felgro	Lessee: broken automap; wrong monster count; exit behind secret; rooms you can't leave; etc. etc. Sorry, no. This is utter rubbish.	x
Zalewa	Very chaotic layout. I don't think you need any of the keys to beat the map. Visuals are good. Keeping in mind that this is a 1994 map, this is historically interesting, but as a standalone level it's rather weak. Fights are easy too.	x
Anonymous	Tech-style map from May 1994, so from the early DooM mapping times. Layout is based on rectangular rooms & small corridors with windows, and almost flat. Texture use, decoration & ambiance are nowadays considered simplistic but for that time not bad; variation in style & gameplay is good. Has lots of texture misalignments and other small problems, but in 1994 these weren't considered as that bad as nowadays. Rated as early 1994 map: 3* because at that time playing this small adventure obviously gave fun.	x
Anonymous	Ooh, an undiscovered level from 1994, have not had enough of those in the last year. Truly random level design even for its time; on the first play, I accidentally activated the exit after killing 1/5 of the enemies and finding none of the keys. Later I find out that the yellow key opens a door that does nothing, and the red key gives access to a blue key, with no blue door in the level. There are also two plasma guns close to each other to make the grueling task of shooting former humans and imps easier.	x
Anonymous	Cool map, was a bit disorganized but I liked that and I had fun playing through it.	x

Uploader's Note         : This is a 1994 WAD originally published on America
                          Online, and later included on the "Sprint Gamers
                          Companion 5" disc from Super OZ. Prior to being
                          uploaded to the /idgames archives, the only way to
                          find it in modern times was to own that disc or
                          locate an online copy thereof. At the end of this
                          text file is a link to such a copy, thanks to
                          cd.textfiles.com.
                          
                          This text file and the zip file are renamed
                          "survivl2" to prevent conflicts with the
                          "survival.zip" already in the directory. The
                          contents of the zip are untouched. This includes
                          the original text file, thus satisfying the WAD's
                          licensing conditions (see Copyright / Permissions).
