dickie07.WAD, issue 1

The seventh dickie map is an interesting E4-styled challenge. Not a lot of standout moments or architecture aside from some bloodfalls near the beginning, but it's still a solid 15-minute romp. Progression towards the end becomes a little confusing, though, with the exit inside a rather mundane-looking tunnel full of enemies after escaping the Cyberdemon room.

I would like to apologise for using the word "fun" four times in that review. Replace the second fun with "entertaining", the third with "pretty good" and the last with "enjoyable".

I liked it

This is from May 1998. It's good fun, a mid-sized techbase / dungeon with a mild E1 feel. The layout is simple in a classic style, and there are enough monsters for it to be fun (including an imp rush at the start). The computer maze is a bit naff, but it's short. You can get stuck if you pick up the computer map and don't exit sharpish. The final battle is fun, and extended, although you get loads of rockets. Overall it's a very good for 1998, still fun today.

I really only think this should have 3.5 stars. But I was nice.
