Reviews:

Zalewa	The WAD is... good-ish, I guess. The better side of '94 is strong in this one. E1M3 is best, some others are meh.	x
Nems	This was pretty fun for a bunch of deathmatch levels. I'd definitely like to see more deathmatch-to-single player conversions like this.	x

* The Background *

1994 levels catch a lot of flak these days, mostly because they don't follow
the expected sensibilities of modern map design (layout, pacing, balance,
etc.) but also because they tend to exhibit various bugs and graphical
glitches.  Regardless of the technical reasons behind all that (primitive
editors, incomplete documentation, and relatively slow hardware), there was no
shortage of ideas.  Furthermore, there was much less pressure to "conform", as
few players even had Internet access those days.  Many of those maps have
unconventional or outright crazy layouts.  Here we take the layouts (and only
the layouts) from various 1994 deathmatch maps, and build entirely new
single-player maps from them.

* The Story *

"It was a very long time ago, but I still remember like it was yesterday."

The large cauldron bubbled and boiled as Mama Impse stirred the contents
slowly, casting an eerie shadow on the cavern wall.

"When I was young and my horns were just coming in, the girls and I would go
down to the Containment Area to play hide-and-seek.  Sometimes the nice marines
would join in.  And there, between the boxes we'd lie in wait to ambush them.
But more often, we got over-exited and careless and so they found and fisted us.
It was a lot of fun!"

Mama Impse giggled like a schoolgirl, and for a moment she looked younger and
more attractive.  You try to imagine what she may have looked like those days,
but your contemplation is interrupted when a severed hand rises to the surface
of the pot.

"Well, looks like it's almost done.  Here, Sandy!  This one's for you."

She tosses the hand at the pinky demon sitting across the small cave, who
catches it in mid-air and gobbles it up in one bite and smiles at her,
satisfied at the treat.

Then suddenly her demeanor becomes more serious.  "Look, you have to go back
there and open the gate.  I want to see that place one more time before I die.
I'll get you what you need.  I'll get you the launch codes for the hidden ship
so you can travel back to Earth."

"But for now", she smiles, "let's have some soup!"
