Reviews:

This is dated January 2002. It's named after the poem that Timothy McVeigh quoted as his final words; by spooky coincidence it has almost the same body count as the Oklahoma bombings (160 mostly weak monsters). As per the design brief it's just like the real E1M7, a techbase with a slime area, and a short E1M2-esque outdoors bit. Less gloomy than E1M7. A good lot of action, some fairly unguessable press-the-wall secrets, solid health/ammo balance.

Has a very strong E1 vibe, particularly M7. Fun gameplay but ammo can run a bit tight if you are reckless with your aiming. 4/5 -Mr. Chris
