The Matrix

Amazing attention to detail. This was made 21 years ago when the editing programs then make the ones now look like ms paintbrush. I had fun with the gameplay, no groundbreaking material - just a big, complex and functional level.

Good level, but should be longer

I like it, and I enjoyed playing it. There is a Spider Mastermind and a Cyberdemon. Just press the switch in UV in the outside area and Voila! -NaZa Productions

Competently made, nothing really memorable. It's very easy and plays more like a Doom 1 map. I couldn't find the way to the exit.

A great pwad, considering it's both from 1995 and the author's first map. Ben Gates also made E1M5 of the classic wad Fava Beans. The style of this map is similar, with all sorts of mechanical details and windows for sniping. It's easy even on UV, but it's still very fun. 4/5

Three stars for the level, though. The author comes across as an absolute tit in the readme file, but the level is competently done albeit with slightly odd play balance (lots of weak monsters, almost no strong ones, and a boss battle that pits you - armed with a BFG and an invincibility sphere - against a single Arachnotron!). With a bit of tinkering it wouldn't be amiss in a modern-day retro megawad.

You should place a cyberdemon which comes on HMP, UV and nightmare and a Baron of Hell on ITYTD and HNR.

Good level. For those who claim there is no Cyberdemon, try playing this level on UV. Not only is there a Cyberdemon at the end (near the red exit door), but there is also a Mother Spider too. This level is beatable in UV.

I liked it - COOL

I agree with the above reviewer, its good even for todays standard (2005), skill 2 is too easy, 3/5

This is an early map, but it's not that bad looking. All textures are well-aligned, the texturing is logical and the lighting and layout of the map are interesting enough. The map is quite big and nice to play in. But unfortunately, it's also very easy. I never needed the rocket launcher, let alone the Plasma and the BFG, and an Invincibility sphere at the end didn't make any sense at all - where was the Cyber?? 2/5 -Milian

5 stars for the name alone :P
