About This File

20 levels with play limited to a 384x384 square!

The player is often able to see a larger area and monsters may cross these boundaries. The only exception is where an exit line lies close to the edge of the square, possibly allowing the players' toes to cross over before the exit is triggered.

I've also followed the intermission scheme breaking it into three eps, though the theme in the final ep is not as consistent as it could be for reasons outlined below.

All maps were developed and tested to be played in UV from a pistol start. Playing through should be possible but health may be very tight. Pacifist is at least theoretically possible but space is often meager and you may have a hard time moving forward without clearing a path.

This was originally intended to be released in Early 2007 but got left to waste after a hard disk cock-up meant half the maps were corrupted. However a couple weeks ago i was forced to take a few days bed rest due to a minor operation and, laptop close at hand, had nothing to do but catch up on some Dooming. So i resurrected the working maps, rebuilt some others and have spent another few evenings since polishing it off. Enjoy!

Fun. Some of these maps (such as 16 & 19) are actually very hard. Lots of cramped fights and plenty of action, not to mention a fun concept. 4/5

I like it! The first levels felt a bit bland, but the challenges in the later ones turned out to be really interessting - esp when played without vertical mouselook. What a pitty this wad ends after 20 levels. 4 Stars!

Interesting. I never knew that weapon pickup time could be so costly. The lava room with imps on pillars was too much for me. Having to go Tyson on the imps while simultaneously hopping between pillars, all the while dodging revenant missiles, was just too hard.

Very fun for the few minutes it lasted! Although I couldn't figure out the last level so I used idclip and punched Romero's face. 4/5

Hey, pretty nice, actually. 384x384 is *very* limited already, but you still managed to make these levels quite entertaining. Kudos!

      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.
