| Description: |
As you battled through the levels of DOOM II the imps regrouped to a new area and built a breeding colony. This is characterised by being rather like a honeycomb with imps asleep in many of the cells. They will, of course wake up and attempt to waste you when you finally locate it... no simple task.
Your mission is to find the honeycomb, clear out the imps and make your way to the exit. You will need to solve many puzzles, locate several secrets and find not three skull keys, but four, to reach the end of the level. Are you up to it? If you don't believe it can be done watch the demo which Chris recorded in UV ! |

A special thank you to Chris Christensen who provided invaluable help with WinTex, gave me the encouragement to finish this WAD off and in the end made a significant contribution to the design. Chris also created the opening screen, improved the structure and gameplay of the WAD and then recorded the UV demo ! (Pause's in the demo are due to lighting up cigarettes or opening up beers!)

Ok, here's a quote from Chris... 'Because this is a massive, ass-kickin, pushed to the limits level, you must do a little house-cleaning before you save in UV mode. The savegame buffer is tight ! But hey, real men don't need no stinkin' save game. Right !' So there !!
In fact it will save from the off, but may crash your PC when you return to DOS if you do. Other than this there are no known bugs of any kind. EMail me if you find any. |

| Oldschool. Not bad. 4/5 | x | |

| This map is good work, but nothing too special.
Though not linear, the map layout is rather coarse and clear. There seem to be several ways to proceed, because I found the yellow key twice.
The textures are well aligned and it's all looking ok (many green marble areas), but there's not much detail to look at.
Gameplaywise, the game is quite mediocre, too. The enemies are quite weak and you're provided with lots of plasma, even a BFG, which I never needed. 2.5/5 -Milian | x |
