Intro: I was just looking around the /idgames site and spotted this map and decided to try it out. I played this in ZDoom and the screenshots are from ZDoom as well.

Comments: Can you say Mayhem! This wad is pure action all the way through with lots of monsters beaming in for the kill. The level is big and took me something like an hour and 45 minutes to finish on UV mode. I actually played this over 2 days because it was getting late on the first day and I needed to get some sleep. Overall the map is a lot of fun and although Russell isn't stingy with the demons, he provides enough ammo and health to help you get the job done. I died a few times and chances are you will too. At one point I was down to 18 health and that's when a bunch of lost souls appeared. Somehow I chain-gunned the lot and made it through to the health. It's moments like that, which make this a memorable wad, at least for me. ;) Furthermore this is a nice looking level with lots of familiar areas... (see below). This is definitely worth the downgrab.
Author Sayeth: A single one-player level for ZDoom, built as a tribute to ten years of Doom. For this map I took inspiration from a number of sections of maps from both Doom and Doom2. These sections where rebuilt from scratch and re-interpreted in the process. The result is a tech base level full of detail and ZDoom features.

Resources: Russell's site is Deullist.Net. A page Russell put up detailing the areas he re-interpreted from Doom and Doom 2 that he added to his wad.

Downloads: The download for the map is on the idgames archive. You can also get the download on this page on his site (you'll have to scroll down the page).
