The Apocalypse Project

I got a goddamn bone to pick with this wad (or at least the D2 conversion)... the exit of level 3 (the sewer one) just takes you back to the first level, and I can't find no other exit in this bitch.  I know that in D2 conversions exits to secret levels do this, but the exit to this one seems to be the legit one, and so I have to IDCLEV to level four to continue.  So whatever the screw up was, I don't like it.  Also I can't play the secret level on my crusty-ass version of Chocolate Doom without it crashing, and it's the most well known level in this wad.  So it sucks. 

Nice episode, e1m9 is very cool

Don't get fixated about E1M9 - it may be a bit weird, but the other levels are good. E1M5 particularly is very creepy and interesting. It's a truly oldschool WAD. 5/5

Hmmm... Tipical 1994 levels, but in this occasion not very enjoyable and without interest. If you aren't an oldschool maps fanatic, avoid them. Meh.

Yuk. Overall pretty bad. I haven't played through the whole thing. Got annoyed on E1m9 after a string of annoying things along the way and decided to stop. If u like exploring long, open, underdetailed areas then go ahead and have a blast. If on the other hand you want to play something half-decent, stay clear of this one. 1 Star. --- Starburst

Most of this episode replacement sucks. Go straight to the secret level. It's a hellish level that uses outsized scale and dramatic differences in height to create a huge underground cavern of fire. The central feature of the level is an extraordinarily long, winding staircase running from one side of the level to the other. Just to get up it takes a minute. At some points in the level you'll be on a narrow ledge and be able to stare out for what looks like kilometres of distance. Excellent geography.

Very old school—sparse details, monotone texturing, and one real buggy level! Even still this WAD has two very good things going for it—A specific story backed up by a natural progression of levels, and great use of scale and layout. E1M9 is the best level, but the other levels show nice ingenious touches as well—I liked the torture chamber and the incinerators. Play with Gzdoom + lights.pk3--the lighting adds wonderful atmosphere that makes this wad replacement all the more enjoyable.

Overall pretty good.

The first WAD I played... ever. It has a special place in my heart. It may be simple, but it is still fairly good - it has a developing storyline, dark and creepy atmosphere (one of the few WADs that actually freak me out), and is reasonably challenging. Playing it brings back lots of fond memories... - 5/5 (D!)
