Ever been interested in reviewing this: http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?file=levels/doom/d-f/end1.zip. It is made by NT of NEIS fame. I had found a YouTube video of him giving a walk-through/creation story/"why I play doom and you should too" of this. It is a very cool map set!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03407735746215722717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2781490333212566792.post-92070834066496299872015-05-11T10:41:00.045-05:002015-05-11T10:41:00.045-05:00While certainly nothing too special nowadays, Dark...While certainly nothing too special nowadays, Dark Covenant was pretty good for 96 standards.
