Description:	This is quite a huge level. Not very tricky, or difficult for that matter. It's just plain fun "dooming"... Oh, and by the way; your monitor shouldn't be too bright when playing this level - that would spoil the effect of the dark areas.
Credits:	The playtesters: Peter Madsen and Peter Bendixen. (Well, they're to blame if there's something wrong with this WAD :) Also the maker(s) of the great DEU521GCC. And Id Software, may they live long and prosper, (so they can make a lot of new games :)...
Base:	My poor imagination...
Build time:	A little week with 2-3 hours a day.
Editor(s) used:	DEU521GCC - This is just a great tool!
Bugs:	Well, I haven't found any. But feel free to send me some mail if you should discover something...

Anonymous	Large map from Aug 1994, those times when mazes and fighting barons in cramped corridors were hot. Rated as such: solid piece of work, must have given a lot of fun, so 4. BTW Obviously nowadays it's completely outdated, but it is totally unfair to rate it as a 2015 map and give 0, like ^ did.	x
Anonymous	As you might expect from the readme, this is a big maze. Thankfully it's mostly well-lit, which raises its score to zero, but it's still a big maze; it feels computer-generated. Lots of single file corridors, about three or four slightly larger rooms, but it's a maze. The last and least of this author's three levels.	x

WAD Description : This is quite a huge level. Not very tricky, or difficult for
                  that matter. It's just plain fun "dooming"... Oh, and by the
                  way; your monitor shouldn't be too bright when playing this
                  level - that would spoil the effect of the dark areas.

Thanks to       : The playtesters: Peter Madsen and Peter Bendixen. (Well,

LMP file        : CN03_12.LMP and CN03_16.LMP
Recording time  : 14min 51sec and 15min 48sec

LMP Description : A walk-through of this level, where I'm giving all the secret
                  rooms away, but still leaving some surprise I'd think. Both
                  LMP's are recorded using the option "-nomonsters", and should
                  also be played with this option... (I don't want you to know
                  the locations of all the monsters too :).
                  
                  Because a LMP recorded on Doom 1.2 wont work with Doom 1.666
                  and vice versa, I've included a LMP file that will only work
                  with Doom 1.2 and one for Doom 1.666. Feel free to mail any
                  LMP's recorded with the option "-maxdemo xxxx", that shows
                  how you're dealing with the monsters...

The "hintbook"  : May only be read if you're stuck, (or just want to "cheat").

1. Hey, didn't you read the sentence just before?! Reading
                     this may spoil all the fun! Don't say i didn't warn you...
                  2. On top of the lift at the beginning there are two switches
                     that can be activated. One of them will open a door into a
                     shotgun and some ammo.
                  3. You can find a blue armour behind some of the barrels.
                  4. Look at the walls; that green stuff looks suspicious,
                     doesn't it. If you've found it, don't stop examining that
                     green stuff - you'll also want the chainsaw, right!?
                  5. After you've found the yellow key, and used the teleport,
                     you'll enter an area where you can find: A bag pag, the
                     plasmagun, supercharge, a box of ammo and the red key,
                     among some other things... Pay attention to the holes in
                     the walls. - Oh, and don't run, just walk!
                  6. The left switch is a surprise... The switch in the middle
                     activates the lifts, and the switch on the right will
                     bring the blue key to sight.
                  7. There's a secret door next to the yellow danger-nuke-sign
                     behind the barrels...
                  8. The Baron is guarding a secret room that keeps a shielding
                     suit and a blue armour.
                  9. In the area behind the blue key, there's a secret room
                     with another blue armour, (I hope you've got the red key).
                 10. Just before you reenter the nuke area, turn around and
                     look for a hole in the wall, which bares a shortcut...
                 11. In the little room near the end, there are two secret
                     doors; One of them will lead you to some health and some
                     ammo, the other will take you to a supercharge.
                 12. To reach the computer map you must use the entrance that's
                     hiding on the left...
                 13. No more help - watch the LMP if you're still in trouble.
