Anonymous	This is dated September 1995. It's one of those old-fashioned large-scale castle maps packed with secret passageways and nooks etc that you absolutely have to scour because the keys are hidden in them. There's a tonne of action although it's very mazey and I found myself becoming bored; the design is very simple and the mass of hitscan baddies is often frustrating. Overall it's very much of its time.	x
Anonymous	Not a bad castle at all. 3.5 stars would be about right.	x

 * Misc. Notes *

-Version 3.0:

* Update for Internet Release:

-added more rooms:guard room,tombs,small dungeon,hidden rooms.
-Made Ultra violence level a lot tougher!-added archvile & mancubuses.
 This should keep all you veteran Doomers happy.
 Level 3 (Hurt me Plenty) is now as difficult as Ultra Violence used to be.
-changed lightshades,
-changed textures. 
-added some chairs in the dining room.
-added switches in the library.
-added torches.
-re-aligned door-sidetextures so they don't move when doors are opened.  
-had to keep number of things at 603 to prevent savegame buffer overrun.

-Version 2.2:

-This is an updated version of v2.0 for Doom 1 for use with Doom ][ only!
 (confusing,huh?);I changed some of the textures(I had to,since Doom ][ doesn't
 use all of Doom 1's textures) and put in a few new ones(armoury),added the
 super shotgun,some new monsters and a couple of switches.
