Infected Area

An obscure episode from 1996 reminiscent of Tim Willits' and Chris Klie's Master Level contributions, with an emphasis on switch hunts over large combat encounters. Chuck Grant's eye for detail is not as good, but the level progression is much better-paced. The highlight is a Pain Elemental mirror maze in MAP03 that displays an incredible amount of ingenuity for the time. Unfortunately, the WAD also suffers from the worst problems of the era like inescapable slime pits and unmarked doors.

 

Infected Area is a must-play for die-hard classic Doom fans, but people with modern tastes should look elsewhere. Make sure you pistol start each map like the author suggests, too.

 

Awesome lame plotline, 7 medium-size maps, simple colours, fun use of vertical space, tough and challenging gameplay (balanced for pistol-start). Solid episode. 

Seven solid, consistent levels from January 1996. They're very much of a piece - mostly dungeon-slime-techba se - and they're good fun and have had some thought put into them. There are a few problems typical of the period, with some featureless mazes, and the detailing is very simple. The levels tend to be a bit long-winded as well, but overall I enjoyed them. Appears to be the author's only set of Doom levels.
