lupinx-Kassman	May be safely added to your "bizarre" collection.	x
Anonymous	Okay,so there was a few problems.Big deal.But for it's time,it was cute and funny.I liked it b/c it was different.	x
Csonicgo	This was a PWAD made by computer department employees at Higgs and Hill, the company that restored Windsor Castle in the 90s. The caco replacement is the head of their boss! Given that this was in '96, the company was being bought out, and heads were likely rolling to remove redundancy -- So, what better thing to do than to put your manager's head in a Doom WAD?	x
Memfis	A weirdass wad full of crazy graphics, including a creepy flying head of some dude. You get to explore a cramped two-store office and a nearby cave. The gameplay is pretty boring but the custom content helps you to maintain interest. Cunstun2.zip, which you can also find on the archives, contains an excellent midi and classic 90's shitty sounds intended to be used with this level.	x
Anonymous	right, thats a poor level. mishmashed textures and even grey ones. what is this??? 1 star	x
Anonymous	What the hell? Some doors have no textures, they used that god-awful white and grey checkerboard for the buildings, and you have doors that open and the only thing behind it is a cacodemon. "Um, pardon me Mr. Doomer, but I'll just hide in this closet here, and if you open the door, boy, what a fright I'll put on you!"	x

Description             : An evil alien from the planet B-B-brunn takes
                          over the computer department at Higgs and
                          Hill.
                          Programmers and support staff start mysteriously
                          disappearing, and are being replaced with
                          androids.
                          Can you destroy this vicious monster before the
                          company collapses ?

Important Level Notes   : This is a complete reconstruction of the head
                          office of Higgs and Hill, with scanned wall
                          textures, clocks, cars, middle manager
                          monsters, computers, sound effects,
                          flushing toilets and a film show.
                          This is a moderately large level with lots of
                          architectural detail, but runs smoothly on a
                          486DX33.
