Comparison of versions

Several differences exist in this level compared to the PC version.

Room design

• The skin pillars in the chamber accessed from the north door in the starting room no longer scroll.
• The wall hiding secret #3 uses a metal texture instead of a marble face.
• An exit sign was added to the room containing the exit switch, and the switch itself is slightly wider.

Monster placement

• Monster variety in this level is significantly reduced compared to the PC version, probably due to the presence of the cyberdemon. All demons, spectres, shotgun guys and pain elementals in the level are replaced with imps, and lost souls are replaced with cacodemons.
