Kingpin3	Really good little map from 98 :) 4 stars	x
TimeOfDeath	liked	x
Anonymous	Rated 2.5 Earthbase 3, MAP01. A compact single doom level. Three buildings with three keys, laid out as bunkers, play progressing from building to building according to keys. Mixture of stone and computer, adjacent. Some computers are chopped off to put doors through. Stairs and objects are out of scale, feels like giants lived there. Tough to start, with inadequate ammo, forcing some drastic measures to survive. The usual key on a pedestal trap, several times.	x
Anonymous	This is dated June 1998. It's a fun techbase / castle-style map, that starts off with a nice lot of carnage. It's actually pretty hard until you clear out the first zone, with lots of hitscan monsters and a couple of archviles. The design has some good lighting effects and attention to detail (the author ended his Doom career doing one of the less self-indulgent parts of Gothic99). As noted, all the Mancubi are stuck; perhaps they work in vanilla Doom(?).	x
Anonymous	A good level, beat it first try on UV. 4/5 -PC	x
Anonymous	A good challenge, it took 3 tries on ultra violence to beat it, it was fun. The mancubuses for some reason were placed in such positions that they cannot move and end up being unable to attack.. I don't know if this was deliberate or not... 4/5 ~Mike Reiner	x
Anonymous	A goodly bit of combat. The mancubuses don't do anything -- they just sit there, no matter how much you hurt them, waiting to be killed. Is that a technical problem, or the kid's idea of a feint or something?	x

Story                   : --------Briefing--------
                          0300 15 May 2019
                          We have recieved a distress signal from Earthbase3.
                          As you know, Earthbase3 is the planetary shield
                          generator that protects Earth from the hellspawn
                          invasions that have troubled us so much in the past.
                          We believe that a group of the monsters managed to
                          slip in while a convoy from the Mars base was coming
                          in.  We do know for sure that you won't have to deal
                          with any spider masterminds or cyberdemons.  They
                          have such massive energy fields around them that
                          we could detect them if they were here and we were
                          on Pluto!  So rest assured that your mission will
                          be "only" nearly impossible...good luck, marine.
