Reviews:

Grayish techbase, with a centric design. Almost everything everywhere looks the same, so the automap is your friend. By grabbing the yellow key (found via a teleport room close to the start) 95% of the map becomes accessible. From then on it's a matter of finding the rooms containing the red and blue keys. Lots of monsters thrown in, but you get a ridiculous amount of ammo (even for the more powerful weapons), so it's plain sailing. Decent old-school map. --2/5

* Play Information *

Game                    : DOOM I
Episode and Level #     : E3M1
Single Player           : Yes
Cooperative 2-4 Player  : Yes
Deathmatch 2-4 Player   : Yes  (but is better with 3 or 4 players)
Difficulty Settings     : Yes  (but really designed for "Hurt Me Plenty")
New Sounds              : No
New Graphics            : No
New Music               : No
Demos Replaced          : None
Hints                   : The level may be a bit too big for two player
                          Deathmatches unless you stay near the center. It
                          works a lot better with 3 or 4 player matches.
                          There are a lots of doors, but monsters don't have
                          keys! :)  The only tricky part is finding out how to
                          get the yellow key (you need that to get into most
                          of the level).  There are a few big/bad guys in the
                          level, but you don't have to fight them to finish.

Other:  "Nerves" was my first level, so I still have a lot to learn.  However,
        I have tried to balance the weapons, ammo, and "goodies" with the mix
        of monsters in each area.  Hope you enjoy playing it.  Please let me
        know if you find a bug or have suggestions for improvements.
