The map gave me a bit of a headache just because of the running back and forth. I've played far worse though, if you're into really old style puzzle maps this is prbably for you.

Mixed bag. Some of the maps are boring (map02) but others look quite nice and are fun to play. I liked map03's start room a lot.

IGN/IGN -10

Flat out awesome!

best wad ever 10/10 -IGN 8/10 -IGN

A really nice 'fort' map from 1995, featuring decent visuals and a layout where you can actually find the other players. I'd like to give this a whirl online.

Man, this is the MOST boring school map I've "played", and that's saying something. The shit I made when I was 9 was better than this, it's literally like a HUUUUUGE terribly boring Wolf3D level. Startan everywhere, and a few shotgunners. I can't think of anything more bland in the world of Doom... What's kinda weird, there's a random little square not attached to the rest of the level. (The file woulda been uploaded to ftp.cdrom.com, apparently)

Visually, ahead of the curve for 1996. It's a cool map too, but there's a lot of monsters for a DM, and the layout is quite large. Why did 90's deathmatchers love huge maps so much?

It's kinda glitchy, the blinking light is annoying, but it's not the worst mid-1994 map I've played. Has the typical "I'm lucky my woman still loves me even despite this Doom addiction!" line, which always makes me smile.

ROFL, Vac storage! Look out Dyson!

This is known to some as ozwango map01. Pretty good map for february 1995. The 64-wide hall to the soulsphere annoys me, but it's a minor gripe.

Pretty standard 1996 arena map. 3.5

Well, the visuals are nice for a '98 wad (it's not a '97 wad!), but man you'd need at least 8 players here for more than 1 frag per minute.. but then there's the frustration of the cramped hallways. I dunno, other than being visually pleasing, there's nothing special about this for me personally. I'll take worse visuals and better gameplay over this any day.

a 1994 sound wad! Oh, joyous day!

They're a bit bland, but they make for some fun endurance tests in SP, as no health is given until the end of each map. They almost feel like Doom 'mini games'. If you like OS stuff this should be right up your alley!

Man... This is 90's doom wad crap in a nutshell. Filled with terribly loud quotes from the simpsons and beavis&butthead, so you know it's gonna ROCK. Seriously though, the level design is just random and terrible, with some areas fullbright, some areas set to zero.. Map05 is apparently meant to be a mall, it's the only map of the bunch that isn't pure garbage... But it still sucks. This thing belongs in the past.

Best

Visually awesome. They're slaughtermaps, so I was surprised I could actually beat them after only a few tries! There's just enough ammo for the next wave, at least in the first 4 maps (up to map05 now) and the design is quite classy. Caught a few texture messups, but who cares. There were a few bits that annoyed me - on map03, when the archviles appear behind you, the only reliable place for cover is the entrace, and the battle can get a bit tedious. Overall though, this is definitely worth your time!

What the hell is this? Phil Collins ain't all that bad, but his music isn't meant for Doom at all... And this was made in 1998, it has no excuse!

Terrible map with a long, arduous Wolf3D-ish maze.. Still, I lived in Canberra, Would be fun to go back in time and join this competition :)

This deserves way more than 3 stars! Wtf is with the low ratings on the Doom/Heretic sharewares?!

Wut is this, me brain dun understand

ROFL, I remember playing this wad when I was like 7 years old, I had the sound up loud and shit my pants when the player yelled "FUCK". I also remember thinking the face looks like a grizzled old man.

Oddly, I had to use Zdoom to run this, because there's 2 or 3 missing textures. Seems like a pretty well designed map though, 3.5

Basis on Judas21 is VERY apparent, but it's still a fun map!
