This is dated March 2002. It gets off to a bad start, with a section that's basically a tedious 1994-era green stone dungeon maze. But it gets worse, because the whole bloody thing is like that. You fight 609 monsters in an intricate, enormous 1994-era dungeon maze, with a bit of techbase towards the end, and it just goes on and on and on. Sometimes you flick a switch. It's totally misguided and almost unbelievably boring to play.

Story                  : Suddenly, you are in an octagonal room.
			 "Where am I?" is your first thought. The
			 hung bodies remind you of the story: last night
			 UAC forced you to go to an Outpost of Hell
			 situated somewhere on Earth and your boss
			 had to give you narcotic. So, while you were
			 sleeping, UAC sent you to this Outpost. Are
			 you ready to kill monsters or are you still
			 sleeping?!

Notes		       :  1) You need ZDoom in order to run perfectly
			     this level. It doesn't contain any
			     feature of ZDoom (in fact, it was
			     designed for Doom 2), but if you want
			     to save your game, you must run it with ZDoom,
			     otherwise you'll get a crash!
			  2) This is my first BIG map. It is the biggest
			     one I have ever made. It will take you more
			     than one hour to play it to the end.
			  3) The map is quite dark and some areas are very
			     dark in order to look more characteristic. I
			     admit that the "Red Area" may look a bit gaudy,
			     but I made the whole of it red to mark the
			     passage from a relatively easy area to a
			     harder one.
			  4) I developed this level characterizing it
			     with many different motives and themes:
			     ruins, catacombs, the "Red Underground Area",
			     little temples, technology and
			     refuelling bases, courtyards, the sewer
			     system.
			  5) Since it was originally designed for Doom
			     and not for ZDoom, remember that JUMPING IS
			     CHEATING!
			  6) This is the 1.2 version. If an error is found,
			     I will upgrade the .wad and upload
			     the new version on Internet.
			  7) Probably I will make other maps of this
			     kind like sequels.
			  8) In this level there are also some new special
			     features: there are two rooms which are very
			     dangerous if you enter them (it's impossible
			     to survive there!) and there is even a
			     dangerous teleport: if you use it, you will
			     be in deep trouble! So be careful!
			  9) Very often, secret rooms are located next to
			     dangerous areas. So if you have problems to
			     overcome a difficulty, look for secret
			     rooms; there will be some ammo, weapons,
			     medikit or something else.
			 10) There is a simple way to defeat easily the
			     Cyberdemon. Can you find it?
			 11) Why aren't you playing yet?!
			 12) Once you played it, send me comments.
			
What's new (ver. 1.1)  : Added new light sources;
			 added a new room;
			 enlarged some rooms;
			 added new items and monsters.

What's new (ver. 1.2)  : Replaced few textures;
			 regulated the height of a sector;
			 modified deathmatch map.

Additional Credits to  : Id Software, for making Doom;
			 Fredrik Johansson, who made the music;
			 testers:
			  Fredrik Johansson,
			  Giuseppe Tosto,
			  Salvatore Guastella.
