Reviews:

This is a mixture of techbase and medieval library, with Himalayan Nazis mixed in with the standard Doom monsters. It must have been decent for 1995, but nowadays it feels like a hotel / castle level, with lots of long corridors lined with square rooms. The final arena picks up a little, but it's too small, and there's an awkward cyberdemon battle. I couldn't get 100% kills because of a demon stuck in the floor of the helipad room.

Minimalistic yet awesome fun!!! 3/5 - Optimus

Misc. Author Info     ==> 1st WAD that I actually completed. Got hundreds of 
                          half finished WADs I wrote, and I just don't feel
                          like finishing them.

WAD Layout            ==> This WAD is suitable for all methods of play and
                          for all difficulty settings. Deathmatch play is 
                          restricted to the red sector (see below) because 
                          the level is big.
The story so far ...  ==> You are a space marine trained to handle any 
                          situation in any mission that your superiors might
                          give you. For some time, there has been a group of
                          franatical individuals called the Black Serpent who
                          have been randomly causing chaos in various
                          nations. They are slowly trying to bring anarchy to
                          the planet. Rumor has it that they have been 
                          messing with mother nature and transforming their 
                          members into hideous monsters with the help of 
                          genetical engineering. There main headquarters have 
                          been found somewhere in the Himalayan mountain 
                          range. Your mission is confirmed. You fly into the 
                          mountain range. A frontal assault would be unwise, 
                          so you find an outside air vent and enter the base 
                          in that way.
Base layout and
general information   ==> The base is divided into four main sectors. The
                          black sector serves no major importance; it's just
                          there. The yellow sector is the main living
                          quarters for the members of the Black Serpent. Also
                          in this sector are the shooting range and the mess
                          hall. The blue sector is the main base. Access to
                          this area is restricted to certain members. Rooms 
                          in this area are not known except that it is in
                          this sector that these mutations are taking place.
                          Also rumored to be in this sector is the prison
                          where they keep the unfaithful, their storage
                          facility, the main generator, and their helipad.
                          The red sector is a complete mystery. Intelligence
                          has no idea what might be in there. *NOTE* All
                          white doors are motion activated. All other doors
                          are manually operated.
Hints                 ==> To get the red key ... most of the rooms in the
                          blue sector each have a switch. One switch opens
                          one of the doors in the vault. There are seven
                          doors in all. When all the switches have been
                          pulled, you can get the red key.
