This wad is quite a mystery. The info files in the zip are dated 1994 and the Doomworld archive lists a release date of january 1995, but the wad-file itself is dated february 2000. And the map itself doesn't give a hint about which of the two dates is correct, because for a 1994-wad this is exceptionally good and for a 2000-wad it's quite mediocre.
However, it's a medium-sized castle map, not too challenging but a bit confusing, because lifts and doors are triggered at unknown places. There are some missing and unaligned textures, but those are only minor glitches. It's not a map to remember, but good enough to give it a run.
