Description:	I consider this to be one HELL of a level. Meaning you can play this for a long time and not win. However it makes a great deathmatch. I made the hard skill levels (4 & 5) look a little more hellish, because the easy skill levels are a cakewalk. I figure it to be a cheap reward. I've included a .LMP of me beating (finally) the level on Ultra- Violence, but haven't tackled Nightmare yet.

DoomGeek101	Odd map, short, and painful.	x
Anonymous	Typical 1994 map. Garbage! 0/5!	x
Anonymous	Very good addon . I enjoyed it.	x
Anonymous	It's enjoyably hectic, although not all that tricky by today's standards; which makes me wonder whether I have changed or the computer gaming world. I still find Manic Miner hard, so perhaps I am now had so much practice with Doom that old levels do not challenge me much, and of course I am now using a mouse to control my movements whereas in 1995 I used the keyboard.	x
Anonymous	Very nice! Good level layout too. Had a couple of scares there especially with the Cyberdemon. Get this map if you dont have it yet!	x
Anonymous	Sure the architecture is crap but there are several good battles in this small wad.	x

Description:    I consider this to be one HELL of a level.  Meaning you can 
                play this for a long time and not win.  However it makes 
                a great deathmatch.  I made the hard skill levels (4 & 5)
                look a little more hellish, because the easy skill levels
                are a cakewalk. I figure it to be a cheap reward. I've 
                included a .LMP of me beating (finally) the level on Ultra-
                Violence, but haven't tackled Nightmare yet.

                giant lifting wall and get out.

                remember what this is called. I just type in BSP)

Episode and level:      E3M1 (The sky is a lot cooler in this one)

Single player:          YES

Cooperative 2-4 player: YES (not tested)

Deathmatch 2-4 player:  YES!

Comments by Author:     Well, all of the work was done on a Pentium 100
                        with 16 Megs of RAM, so I'm not sure whether it
                        will slow down or not.  This one was tested on a
                        486DX2-80 and a 386DX-40. (!!!) Many thanks to
                        ^^^^^^^^^       ^^^^^^^^ (corresponding computers)
                        Sean Birkel and Ben Gates.  They pretty much told
                        me ALL of my bugs and helped me test it out on 
                        modem play. (These two have made levels more
                        complex than ANYTHING out there.  Try them out at 
                        CDROM.COM on the internet!) Also I want to thank 
                        the loan company who I owe......BIG!!!! I have 
                        beaten the level on all difficulty levels, but for
                        some strange reason, I can never get 100% kills on
                        either 4 or 5.  (Hmmm CyberDemon maybe??) Anyway,
                        it IS possible. (Really! I mean it!!)
