good map -sargebaldy

This is dated January 1998. I'll give the author a star for enthusiasm, and another one for the level, which is decent. It's a small-to-middling techbase with a strangely pointless port section. It has 91 baddies. I found the gameplay cramped and awkward, and the level looks like something from early 1995. There are some good attempts at detail (the prison) but it's very copy-and-paste (the prison, the barracks at the end) and once past the start it's easy, too.

Background Story        : it is recommended you read this, because it explains
                          quite a few things.

<start>

You stand in front of General Shprotznog.

"Now listen up, 006, this is a very important mission. We have found out that
on the Ramatahatta islands in the Pacific Ocean, a very dangerous and very mad
group of scientists have created a new type of liquid, called the Mutator.
It is a green, thick, highly flammable liquid that, when applied onto a being,
allows scientist to mutate the being according to their will. They have
started creating horrible, but efficient mutants and are planning to sell
them to terrorist organizations. This must be stopped. You are to go there
and find out what their exact plans are, who they want to sell these mutants
to and how to stop them."

You think about it for a moment.

"Ok, but... what about weapons?" you ask.

General smiles.

"This will be your easiest mission yet. You need only a pistol, for
self-defence. We will smuggle you in as a member of a terrorist group. You
will be completely out of danger. All you have to do is speak with an accent."

You sigh. "Alright, I'm in."

After a few days of preparations, you finally embark on the plane. Some hours
of flying and you then land on the beach with a parachute. Expecting a warm
welcome, you walk briskly towards the huge complex. However, something is
very wrong. Everything is quiet. You walk to the gates, mumbling to yourself
worriedly. Hearing a sharp crack, you turn around only to spot two huge
monsters running towards you. They look like shaved gorillas with humongous
teeth, but you have no time to observe them closely.

You run up and down the corridors, spotting new horrors. Finally, you arrive
in a small room. Hiding, you hear the brutes storming by. Excellent, they
have lost you.

After thinking about the weird things for a moment, you suddenly come to
the conclusion: the monsters have taken over this lab. The scientists made
the fatal mistake of giving them intelligence... Now your objective is to
kill these hellish monstrosities and get outta here. However, the question
is: how? It seems like the only way out is to get to the chopper platform on
top of the building to call for help, because your radio transmitter doesn't
work inside the building, for the place is 100% everything-proof.

Fun Guide               : Here are some fun things to do in Ramatahatta!

* fiddle with the 'controls' in The Lab Rooms (red
                          key area) and The Factory (blue key area), you
                          can get some of the machines to work
                        * check out the posters on the walls of the sleeping
                          rooms in The Staff Area (blue corridors)
                        * visit the ship and The Smoking Room (the one with
                          the barred windows) :)
                        * if your marine feels dirty or needs to pee, take
                          the door from The Loading Area to get to the toilets
                          and showers
                        * feed the mutants in the cages by 'pulling' the
                          silver levers by their cages
