Review: by PsYcHo KiLlEr:

This is a conversion of Doom II's level 11 or "The Circle of Death" to the Duke3d .MAP format. And I have to say it is a very good conversion. Everything is exactly like it was in the original Doom II level except for the teleporters, they only go one way. Plus, this conversion has some enhancements like slanted inclines and (since Duke can jump) it is now much easier to get around. A few gripes though: I found this level to be too small for 8 DukeMatchers, so I'd recommend 2 - 6, the nasty Doom acid has been replaced by lava which doesn't hurt you as much, but I hate DM levels with death traps, and I could of felt cheated by this .MAP. The one player mode has no monsters, and I think this .MAP would have been a lot cooler if the author put the original music in or even some graphics from Doom II. Never the less, I recommend you play this one with old friends and talk about the good old days of 8Mb, 14.4s, 486s, and BBSs.

The Highs - A very good conversion, DukeMatching in very familiar territory, nostalgic, lava hurts less than Doom acid, easy to get around in, low system requirements
The Lows - Not much better than the Doom II original, too small for 8 players, some things had to be sacrificed, would have been better if the author had added the original Doom II MIDI or some graphics, damn lava
