Mission notes

This entertaining 1997 level comes with no credits in the MN2 file and no TXT file. Release date is that of the HOG file timestamp. 

This level is well designed, with a lot of weaponry and hordes of bots. Fighting fun is assured. 
There is no Full Map powerup but there are secret tunnels, control panels, false walls, one-way walls... all the D2 stuff. 

On the negative side, some areas are not well segregated, so that bots can flow toward the player, who fights a large number of them and then flies through empty halls. 

Played with D2X-Rebirth (release Jan 2024) and D2 DOS v1.2 (DOS Box).

SPOILER.
Inside a tricky room, hitting the wrong control panel activates many concealed generators of the deadliest bots... but invulnerability and powerful weapons are at reach. 
The Boss bot can't move, it's easy to beat, however the way to the Exit tunnel must be unlocked by means of a control panel. The Exit door is hidden behind a false wall.
