This is one of my favorite levels in DooM's episode 1. It has a very thick atmosphere made up of gloomy, somewhat cold tension. The really great music supports this perfectly. The many places that are darkened or with just some glowing light were not only awesome back when it was first released, but still manage to please completely. There are also quite some secrets and I like all of them. With a level like this, DooM really ruled the day and showed what was technically possible in 1993. It doesn't get much better than this. And I still prefer this DooM way over Doom³ - which might have a far superior engine but totally failed to give me the creeps in a way DooM did in it's day. Here dark areas add a lot to the game. And there the complete darkness ist just plain annoying.

I just wish, that demon hadn't biten mit right before the exit. It would have been a perfect run then. :(
