Standard old "first map". Angular corridors, awfull texturing, flat not alligned to grid, not unpegged lifts... In pit with blue key you must to use noclip, becouse of authors mistake in making a lift. How it's possible he didn't notice it and published wad?!

I can find only few adventages: Music (Low quality Nirvana - Rape me), no shitloads of powerups nor enemies. And he tried. but failed :D

Garbage.

This map is very poorly designed (room after ugly room with brain-dead texturing, and the usual newbie things, e.g. stuck monsters), except for a fun trap towards the end. There's also a major progression flaw here, which makes this almost impossible to complete without the noclip cheat. You won't get out of the blue key pit unless you manage to avoid triggering the last linedef at the stairs. --1/5

This is a "my first level" from 1995, and is exactly as you would expect; a lot of angular mono-textured rooms with monsters scattered about, textures misaligned. As the previous reviewer points out, you can't finish it without cheating; there's a switch in the blue key pit that is supposed to raise a lift to let you out, but due to incompetence it doesn't work, so you get unavoidably stuck. The rest of the level doesn't get much better.
