Description:	Really big, really detailed level for Doom 2. The Axix is a tech base built by UAC for research and development. Unfortunately, it seems that some teleporter tests screwed up and now a portal is opened to some demonic temple. Your job? Clear the Axix of all demons, and find your way to the Temple. Once there, find a way to close the portal. Simple. Just try not to die....

It's an ok level, there could have been some new monsters. 4 stars since I like demonic areas, hellish places, gothic etc.	x
I was not amused. It's large, but it seems like several smaller older levels jammed together. It starts poorly, with the player fighting through a couple of areas with a pistol, and then it grinds to a halt with a tedious Q-bert crate maze; and then there's a regular underground maze, with strobing lights, at which point I said to hell with it. The design is simple and old-fashioned with lots of copy and paste. There's lots of action, though.	x
Despite what anyone says, the pistol is not a fun weapon.	x

                          I'm guessing the level is so detailed that vanilla
                          Doom2 can't handle it.

May Not Run With...     : Regular Doom 2

* Tips and notes *

As said before, this level will not run with regular (vanilla) Doom 2.  Although
it has no boom-specific features, I highly recommend Boom to use playing it.  You
COULD use ZDoom or other engine, but this level is designed keeping in mind the
restrictions of vanilla Doom, like no jumping or looking up or down.

As far as gameplay goes, this level is designed to be played in Ultra-Violence.
But, it has all difficultys implemented.  It's just that I spent hours balancing
everything perfectly for an engaging exerience in Ultra.  Be prepared.

Here are some tips for playing the level:
1. You are given a chainsaw early on.  Use it whenever you can to conserve ammo.
2. SAVE OFTEN.  There's plenty of nasty traps which can kill you rather quickly.
3. There's a boss fight at the end.  Just thought you'd like to know.
