Decided to give this one a re-review, since I finally reinstalled the games and wish to replay through some levels. This was the first choice on my list and I feel it deserves to have another review along with several other wads. Altar of Evil has you blasting your way through a dark, hellish themed location with many tight corridors and claustrophobic rooms where Imps just can’t wait to sink their claws into you.

Introduction
Released for the Vertical Contest, Garrett’s parser requires him to break into Lady Mossy’s manor in South Quarter, to locate and steal the family scepter. And it is required to find the thing whole, not just a jewel of it. The task does sound really simple and shouldn’t take long. His parser also showed him the location of a storehouse with some equipment, and should start there.

Released for the Vertical Contest, Third Time’s the Charm has Garrett going to a Hammerite monastery high on a cliff. Two months ago, Gaston the Red took a job from a collector and never came back. Another thief took the same job and also never returned. It’s up to Garrett to finish the job to seek High Abbot’s wand, The Scriptures of the Master Builder, the Hammer of St. Marcarius and the Violin of St. Humphrey. The Hammerites have already been robbed unsuccessfully twice, so they’re going to be on high alert, but third time’s the charm.

Introduction
Nobody said hypocrisy didn’t have its uses. The Inventor’s Guild, always so secretive about its own inventions, isn’t beyond a little espionage when it comes to the inventions of others. They’ve hired me to steal the design notes from a young man named Soren Rikk, just on the outskirts of the Highlands Ward. He’s reputed to have made a huge discovery in a field the Inventors have some interest in. It should be an easy job. Soren isn’t known to be a dangerous person.

Introduction
Originally designed for the 768 x 768 Vertical Map Competition held in ’07, Skinny Norris is a large tower-like level for Quoth using an unusual mix of themes to create the playing field against a large variety of enemies. You must travel high and low in search of a way out of there, but at least you get the choice between the puzzles-path or traps-path. Isn’t that nice of them?

Introduction
The map title is a reference to the infamous game with the same name and sets itself up by following a really silly storyline. Plumber’s Don’t Wear Ties (But They Do Carry Shotguns) takes place within the walls of a large flooded Base themed map. The place is filled with many grunts from the standard shotgunners to the Quoth rocketlaunchers, that are just waiting to take you down.
Lately I’ve been having a lot of doubts about the rating system here and how it is used. I’m having the urge to scrap it completely. Read on to find out why.
