Ktulu Calls Zaphod (BIG mistake) - http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?id=1529

i don't know what to make of this, it is a long and rambling map with some sprite and sound replacements, and a dehacked patch. you are greeted by the sight of a lake surrounded by a wall of everyone's favourite texture, FIREBLU, from which twenty cacodemons emerge when the gate at the far end is opened. the rest of the map meanders around several endlessly long, thin tunnels, a jail, monsters in cages, an irritating puzzle involving a cyberdemon and a crusher (some luck required to avoid the thing killing you instantly), a giant spiral staircase which throws bigger and bigger monsters at you as you ascend, and at the top, an amusing encounter with a spiderdemon and a hundred tiny copies.

the tiny spiderdemons (resized sprites) replace the sergeant, their sound effects are the original's, sped up by a factor of 2. unfortunately the pitch-doubled sound effects bleed into several of the other monsters, making the whole wad seem distinctly silly.

there is a plot, which has no bearing on the level besides explaining why the rockets have KTULU written on the side. i suggest not to read it, it's basically the fanfiction of a teenager who thinks the hitch hiker's guide to the galaxy and metallica are the coolest things ever.
