Review by Kim Robinson on 2nd August 2007
Retrospective is a fun, large urban themed map; lots of locations, lots of key-cards, lots of monsters. Gameplay is pretty good, although it's mostly the same sort of stuff - go in one building, recover a card, use it to enter another building in order to find another card, etcetera. Design and fun factor make up for the occasional monotony however, on the whole the level is very well built and worth 20 minutes of your time.

Author Info : Blah.. Release Date : 31 July 2002 Description : I and Turpuli once met on the internet and asked him if he would like to make a map with me. He said okay and so we started (this was around February 2001). I did a lot for the map and I was almost done already while Turpuli had not even finished the supermarket yet. Later we kinda lost contact, don't know why and the map was around 95%, so just 5% from being done. I never deleted the map and didn't touch it either, till today! I thought, oh fuck it, why not finish it? Would be a shame not to finish! The quality of the map is not of the quality my maps have at this time and even back then I could do better! But that's all on purpose since we wanted to create a map with the original Duke Nukem 3D maps but just a little more detailed. That's also why this map is called Retrospective! Additional Credits To : Why should I, noone helped me or anything, well maybe Bob Averill for looking at this map a year ago? ====================================================================== * Play Information * Episode and Level # : - Single Player : (Y) DukeMatch 2-8 Player : - Cooperative 2-8 Player : - Difficulty Settings : - Plutonium Pak Required : (Y) New Art : - New Music : - New Sound Effects : - New .CON Files : - Demos Replaced : - ===================================================================== * Construction * Base : New Level from scratch Level Editor(s) Used : Build (and Mapster to modify the mouse(pad)).
