                          TiC's WAD Review
---------------------------------------------------------------------

          In irregular intervals I will review a few PWADs.
   All reviews are totally subjective, I'll not beautify anything!

    If you have any suggestions, ideas or whatever; e-mail me at:
                      denis@doomsday.shnet.org

    All files can be found on ftp.cdrom.com and its mirror sites.
      DON'T ASK ME TO SEND YOU ANY FILES NOR WHERE TO GET THEM.

         If you want me to review a special PWAD - email me.

[ Level construction ] ----------------------------------------------

  Mostly one way, a room, some stairs, some more rooms. Lifts, doors
etc., no special effects.

[ Texture design ] --------------------------------------------------

  A lot of misaligned  textures, extreme  use of light-effects (very
dark & blinking or very light).     Switches mostly don't fit, tele-
porters and other important floor & ceiling textures are wrong.
Door sizes are okay,  but the sides are moving,  sometimes a door is
opening into heaven.

[ Bugs ] ------------------------------------------------------------

  A few Tutti-Frutties. Many totally misaligned textures.

[ Enemies ] ---------------------------------------------------------

  Enough,  but haphazardly  placed.  (Open a door,  kill them,  open
another, kill them all again etc.)

[ Things ] ----------------------------------------------------------

  Enough health,  too easy in UV.  Only a few  things placed  atmos-
pheric,  mostly  just  to  get  something.  Illogical  key-placement
(depends on level construction).

[ Scoring ] ---------------------------------------------------------

  19%

  NOT worth downloading!  I recommend the  author to read  the 'Doom
Hacker's Guide' AND the WAD designers handbook.
