Great level from start to finish. 5 Stars -PC	x
This is dated January 1996. It's a techbase / warhouse with some intricate detail. The design is often a bit cramped but it's not bad. It has a non-linear layout that lets you explore most of the map from the start, although it feels random at times and it's hard to navigate. You fight about 150 mostly weak monsters in a fairly small space. But there isn't much progression and you get masses of health; I wandered a bit trying to find the red key.	x
As is typical of Metabolist, this level has very square architecture and an overabundance of ammo and powerups. It looks relatively decent notwithstanding a few dumb detailings, but the crouched yet easy difficulty with an awkward progression make it a rather poor level to play through. The music, which is rather gay in mood, does not fit in a DOOM level. [2/5] ~Chain Mail (11/2007)	x

For those of you who have played through my previous levels and
expect all of them to be smallish, like the existing ones, then
prepare yourself for a major change.  This my largest independent map
(so far ;-) that I can still call coherent, weighing in at 300k but 
still being perfectly playable.  It's like four small maps joined 
together to make one large base.  It's totally non-linear, and there
are about six or seven distinctive areas in it.  Demo-recorders
should have lots of fun finding all different routes through here...
On the last day, I found that ZenNode refused to compile the map's
nodes without crashing, and I also found that it had screwed up the
map into random junk, and I basically said "AAAARGGGHHH!!!!!!".
I had a backup copy though, and I recompiled it with my trusty BSP.

Thanks for the music must go to Michael himself, for making it back
in 1996, and also to Nick Baker and Marc Pullen; Marc found some old
MIDIs and sent them to Nick, who asked me to extend some of them to
a more respectable length (a few were like 30 seconds), and one of
them was a piece by Walthius (FYI, "The Gates of Doom") and his
homepage and address were in the file.  I visited his homepage and
got about 45 songs off there, totalling over 4 hours.  This is my
favourite of the lot, I think.  ("Pacific Coast Highway" is my second)
"Memories..." is in fact a Yamaha XG song, and it is included in this 
ZIP for those with Yamaha XG to delight in listening to.  (As it
does not convert properly to MIDI, the timings get buggered)

Note that several of the pieces Nick sent to me shall appear on
the forthcoming CD by me, "Suburban Non-Life", which will be available
at: metabolist.tsx.org, to order for �5 (~$7)
