Entrapment A decent slime-filled techbase map. Rather green. The architecture and lighting is good. It's still a bit disjoint, though. Not too hard, might kill you a couple of times before you beat it, but once you know it you should find it manageable. Worth playing. I just wish the various sections weren't so separate from each other.

Lop3 A single large map. Starts off mostly as a sequence of smallish "rooms" (quotes because they're outdoor areas or caves, but they're still small rooms.) There are lots of traps. Later there are some larger areas, which are an improvement. The texturing is quite messy, in a mid nineties random style, although a common theme is blood, rocks, earth and wood. It's not unplayable, but nothing special and I'm bored of wads made of largely disjoint small areas.

MASTURBATION MAGAZINE 1 Like Kama Sutra, don't let the name put you off, there's only a crude title picture and intermission screen. Unlike Kama Sutra, the maps are fairly mediocre. We have four of them:

• The first is probably the best one; it's a fortress with a grassy courtyard, surrounded by monsters. More teleport in as you go. The corridors of the fortress are a little bland. The monster population is high, it's a bit of a slaughter map sometimes. Sadly the main monster teleporter seems broken and you can't get 100% kills. Hint: no matter how small the hole in the floor is, nevertheless if it's too deep monsters can't walk over it.
• Next we have a ledgerunning map in a huge dark cavern. It's nowhere near as fun as Slugfest 9, though. You pretty much have to berserk your way across a series of ledges covered in demons, while imps rain fire on you from unseen pillars miles away. Eventually you teleport to a small room with the exit and dozens of troopers. There is, as far as I can see, no way to kill the imps on the pillars, so again 100% kills is impossible.
• Gas leak! A small number of tunnels must be explored before the timer runs out and you die. The tunnels are small and cramped, but there are not too many of them. If you manage to do this you get to go up a lift to a slaughter in a confined area.
• An outdoor granite canyon full of lost souls. You are pretty much limited to a rocket launcher. It's quite cramped so the opportunity is rife to end your own life.

It would be worth downloading for map01, if map01 didn't have that bug in it, or for the atmospheric map02, if actually playing map02 wasn't as annoying. As it is though, probably not worth the bother.
