TimeOfDeath	it was pretty fun	x
Anonymous	It's obvious that a lot of work went into these levels, which are generally very large; unfortunately it was a lot of bad work. There's a useless sprite replacement, and some of the sounds have been edited and swapped around. The levels are angular and cluttered, two years out of date for 1997. There are some odd, almost clever, but ultimately misguided ideas (e.g. the garish elevator on Map03). Skip to Map05, play that for five minutes.	x
Anonymous	Not bad maps overall.	x
Anonymous	weirdest wad (in a bad sense) i've seen since nightmares of loki. the maps were ok though, so i'll give it a ** -sargebaldy	x

* Play Information *

Level #                 : MAP01 thru MAP05.
                          This PWAD should run on DOOM ][ 
                          versions 1.2 thru 1.9.

Play notes: These levels will not be very good
            on anything less than a 486/66 w/ LB video.
            To play PAROXYSM, the install partition
            must have 4.1 meg free in order to unpack
            the PAROXSYM.ZIP archive and then an
            additional 4.0 meg free to install the
            sprites. If this is true, then proceed
            as follows:

Unzip the PAROXYSM.ZIP archive so 
            that its contents reside in the same
            directory as your DOOM2 binaries then
            run the DOS program PAROXYSM.EXE to
            install the sprites and/or run the game
            afterwards. PAROXYSM recoqnizes the
            following command line arguments:

-RESPONSE = Use external response
                        file 'PAROX.RSP' if it exists
                        in the current directory.
            -HELP     = pages this file.

If this is not desirable or practical,
            then issue the following DOS commands:

DEUSF -SPRITES -ADD PSPRITE.WAD PAROX_FX.WAD
            to install the sprites, and then:

DOOM2 -FILE PAROX_FX.WAD PAROXYSM.WAD
            to run the game afterwards.

The PAROXYSM archive should contain:

Filename:      Description:
             ---------      ------------
             1) PAROXYSM.WAD   level data.
             2) PSPRITE.WAD    sprites data.
             3) PAROXYSM.TXT   ftp.cdrom.com text.
             4) PAROXYSM.EXE   utility to install
                               and run PAROXYSM.
             5) PAROXYSM.C     MSC source file.
             6) DEUSF.EXE      utility to
                               merge sprites.
