Tantrum

Awesome starting room. Looks very cool and has balanced gameplay. Sun-set feeling.

This is dated November 1995. It was remade as id=9644, a good and tough level. Taken on its own merits, "Tantrum" it is a superior 1995 map, but it feels like the PG edit of the 18-cert remake, with all the breasts and gore taken out. And the bit where Officer Murphy's hand is blown off - eww. The only significant new bit is an uninteresting dark maze / waterfall section. If you've played the second one, this is easy. A good example of how polish pays off.

(Note that I graded this wad below what it deserves, as it gets 4 stars, and I wanted to get the score down.) Good level, although it does not equal the standard of the remake. Still, a level well worth playing, and very enjoyable.

love this map

4/5 The encounters feel well balanced though some of the architecture is a little bland. I found myself eagerly anticipating each firefight to see what was thrown at me next. Health and Ammo are very tight. Watch out for secrets and tread carefully. - KMX E XII

Good design for the time and still great now. The gameplay is both challenging and engaging enough to keep you playing, and I like the claustrophobic, quick feel to it. Recommended 4/5. -TRRobin.
