Fiasco 2. Not sure if there was a Fiasco 1. Made in 1996. For a 1996 wad, it's pretty good. Author says he spent about 25 hours on it. Most of the level looks aesthetically pleasing. The gameplay is really drawn out though due to tedious key and switch hunts, and there are a number of teleporters that send you back to the beginning of the map, or near it. You will drown in ammo, even if you don't find the secrets. One of the secrets lets you totally neutralize a pinky encounter before you would reach it normally, which is neat. Most encounters are not challenging, but there where one or two that got my heart rate up a bit. I would recommend it. If the author really did spend 25 hours on, it commend him for it. I imagine that what he built would be all the more difficult without a 3D editor. Pic related is at the very beginning of the map, but it is representative of the visual quality through out. Not bad at all. The read me file is pure soul.

The ASCII art is just great, lol. I tried to find a picture of Sgt. Dombrowski, but couldn't.

Going to do a third wad tonight. This is kind of fun.
