Anonymous	Feels like you're playing one of those 1024 or 512 square maps (very cramped). There seems to be a bug on 2nd deck downwards: you hit the left switch (next to green armor), short bulkheads come down, but you can get trapped inside those little rooms. Some cool ideas, but the whole map really needs to be rescaled so you're not constantly bumping into stuff.	x
Anonymous	Pretty good submarine wad.	x
Anonymous	good idea, bad implementation 3 stars	x
Anonymous	It's a novel idea - the level is set on a dingy-looking submarine - but it's not a very good idea. A submarine does not make for a good Doom level. It is a series of one-way sausage-like corridors with a mixture of shotgun people, zombiemen and SS guards. Fans of Osprey military books will probably ponder on the wildly non-standard uniforms the crewmen wear. I agree about the staircase, and it's right at the beginning too.	x
Anonymous	nothing special and very short 2/5 - PerOxyd	x
Anonymous	Like in socialism, good idea, bad implementation. Including Worst Doom Starcase EVAR. 2/5 (for idea) -- Brun Ohn	x

Note 1                  :  This was originally distributed in the form of a
                           self-extracting file (dasboot!.exe).
                           This zip contains all the files that are created by
                           running dasboot!.exe.
Note 2                  :  If you want to play this wad using Doom2.exe, you
                           will need to use deusf.
Note 3                  :  There are a few areas where you can get trapped.
