printz	Pretty awesome.	x
Anonymous	A very nice old school remake. After playing Tastae Virtus this was a nice return to the usual Dooming. Hope the "1994 remake project" maps are like this.	x
Anonymous	It's awesome because it's by Enjay! :p I like this shi*, even it's not very so good! :D 4/5 - playerlin	x
Anonymous	Classic feel, nasty action, visually pleasing despite being plain and functional. The sense of space and flow remind me very strongly of "myfirst.wad", a special old favourite that Enjay fans may recognise ;)	x
Anonymous	A good and a solid map. The visuals are nothing great but still good enough overall. A recommended download if you want some good and simple Doom action! -Hardcore_gamer.	x

Jumping and crouching are not required, neither should
they cause any problems.

The WAD that this is based on was reviewed recently on 
Doomworld and the review started off

"This is the worst level I have ever played".

Whilst that may have been a little too harsh, the WAD 
certainly wasn't good.  However, something about it 
was bugging me.  I kind of liked the basic layout of 
the map - or something.

So, on a cold, wet December Sunday afternoon I decided
to sit down and just play around with it in my editor.

This wasn't an attempt to "fix" the map or anything 
pretentious like that.  I just sort of set myself a time 
limit of 4 hours (which I over ran slightly) to do what 
I could in a limited time.  So, it was kind of like a bit 
of self imposed speed mapping.  Seeing as how it turned 
out OK I thought I'd make the results public.  I got a
few recommendations for changes, spent an hour or so
applying them, and that's it.

Don't expect any KIDZD detail or anything.  This was a 
pretty quick "tart up" of a level done just to amuse 
myself.  It's still quite basic and simple.

I tried to keep it feeling a bit quite like the original - so,
although I converted it to Doom2 (the original was for Doom)
I kept mainly to Doom textures and enemies, although I did 
let a few Doom2 features creep in.

I deliberately stuck with Doom line types and didn't use 
any modern port features.  So, it *should* run on any 
source port. I tested it on the following ports and 
didn't notice any problems:

Zdoom
GZdoom
Risen3D
PRBOOM
EDGE
Legacy
PRBoom+
Doomsday
Skulltag
Chocolate
Vanilla

Also
Vavoom (engine, not map, minor cosmetic bugs)

As far as possible, I tried to keep the layout as faithful
to the original as possible.  However, after working on one
area, I had introduced a visplane overflow.  I could have 
just specified that it required a limit removing port but
I prefered to try and fix the overflow because making an 
old '94 WAD like this incompatible with Vanilla seemed 
wrong.  So that area (the bar) ended up being changed more
than I had originally planned.  However, it worked out OK
so I'm happy enough with that decision.

Josh Schultz was kind enough to use the "Authors MAY use 
this level as a base" clause of the permissions, so I'm 
making my effort publicly available.  I hope someone 
enjoys it. :)
