Reviews:

Anonymous	Smallish stone/tech base with simple design. The fights are decent -- it's easy but there was enough action to keep me interested. Progression is a little unintuitive, just run around until you find your way to the red key (the blue key is not needed for anything but provides a shortcut). All three dimensions are used to good effect. All in all, not memorable but not at all awful. BTW, it's possible to get a plasma rifle quite early on. --2/5	x
Anonymous	Very 1994 looking and lots of the map doesn't make sense. By the time you get the plasma there's nothing really left to fry. I was able to grab both the blue and red key at the same time, and I don't think I was supposed to. But I still enjoyed this map plenty, due to the slaughtering and the nonlinear style. 3.5/5, rounded up for the hay of it. NT	x
Anonymous	Gameplay is okay, design and architecture is lacking. Yet, there were some elements I really enjoyed. Since it is the first map, 3/5.	x

THE STORY SO FAR!!...
 You bought the amazing new 3-D shooter from Id called DOOM and you very much
 enjoy it.  Now you downloaded this Doom level to see what it's like.  You
 change to your DOOM directory and, wiping the sweat form your eyes and 
 hoping desperately that your frail heart can take it, you start the game!  
 (Not very creative but you have to admit the fictional Doom stories are 
 pretty freakin' lame.)

* Play Information *

Episode and Level #     : E2M1  (First level in Shores of Hell)
Single Player           : Yes
Cooperative 2-4 Player  : Yes. Co-op is fun but key retrieval after dying can
                          become annoying (just as it can in any level with 
                          keys!)
Deathmatch 2-4 Player   : Yes! Quite a blast!
Difficulty Settings     : Yes. UV is very challenging. Try without saving!
New Sounds              : No
New Graphics            : No
New Music               : No
Demos Replaced          : I recorded one but decided the demo files are too
                          big and nobody really wants to watch me play
                          anyway.  E-mail and I'll send one if you want.

Base                    : New level from scratch baby!
Time spent:             : Let's not discuss it. (Probably around 80 hours
                          because I was misusing BSP at first (TMP.WAD!).  
                          I spent a lot of unnecessary hours fixing 
                          glitches!)

Authors may use this level as a base to build additional levels.  
In fact, you may do whatever you want with this file.  See if I care.
Just give me a percentage if you make millions with it. Oh, and if you
want to stick it in a big wad pack, please send me a copy of the pack.

FTP sites: America Online

That's all for me!  Thanks for trying it out and I'd love it if
you found time to E-mail me and tell me what you think of this
wad file. Also, I'm always looking for Deathmatch partners in the
New York City area {(212) and (718)}.
