Overall rating:

This wad, which replaces episodes I to III of Doom, has been compiled and uploaded in 2006, but the maps are older. They're mostly rather small and have less than 100 monsters.
Layout and details are kept simple, but some maps have some nice atmosphere nontheless. The simple means of Doom are made good and diligent use of. And though the maps weren't too hard, they are very entertaining, with many Cacos and Barons. I enjoyed playing episodes II and III straight off in one saturday evening.
Very oldschoolish, but good work!
