Anonymous	This is dated June 1994, so it's very old indeed. It looks better than most early levels, although that's not saying much; the textures are still wonky, but at least they are coherent. The gameplay has lots of cramped winding corridors, and there's an irritating reliance on switch hunting - often the switches are hidden, one of them is timed, and it's not really worth the effort looking for them. There's an eye-straining finale as well.	x
Anonymous	Very bright and very linear, this map features some nice progression tricks (with e.g. switches activating "secret" doors in other rooms). This may lead to some confusion about where to go, though. Some secret sections could be very hard to find. The texturing is pretty varied and ugly, but rarely out-of-place. Not good enough to recommend overall. --2/5	x

*****************   WELCOME TO TECHNOID.WAD V1.0 ****************************

Mutant TechNoid (Technical Nerds) theme.  Lots of computer looking textures.

Based on an earlier wad (techno.wad) I included in the rickdoom.wad which has
some of my first attempts at using DEU.

Getting the yellow key can be a bit of a trick, and getting the red one can
be dangerous, especially on ultimate or nightmare (if you dare!!).;-)

This level has some doors that are tricky to find or open.  Unfortunately, you will
have to find them and open them in order to leave.

Like the original e1m3, there are two exits: one to e1m4 and one goes to e1m9
(secret military base level).

There is a trap near the exit to e1m4.  If you fall into it (hint hint), you will
not die, but you will start level e1m4 with <= 10% of your health left.

I still think this would make a good deathmatch level.  The process for exiting
is complicated enough to discourage early exits, and all of the goodie (weapons)
are in areas away from the exits.

There are some "un-armoured" walls in this level.  These are walls that will stop
bullets and shot, but not rockets or fireballs.  Makes for some interesting ambush
strategy.

I may still add more to the outdoor corridor.  Right now there is not much there.

Have fun!

Rick
