the UAC has developed.  We've spent too much money on it, for it not to work!  Besides, the test data clearly shows that it works," the arguements went; and you listened to them quietly and obediently like every good soldier does---while silently preparing for the logical conclusion of inevitability.
 	Shit happens.
