Quite good, but not really phobos, especially with some bigger monsters and registered textures. But overall, still a good wad to play.	x
An amazing pwad when you consider that these levels were made by a 13-year old in 1995. Seriously, they're almost ID-quality. He got everything about the style right, including the room connections (which a lot of E1 copycats forget). E1M3 is the highlight, and the bonus E4M1 is pretty fun as well. The wad's easy, though, but entertaining. 4.5/5	x
Nice maps, many areas are heavily influenced by doom.wad but you can find a lot of original design decisions too. For me it was too easy and thus a bit boring but it's obviously a good wad.	x
how did I miss these back when they were new? Really fun levels with a heavy exploration side.	x

* WAD Description *

Brief Description       : 3 levels, plus 1 ULTIMATE DOOM bonus
                          level.
Cool Stuff              : + 3 cool new levels.
                          + 1 extra level that I thought I might
                            throw in.
                          + Some of the best levels ever, with
                            exceptions towards Sean Birkel's and
                            The Innocent Crew's work
                          + I'm not lying about the above, like
                            some WAD authors.
WAD Info in More Detail : I have made 3 levels so far, for an
                          episode that I may or may not finish.
                          The first level is small, the second
                          is fairly big, and the third one is
                          HUGE. That extra level for episode 4
                          is very authentic looking, and it is
                          fairly small.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THESE LEVELS, THEN
                          YOU DON'T LIKE DOOM!

If you don't like DOOM, then, like Id
                          Software said, something is really
                          wrong with you, and all your friends
                          like it.

Story Line              : You've been ordered to report back to
                          Phobos to clear out some more baddies.
Might Not Run With      : DOOM versions below 1.4. The extra
                          level can't be played unless you have
                          ULTIMATE DOOM.
Big Thanks to           : Jason Hoffoss for DMapEdit 4.0.11
                          Id Software (I put that here just so
                          you don't forget.)
