General Description : Tom Hall originally created the framework for
E1M4.
It makes sense that if I was creating an entire E1 of
just my work, this would be the level I would remake.
To Run This WAD : The easiest way is to download ZDOOM from
ZDOOM.ORG. You can
drag the WAD file onto the EXE (or APP), then warp to the
level by typing IDCLEV14 when you're in the game.
With the Toxin Refinery in the rear-view, you make your way to
Phobos Mission Control
where the computers crunching the data from the Phobos Anomaly are
located. You need
to use them to gain access to the Phobos Lab, but remember hearing
that the computers
were tied into all areas of the installation and that you never knew
when the environment
around you would change. You need to keep your eyes alert to all
movement - this
place is not what it seems...

So, I asked Eric to do a review of John Romero's new
map - E1M4B. Personally, I haven't had a chance to check it
out yet but I'm hoping to soon. In the meantime, here are Eric's
thoughts on the map. Enjoy!
Look both ways
before crossing the corridor!
This
is a very traditional Ultimate Doom map with no new music or
sprites; just good old fashioned Dooming in its simplest form. It
works well, too! John hasn’t lost his chops at all; he can still
deliver a fun, well planned out map that can put even the best
Doomer 6 feet under. This map is an ambush map; meaning that you had
better keep those guns moving if you don’t want to get flanked!
The
design works nicely in that regard; no keys needed here, just a few
switches that open up new areas, which also cause ambush traps to
trigger. I spent time back-tracking to figure out the next course.
Romero places cues on the ground in the forms of shadowy numbers.
The zone number matches the switch. So, that being said, I had a
ball running and gunning, getting clipped here and there. There are
plenty of supplies and secret power-ups to help you survive, as well
as lots of cool architecture that hides tantalizing secrets. So
close this review, download the shit, have at!
So, no, this isn't a traditional
"review". Just a quick overview if you will. I mean, really, I don't
know ANYONE who is qualified to actually put a point scale on
anything that John Romero does in Doom so you know, enjoy the map.
Now you have a basic idea of what to expect and a bunch of screenies
to guide you. Got get em!
