The Doom WAD Reviews v0.12
--------------------

by Colin Phipps

These are a set of reviews for single play of all the 
new levels for Doom 1 on ftp.cdrom.com beginning with 
the numbers 0-9 or with the letters A-B.

I am aiming to review all the levels on ftp.cdrom.com. 
I have released those that I have done so far mainly so 
people can comment, and perhaps reveal any problems 
with the reviews. 

The reviews are all in HTML. I am no expert, but most 
of the stuff should work with any browser. I know it 
works with Internet Explorer 3.0.

The reviews come are in two ZIP files, which should 
hopefully be somewhere near this TXT file. These are:

D1REV0B.ZIP - The reviews themselves. This is all you 
need to see the reviews. Approx 131Kb.

D1REV0BG.ZIP - Some screenshots of some of the better 
levels. If you download these, they appear beside the 
reviews, to give a real feel to some of the levels. You 
don't need these. Approx 615Kb. You have to download a 
copy of D1REV0B.ZIP to get the reviews themselves.

Here are some good reasons to download these reviews:

-	Complete download and read off-line. Useful for 
	people who don't want to spend ages on-line to 
	slow Web pages to find reviews.
-	Over 140 WADs reviewed already. Almost all of 
	the Doom 1 WADs 0-b on ftp.cdrom.com reviewed.
	Also a number of more recent WADs.
-	Almost all of the information from the Doom WAD 
	Authoring Template is included for every level.
-	Every WAD played and reviewed by one person -me!
-	Checking with editors for problems with levels.
-	A table of the all the WADs reviewed and the 
	ratings they got for easy searching.
-	Indication of WADs that run slowly for people 
	with slow computers.
-	Download file sizes for those on slow 
	connections.
-	Feel free to include these reviews with your 
	own compilations of reviews, or use them on a 
	Web site, provided you let me know and credit 
	me.
-	Sorry to disappoint the overwhelming demand (all
	one of you!) for the dates to be included. They 
	will be in the next release.

I would appreciate feedback. My e-mail is 
crp22@cam.ac.uk.

To use these reviews:

- Create a directory to contain the reviews.
- Unzip the ZIP files into this directory.  
- Fire up your Web browser, and look at main.htm.

Happy Dooming!
