Overall rating:

These four maps are hard to rate. From today's point of view, they're too easy and looking too plain. There's no real challenge in the gameplay, so it's almost boring. Also, the maps are very unlinear and sometimes confusing and have some strange features, like unrecognizable teleports.
The first map even has a bad bug: the room that contains the red key can only be entered with... a red key!
On the other hand, given that it's a wad from 1995, the author has put some work into creating interesting new textures and adding nice sounds.
