About This File

This is a somewhat large level, so named for its central room with the large spiral staircase, replete with divers* weapons and sundry monsters. All secret doors have slight texture offsets, and there's a computer map behind one of them. I included every weapon at least once, and you'll find each kind of monster save the Cyberdemon and Spiderdemon somewhere in the level.

One room is reminiscent of Raiders of the Lost Ark (hint: lite-amp visors aren't always a good thing to have!). Another has three pillars in it; your selected skill level determines which one is your teleport destination. I have not played every WAD out there, so I think this is the first one to implement such a feature. There are a few wide-open areas suited especially for deathmatch play, and a preponderance of plasma rifles strewn about the level for quick rearming. Every room has at least one exit, including the lava pit outside (i.e., there are no "traps," per se).

If you enjoy this WAD, please email me and let me know what you liked about it, and also where you found this file (I'm curious to see how far its range grows). If you don't like this WAD, don't bother telling me, as I daresay I shan't have much time in grad school to fool around with level creation and fix what you thought I should have done. Finally, if you're a student at Colorado State, please look me up when I get there - I've never been to Colorado and I'd like some fellow Doomers to show me around!

Good effort for 1994, but the stupid crusher part sucks ass. Why didn't he make the light spaces big enough for the player to fit in?? What's more, if you back out, you have to time it just right so the door actually opens! How frustrating. I woulda given 4 if not for this lame part, inexcusable even in 1994.

This is an old level by a man who claims that his writing "tends more towards the pedantic than the pedestrian", as if pedantry was a virtue. As was the custom in 1994, this is E2M1 rather than E1M1. The level is absolutely unexceptional for 1994, undetailed and pedestrian, although not quite as bad as most. That said, the "Raiders"-inspired trap doesn't work at all (you're supposed to step into lit spaces in order to avoid a crushing ceiling, but the spaces are tiny).

A very reasonable attempt for a 1994 level 3/5

It's OK. Good construction and decent gameplay. I enjoyed it.

      These levels are short, sweet, and pack a lot of punch. Complete with a humorous end-text-screen containing a healthy dose of silly shock-humor, this a masterful triumph of Heretic map-making, and most certainly a must-play wad.

      A really frantic and fun DM map with pretty neat stuff like invisible pillar in the middle of the arena, doesn't have anything to do with the title but the level can become a BFG spamming fest soon, especially with bots. Less fun in SP but the arch-ville+bunch of nazi combo is a nice feat.

      Only six enemies (played on UV) and no working exit. Other than that, it is a pretty detailed map for 1995. I enjoyed the general design and the poisonous vats of acid. Very cool, but not practical for good gameplay.   EDIT: Just discovered this is a ideally a DM wad… haha, for that purpose, it seems good. My original rating was 2/5, will change it now.

      Lots of traps and monster closets. Some switches are activated by shooting but there's nothing to really tell you about this because they look the same as other switches.   Texturing is good and enemy placement proved rather difficult at times. There aren't may health pickups on UV so it was a fight to get through.

      It's pretty good for 1994. If you don't mind having no health items at all (except in a few maps) and the outrageous amounts of cyberdemons per map, you should give it a try. It's pretty challenging and I like it. E2M3 is a bit 'eh...' though.
