Mike's 1st

This is dated August 1994. It's one of those 1994 levels that feels like a collection of random rooms joined together with twisty stairs. It's dull and unentertaining, although there's a decent bit, at a stretch, with some imps that teleport into a room. Occasionally unintuitive; an unmarked wall in the start room is actually a lowering door.

The fact that this is better than some of the rubbish created today by people with far superior tools may shame them but doesn't entirely redeem the haphazard design of this map, lack of any consistent aesthetic, poor texturing and near-absence of variation in lighting. It's perfectly playable, even sporadically challenging, but feels somewhat flat and lifeless.

Wow! This was impressive for such an old wad. I like the invasion style battle with the imps. I didn't like how there were parts of the level where the doors were not even marked and were hard to find. It took me 5 minutes to realize that there was a lift at the beginning of the level that blended into the wall. There are also random rooms that have random textures. Overall, I would give it a 3/5.
