    Title: Moonbase (part 1)        Game: Doom
 Filename: MOONBAS1.ZIP             Size: 75k

     Maps: E2M1                     Type: normal
   Sounds: no
 Graphics: a new step
    Music: nothing new

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

  At most a one-way level.  Two keys used,  but the red one is dumb.
A lot of hallways, shot-trough windows and some stairs.  Nothing new
at all, could be done in early 94. Good light usage.

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

  Amazing.  Have you  ever seen a  level with  almost  two different
textures?  Many misaligned  textures,  some missing  lower textures.
The doors are kinda strange, but not bad.  No teleporters. The whole
level looks the same, but in fact,  it is not that bad, it was quite
fun playing it. Good placed lights.

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

  No  Tuttie-Frutti,  Medusa  or  HOM  effects.  Just a few  missing
textures.

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

  Quite easy.  Shotgun Guys and Pigs are the only enemies. Oh, no, a
Baron at the end of the level! The author placed a lot of barrels in
the level,  it is really fun to blow them,  if some Guys are next to
them.

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

  Plentyful  ammo  and  health.  Only  a few  torches and  a lot  of
barrels. The only weapon is the shotgun. Mmmhh...

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

  51%

  One percent just to  keep it worth downloading.  The author should
do a lot of 'fine tuning' and take a look at the editor. I'm sure he
will be able to place some different enemies and weapons in it.
Btw. PLEASE put all your  changed resources in ONE Pwad.  The author
will do some more 'Moonbase' levels, hope they will be better.
