Bugs
Wall patterns which don't match up don't necessarily indicate hidden areas.
It exhibits the problem of flashing the ceiling pattern adjacent to walls > 504 units high. This occurs out in the canyon itself, and while slightly annoying, doesn't affect playability.
There seems to be a problem saving this level from time to time. I've seen this same problem with other .WAD's, but don't know what causes it. Most times it saves just fine, but occasionally I have seen the message:
SAVEGAME BUFFER OVERFLOW MEMORY ALLOCATION ERROR CANNOT LOAD COMMAND. SYSTEM HALTED
Toward the end, there is an area which, if you enter it, is CERTAIN DEATH. There is a clue as to which path this is which relates back to earlier clues in the level. Some people consider this to be a bug, but hey, some choices are for keeps.

Misc. Author Info : Architect
Description : This level may be played all by itself
as the first level of the second game,
but is intended immediately before
playing "HQ.WAD"
This is the first level I've tried to
construct, and it shows in such things
as mapping of wall patterns. It's a
fun level, though.
