This is very good. I was put off by the name - I envisaged a poky little maze - but it's a sprawling and entertaining level with some very large bits and a little bit of wandering about looking for switches. The boss battle is nicely foreshadowed although a bit of a let-down when it happens. There's a very nice-looking "underground river with a big lit area" effect.	x
good job	x
Not bad for a 13-year-old wad.	x
epic. starts out with a cybie seeing you and teleporting to somewhere. then you traverse a huge level hunting him down. and then, once you finally meet... well, it's pretty humorous in an anticlimax kind of way. well worth the d/l. 4/5	x

* The Story *

Coming from the wastelands, you explore a demon-infested waterworks.
The employees (scientists and engineers of german descent) have 
retreated into the control rooms and locked the doors. Will you find
a way out of these dreary concrete corridors? And what may await you 
outside?

============================================================================

* Notes and Hints *

-Don't be afraid of using your weapons excessively. There's plenty of ammo
 around.
-There are certain places where big numbers of monsters will kill each
 other if you just wait long enough.
-I put two secrets in this level; one of them gives you the BFG. A third
 secret does not appear in the game statistics as it is obvious if you
 keep your eyes open wherever you go.
