"Water
Works" is another quality map by Douglas Magee
author of "Strogg Particle Laser".
"This
is the Big Gun Coolant Plant map...The mission is to infiltrate the Strogg's
Coolant plant facility and destroy the Dam which supplies power to the
plant." ~Douglas L. Magee
This
is quite some coolant plant by a dam site! A cohesive level with a clear
mission, fast engaging gameplay, solid believable scenery and some absolutely
spectacular sights.
While
I am sure that the dam itself will garner a lot of attention (as well it
should!) I was absolutely knocked out by the area depicted in the middle
screenshot. Textures, lighting and construction were just suburb. Large
rotating paddles (turbines?) and plenty of Strogg to keep you busy. This
area also has a well worn, dirty, oily look to it. You climb out of that
water needing a shower quick!
Gameplay
is straightforward with sensical tasks, and Doug keeps you posted along
the way with frequent updates on your field computer (F1).
The
final endscene is worthy of any big budget special effect film, and is
a fitting and memorable end to a well planned and executed theme. Play
it soon on a computer near you!

This large water tank also doubles as a "marine aquarium"...
Bridge over soon to be troubled waters...
Sure, you know whats gonna happen here, but it's soooo much fun :-)
