Reviews:

Anonymous	Highly overrated even as 1994 map. Only e1m9 is potentially interesting, but has too many flaws making playing it irritatingly, such as too difficult puzzles, unforgiven in choosing the wrong route, very unbalanced and even unfair monster placement, and unhinted secrets forcing the player to press every wall. And of course the usual huge amount of texture misalignments. Rated as 1994 map: 3/5 for the effort (because DB2 did not exist yet), but don't expect decent architecture or gameplay.	x
Anonymous	Pretty pretty good.	x
Anonymous	Very good maps, and definitely harcore in terms of challenge.	x
Anonymous	Good levels for their time, especially the E1M8.	x
Anonymous	Amazing for their age.	x
Anonymous	These maps are seriously awesome for their age. They are quite challenging as well. 4/5 - Belial	x

Level Bugs              : You can get to secret mission from mission 1
                          and after you complete it you'll appear on
                          mission 4 instead of 2. This will be changed
                          when the other missions will be ready - so
                          current mission 1 will be mission 4. Now 
                          missions 3 - 7 are the same.

Information for each level follows...

Description             : 'Lost in souls'

Your main goal is to get to secret level although you'll be lucky enough just
 to survive the way to plain old E1M2. And maybe you'll discover two new 
 features of lost souls...

Description             : 'Hell's Graveyards'

Basically it consists of 4 almost completely separated areas and you will
 have to break through all of them in order to complete the level.

There are two megarmours and two supercharge spheres to help you withstand 
 assaults of demented Satan troops :)
