Reviews:

A decent early level from almost ten years ago. It's large and sprawling, with a docks-type feel, but it's very easy to get lost after the first phase of killing everything out in the open. The author describes the oasis as "a structure in the distance surrounded by water". Unless he is using the word oasis metaphorically, he seems to have confused an oasis with an island. There are lots of dodgy sounds, some dodgy texturing.

Description             :Built for Doom2 v1.9
                         
Mission:                :Returning to earth from another successful mission,
                         your shuttle encountered an engine malfunction and
                         crash landed on an uncharted and unexplored planet.
                         With communications down and rations getting low
                         you set out to find food and water.  After days on
                         the rough, dry terrain, you spot what appears to be  
                         a structure in the distance surrounded by water...
                         an OASIS...Thank God.

Features                :Oasis has the"deep water" effect.
                         also new music, sounds and graphics.
                         Spent a lot of time on texture alignment
                         and tried to give the level A good
                         "feel" along with good playability.
