QUAKE. 2 new map reviews. posted: 6th September 2008 
Today we have two new reviews, including an impressive first map release for mapping newcomer Sidhe:
Dorghael Arhlannen (by Sidhe)
SpaceHulk 256 Brush Map (by Ijed)
Also, i have decided to take a temporary break from running and updating this site. However please note this is only a temp break, barring earthquakes, acts of god (im an atheist) or other unexpected causes of an untimely demise, i will definitely be returning to keep reviewing all the new Q1SP maps at some point (not sure when) in the future. Have fun playing and mapping for quake and make some epic new maps for me to review when i get back. ;)

Tronyn has come up with the goods again and contributed 2 more reviews for new maps:
Katagean Redoubt (by Simulacrum)
Freaky Base (by Trinca)
Also, remember to bookmark and visit Func_Msgboard which is currently and has been for a while the major focus point for quake 1 mapping discussion, feedback on building maps, and screenshots & previews of upcoming releases. In addition, Tronyn recently conducted an interview with Shambler which I will post soon.
QUAKE. 4 new reviews. posted: 11th May 2008
Haven't updated for a while, but im still here. Various maps haven been released since my last update, and four new reviews are posted today which covers most of the latest levels. All the 4 reviews posted today have been written and scored by Tronyn, so big thanks go to him.
I should also mention the excellent Quoth Part 2 by Kell was made available for download a while ago. This is a base-oriented update for the superb Quoth expansion and i will be reviewing it soon. Finally, an experimental map (with no normal monsters) called "Cogs Of Conflict" was released by Speeds, you can read opinions and ideas about it at Func_Msgboard.

Zerstorer is a truly classic map pack which still inspires both players and other map designers to this day, and is ranked as the number 3 episode on the Q1SP Hall of Fame page. 4 turtle maps have been released based on the Zerstorer theme and Tronyn has compiled a review for this pack. Also, I have written a review for a new map by LTH.

A bumper bundle of four new map reviews are posted today. Custom base map seems to be the main theme today, but Kell opts for something different with a traditional metal themed map. Ricky's "the hand" shows clear progress in mapping, and is the pick of the bunch.
