This is dated August 1994, and comes with a bunch of screenshots. It's a disaster; the heralded revolving stairway doesn't work properly, and so it's almost impossible for you to get past the first area (which is no great shakes anyway). The rest of the map is a mixture of cramped tiny passageways with a surprisingly tough monster complement for something so old, but it's still dire.

Review                  : Okay, there is, a HOM, but it's still a level
                          with interesting architecture. It's worth a look.
