This map left me with a big smile...
Layout is quite simple - it's a very small city-like area with some buildings - and detail is as low as you would expect from a wad from 1995.
The WTF-factor is the fact that this map actually IS from 1995. Innovation is the word. The textfile states, that the map makes use of the Archvile bug (invincible ghost monsters); however, this bug/ feature is only made very tame use of. But the way, the player is hoaxed in this map several times is really cool, not to mention the great finish.
I never would have expected something like this in such an early map and that's why I give it 4.5 impsballs.
