No thanks. While it's cool that this is vanilla compatible, I question how this won a Cacoward, even back in 2005. Suspended In Dusk is well detailed for a vanilla map with almost no custom textures, but many parts of it are still monotonously gray and bland, and the actual gameplay itself is a big slog. Just a lot of cramped samey looking corridors full of too many hitscanners and not enough health, all while you have to bumble your way around looking for keycards. The lack of any good midis in favor of just using the worst boring and slow doom 1 music is just another nail in the coffin. Sure it's only 4 maps, but even I value my time enough that I'd rather just trash it and move on.
