Anonymous	Funny concept, but bad gameplay. 3/5	x
Anonymous	I loved this wad as a kid. Still love it. Csonig approved!	x
Anonymous	It's a neat concept, but the midi music starts grating and I don't like running around a deserted level after I've killed everybody trying to figure out what flips what.	x
Anonymous	^wtf kind of comment is that!? There are plenty of reasons to download maps from the old archives. As for this map, it is a strange old map in which you are supposed to be trapped in a giant pinball machine I suppose. The new sounds are a bit annoying after a while, but it is neat.	x
Anonymous	1 of the many reasons you should get your levels from the ports section	x
