About This File

UAC constructed a bolt-hole on the dark side of the moon which was terraformed for the purpose. It was known as the Waterwheel because of its shape. When you completed the cleanup at Deimos you were warped to the Waterwheel because the infestation had spread even there. You find yourself transported to the centre of the Waterwheel and need to find your way to the exit warp-point cleaning up as you go.

Sadly, the hell spawn has already carved holes into the roof and the upper levels have been flooded. Fortunately, door blocks have prevented the flooding from spreading to the control rooms that make up the wheel(s) and the lower levels where the bugs from hell have constructed their dead-rooms.

Yet another example of a relatively enjoyable map ruined by a pointless and incomprehensible teleport maze. There is only ever one real result with this type of garbage - user irritation often resulting in game quits and file deletion. Why do people do this? Do you assume your being "creative"? No, your being lazy and stupid. Future mappers - don't do this if you want people to leave nice comments.

In many respects it's a decent level, but I have to agree with the guys above about the unmarked teleporters (i.e., the teleporter maze). It's pretty annoying, especially if you try killing all the monsters, that themselves get caught in the maze. [2/5] ~Chain Mail (11/2007)

This wad is dated August 08, 1997. Most impressive, with a great architecture and a gameplay like we are used with John Bishop!!! 4 stars - Jive

Cramped, crowded, and a little monotonous. Some pleasant rooms though and nice detail on the whole. *** -sargebaldy

It's a 1996-1997 wad for sure, but it holds up well. I like the cramped battles, and overall the gameplay is good. I'm going to deduct a few points because the water wheels are kind of ugly and it's hard to know where to go next. You have to be able to find relatively well hidden rooms to get to some of the keys so you can progress, which I don't like. I almosted cheated to figure out the rest of the level but I decided to try again later. Otherwise a good level.

Not bad. One of the first WADs I ever played. - Mystery8

Fairly good, large map. Somewhat marred by the teleporter mazes towards the end though.

3/5 There are some nice details here, like the floor-level lights, but the waterwheels themselves are fairly bland. There's a few good fights, like in the long northern area, but most of the action is dragged down by mandatory secrets that devolve into wall-pushing, and the teleport maze is annoying. I did like the ending sequence, however, with the floor trap. - KMX E XII

      One of the classic megawads, and the successor to TNT Evilution. I've played this several times over the years, and its grown on me more with each play as my tastes mature.   Still has a bunch of maps that got me killed in 2024, after ive finished stuff like HR and AV, and plenty of maps are memorable. Only real downsides is some of the levels have little content, showing its age.

      One of the earliest Doom user maps and It shows. Despite the raw and empty design, the author take a good use of 3D space creating a small fortress surrounded by mountains, the level Is fun to play and not hard. A fancy escapade and a piece of modding history.

      Third and final released map of a WIP episode by David Rager, it's more long, complex and hard than the previous entries in the series. A well made map with pretty challenging parts with a mix of monster usage, envoirnmental hazards and some puzzle gameplay. Fun but pretty harsh.

      Two more misplaced DM maps without a exit like QUDOOM (that at least had a exit room, while not functional) that caught me by their file name and leave me for the bad experience in SP. Chicken is just a long bridge between a thundering abyss where cyberdemons wants to destroy you, meh. Gangstar is a more fun map sets in a big, abstract warehouse where a cyberdemon roam free trying to kill you, shotgunners and lost souls are here in this Hell corner adding more pain to the thing, enforced by semi-hidden mazes, my favorite.

      This is like the physical version of the "we have X at home" meme in DM map format for Quake E1M1. Very poorly made, broken exit and missing textures here and there but at least the level KINDA resembles the original source somehow.
