    Obituary 1.1, updated version

    Very good. New textures, new weapons, new enemies. Design and architecture is very well made. But this pack is broken, I repaired it in Slade. Rocket zombie is dumb idea, but I like it. It is really funny when they kill themselves. But monster placement is pain in the ass. So many hitscanners! Flamethrower is OP, but kinda balanced thanks to short range. 2 times I needed to use level editor to find how to progress, and few times I get stucked because of using S1/W1 trigger lines. Anyway, I spend a lot of great time with this wad.

    SERIES LEVEL ONE

    Not bad, but very short and easy.

    SERENITY III aka INFINITY (v1.2)

    Overall pretty good map set. Nice design and well textured. BUT playing this wad is sometimes annoying. Many hitscanners, not much cover. Litterally each corner has own exploding barrel. Every sector in secret area is marked as secret and is average of 20 secrets per level. Some secrets are needed to progress, but they are extremely obvious. Difficulty is kinda hard. Healthpacks are rare, hitscanners are not and slowly draining your precious HP. As wad from 95' really not bad. 4/5*

    Blue Hell

    This is very decent 95' map! If you don't find secret with bfg, it is really challanging, mostly becouse of low ammo. Some cool traps using instant lifts. There's some minor flaws like bland dark maze, but in that era map without a maze is not a map. For those who like classic maps, I really recommend playing this wad!

    Socksoff.wad

    Map is from mid 1995. It is simple in design like most of 95' wads. A little of switch hunting, but not confising. Monsters are too easy. BFG is unnessesary. Begining is challanging becouse of scarce of ammo. Overall map is average for its age, but for todays standards... Meh+

    Caos5 (Havok)

    Not terrible. Map is small with annoying kinda teleport-maze. Some wall-texured doors to make it more confusing. 2.5/5*

    Make one up

    Short, easy, ugly and undetailed. Nothing more to say.

    dumb.WAD

    Not much to say... It's Dumb. But I give a little + for another way to kill it, but still it's only one big square room.

    Undergound Military Bunker

    Very good map from 1995. Good design, some nice details, consistent base theme (it's rare in early wads). Only few minor texturing flaws. (Playing on UV) Challange is mostly made of big number of hitscanners and hordes of pinkies, but overall it's well spend 20 minutes of my life. Ammo and health balance is perfect. I never had to much ammo. 4.5/5*

    right.wad

    Map made in 1995, typical for that era. You can find mazes, square rooms etc. But few rooms are better with some details and more intresting. None of teleporter flat is correctly fitted to grid. Gameplay: Monster placement is not bad except two rooms. First when you teleport into small room tightly filled with pinkies. Second is the worst of the worst. You are teleported into big square room crapped with pillars and monsters including archville where no place to hide. Backtraking is present, but not disturbing. Overall: Ok, but some places are very bad designed.

    Again.wad

    Like most of '95 maps, low details, square rooms etc. You can find here some weird use of textures and walkthroughalbe bars. In gameplay side, map is ok. No challange, but not boring neither. Overall is barely below average. 3-/5*

    Higher (latest)

    Only first map is good, where you must run away from cacos. but when you get ssg everything becomes bad. Visualy this wad is below average (from 1995) missaligned textures, very big square rooms. At least no maze included. Maps 01-03 have a lot of backtracking, and switch hunting, but they are easy to find. Map 04 has INSANELY high lift. One way lasts so long, that you can go make dinner, clean your room, drink some beer, and still wait for it. Overall waste of time, but not terrible. Just below average of 95 wads.

    STRAPS v2.1 (Doom ][ version)

    Not recommend, this map is made of 2 rectangular mazes and few bigger rooms. Mazes are confusing even with automap. Only one area is intresting, but overall meh. Progression is also confusing. I didn't make through this without help of map editor. 1.5/5*

    HellHole

    Comparing to others wads from 95, this one is pretty nice detailed. There are some minor texturing issues mostly next to stairs. Overall it's looks nice. But all others parts are screwed up. Map is very cramped. Rooms are small and corridors narrow. Monsters are weak, provides no challange. Gameplay is mostly switch hunt, including unmarked switch on the left on kind of hidden corridor with exit sign. Map is short, if you won't stuck like me you may do it in few minutes. Also I found a bug: damaging floor in secret area which clearly shouldn't hurt. Overall: Why I'm writing so much about kinda crappy wad from over 23 years?? 2.5/5*

    AL|ENS Total Conversion (Disk 2)

    Incredible! Must play! Almost every texure, sprite and flat were replaced. Maps are really nice designed and detailed (for 1995). Ambient sound, sometimes phrases from the movie (i think, I've seen Alien long ago) Few types of aliens, great atmosphere, scarce ammo muliplies sense of threat. what else to say? But there some bugs (sadly not only facehuggers, which doesn't hug)... I don't know if bugs come out from GZDoom, or I messed up but: Aliens which throw acid still has sound of imp, some railings are messed up and fly near the ceiling. Saddly there's no exit from final level (E2M8), because author used Alien which is Mastermind replacement, not cyberdemon. Secret level is SO BAD... It is punishment for nosiness. Map is large undetailed maze with ugly texturing. Moreover this is triggerhunt, you have to find a line which opens more of maze. Better don't find this shit. Overall, except secret level this is really great adventure, but not without a flaws. 4.5/5*

    Spiral Zippy!

    Some missing textures, weird maze. Not sure if author tried to make multilevel illusion or not but anyway he screw up. 2.5/5*

    Newt.wad

    Map is made correct, but short, bland, plain, nothing more than some rooms filled with monsters opened one after another.

    "Shoots" -N- Ladders 2.0

    Impressive features for 95 wad, but it is made by good engineer but no artist. Ladders, map with indicators which switch left to find, great concepts. But ladders are glitchy (in GZDoom) player and monsters sometimes getting stuck in floor. It's a shame that gameplay is bad. Starts in the room filled with mostly hitscanners (infighting gets almost 40 of them), vaults filled with ammo. Visuals: 2/5 Gameplay: 2/5 Cool stuffs: 4/5

    Elements

    Map is looking good in comparison to others 95 wads. Gameplay is ok, nowhere to get lost, nice traps etc. If you like classic maps, you should try it! 4/5*, becouse level is good, but nothing special.
    For its time in 95, is looking nice. But Gameplay is RUINED by switchhunt. If someone don't like archvilles, better dont touch it even with a stick ;) Anyway, I don't recommend to anybody. Going there and back again and again isn't fun at all.

    Deathrow

    Desing is odd, but in that days in 95 not bad. But biggest issue is gameplay.difficulty level is screw up becouse of big amount of powerups and BFGs. Prossesion is also crap caused by unmarked secrets needed to get a key. Overall 1.5/5*

    The Ascent

    Very good map! Well design, nice looking. Ammo is very low, but doable. I didn't manage to get 100% kills, becouse I ran out of ammo, but luckly I get to exit in one piece. It's fun even now after 23years! In other hand it's not best wad from 95. 4.5/5*

    JAX02.WAD

    Better than JAX01, but still not good enough. Gameplay is very repetitive, again hordes of enemies, but this time you can feel some kind of nonlinearility, and few areas are intresting. 2/5
  23. Meril

    Dark Base

    Bland, rectangular design. Monsters are easy, very unsatisfactionary placment of BFG (near start), but it wasn't even useful becouse the hardest enemy was baron. In 95 there were much beter wads.
  24. Meril

    JAX01.WAD

    This map is ugly. Shitload of enemies, tighly packed in all over the place. Gameplay is litterally go forward and never release the trigger. But it is playable. 1.5/5*
