MAP08: Obscura (Altars of Madness)

MAP08: Obscura is the eighth map of Altars of Madness. It was designed by Alex Decker (myolden) and uses a MIDI rendition of the music track "The Flintstones Unused Song 2" by Dean Evans, a track that is included on the cartridge of the game , though it doesn't actually play in-game but was simply added to fill up the ROM space; it hadn't been composed for the game in the first place but was only submitted by Evans, along with three other tracks that ended up being used, after he was asked for any more music he had lying around at the time.

Secrets

 * 1) In the starting area, head to the two candles on the south side. Climb up to the thin ledge and follow it west to get up to a switch. This switch reveals a soul sphere in the middle. (sector 190)
 * 2) In the orange halls near the south side, go to the west room of the halls and use the southeast support beam to reveal a switch. This will open a wall further east which contains a megaarmor. (sector 720)
 * 3) When you head north to the northernmost room, look northeast and spot a red light in the distance. Shoot it to lower a section of wall to the east, where you can head down to get boxes of rockets and an energy cell pack. (sector 937)
 * 4) Head north on the walkway on the west side, making notice of the rock formation to the west. At the north end of this rock formation is a switch. Shoot it and head back south, then west to collect an energy cell pack. (sector 2139)
