two maps, earth base theme, a bunch of 128-wide brown corridors mostly. doors have an irritating tendency to be only openable from one side, forcing you round loops, preventing backtracking for more ammo. i had to restart when i ran out completely in the small nukage maze, despite having loads of shells back at the start. second map is larger and more developed although has the same appearance, repetitive, drab, dark, no lighting variation/contrast. but the fight for the yellow key, ducking for cover from archvile on far ledge whilst getting infighting between arachnotrons and chaingunners, was good. sadly later turns back into sequences of doors, switches, and monster closets, although perks up again a little for the ending, except for that one last damn nukage maze full of spectres (half of which are stuck in the walls) in which the exit is hidden. the package is rounded off with a bunch of ill-fitting sound replacements. zombies curse at you and scream comically, demons sound like seductresses(!), switches talk to you in the star trek computer voice, and the "no no no you're doing it all wrong" of pushing on unreactive walls becomes tiresome very quickly.
