Holy hell! This is a piece of you know what. I spent more time watching the opening cutscene and talking to people who had nothing to say than I spent with playing the game. Seriously, it can be completed in 3 minutes. Only good as a scripting tutorial. Don't know why it was included in 100 best wads. Gameplay over scripting, that's our lesson here.

^to the reviewer a couple people up: "I will also say go in to the manual if you have any questions, chances are there's a section for your question in there..." if you fucktards are smart enough to download a WAD then i'm pretty fucking sure you know how to read the manual for one. ALSO: try reading the rest of the txt below before you bitch and moan. for 2003, this was great and still is. 5/5 - Bukkake

good looks, yet deceptively enough, quite difficult to move on early in the game

Man, this is awesome as all hell. Short but sweet and I love how you use (mostly) stock Doom 2 resources. Wish you'd do more! :| Ceeb, 4/5 stars

How to get the radio to work: 1.Extract the files from ge1-sso.zip. 2.Then you will get the gateway.cfg file. 3.Drag the two files,ge1-sso.zip and gateway.cfg and drop it on the zandronum or Zdoom engine.Then you will find the gateway experiments interface option in the customise control section.The "cycle choices" and the "activate choices" should be binded to G and h respectively.

Tried this in latest Zandronum and ZDoom at time of writing (2014-05-23), followed instructions in enclosed manual, didn't work. I cannot pick up the radio communicators by touching them or pushing the USE key. Wish 0 stars meant "couldn't get it to work" instead of "vomit", I believe the reviews here stating it is indeed a fine episode with a unique feature (radio chatter with NPC), so I wish it had worked for me. :-(

To get the cycle keys instead of dragging the wad to zdoom, drag gateway.cfg. 5/5

G = Use Radio or Next, H = Select. In Doom your ears are your friend. In this little map your ears can equally be your enemy as you try to discern between background ambience and real monsters. Its made easier sometimes when they teleport all around you :o) The storyline does slow down gameplay a lot and takes getting used to, but I enjoyed the change. Reminds me of Half Life. Some say its not Doom but if you’ve played tons of WADs, any variation is appreciated. 5/5 for quality. Hope the quantity follows.

really neat, the design and the flow is magnific. my only complaint will be that the text changes automatically and sometimes you miss the instructions. would be nice to be able to change them manually like for example in the Zelda games.. lol

      A really frantic and fun DM map with pretty neat stuff like invisible pillar in the middle of the arena, doesn't have anything to do with the title but the level can become a BFG spamming fest soon, especially with bots. Less fun in SP but the arch-ville+bunch of nazi combo is a nice feat.

      Only six enemies (played on UV) and no working exit. Other than that, it is a pretty detailed map for 1995. I enjoyed the general design and the poisonous vats of acid. Very cool, but not practical for good gameplay.   EDIT: Just discovered this is a ideally a DM wad… haha, for that purpose, it seems good. My original rating was 2/5, will change it now.

      Lots of traps and monster closets. Some switches are activated by shooting but there's nothing to really tell you about this because they look the same as other switches.   Texturing is good and enemy placement proved rather difficult at times. There aren't may health pickups on UV so it was a fight to get through.

      It's pretty good for 1994. If you don't mind having no health items at all (except in a few maps) and the outrageous amounts of cyberdemons per map, you should give it a try. It's pretty challenging and I like it. E2M3 is a bit 'eh...' though.

      What the actual f*ck is this map. I love having 4 rockets, a shit ton of bullets and like 10 shotgun shells to take out a revenant, and whatever was in that cage. Doesn't look too bad, maybe this negativity is cus im no expert, also rather unskilled at the game?
