About This File

Short and simple, it's a remake of Doom 1s' map E3M1: Hell Keep. A few new surprises places that looked/played plain in the original is improved here.

It's rather easy so to that end it's not very interesting. Also, we are very familiar with E3M1, so what does this do to really surprise or delight us? Unfortunately not all that much. Remember that the original map's charm was in that it surprised and challenged people back in 1994. A LOYAL remake is next to pointless because the original map perfectly executed what it set out to do - which was to surprise, challenge, and delight.

This is from January 2007. It's one of several E3M1 remakes, including the recent id=14816 and id=15106, and the older id=12156, id=12484, and id=12875, which is from March 1994. Beats me why people remake E3M1 so often. This one is competently made, although it doesn't really stand out. The final tunnel section has a decent couple of surprises. Oddly, the penultimate room is based on the same room in id=15106, which wasn't in the original E3M1.

All those points are true but it is a good remake nonetheless. ;) -CodenniumRed

      These levels are short, sweet, and pack a lot of punch. Complete with a humorous end-text-screen containing a healthy dose of silly shock-humor, this is a masterful triumph of Heretic map-making, and most certainly a must-play wad.

      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.
