In Response To: Rubicon Volunteers - Hell Pfhor You (Steve Levinson)

And where exactly is here ,
: anyway?

Any ideas on what this level represents (well, what it may have represented early on)? It definitely is a Pfhor level (probably a ship since you have the green slime ala the Pfhor ship later on). Did it fit somewhere else earlier on?

** OH GOODY – IT’S A
: PUZZLE ** OK boys and girls, for the ultimate prize of fame and
: satisfaction, name the level shown in the pict at the left. C’mon – this
: is an easy one. You’ve seen this before!

It's from "This hurts less than... uhh..." - very similar architecture

: Lets check out the facts:

:

: You found the concealed switch

: You found the wires

: Put two and two together

: And then you log on to the wrong terminal

:

: Its the OTHER terminal - Over THERE

: I see you did get the table down... Well? I CAN'T TELEPORT YOUR SORRY ASS
: OUT FROM HERE!

That was pretty funny.

: None of this helps you to survive the level, however, does it? Well, there
: are 3 basic approaches to the level, one of which involves almost no risk.
: If you’re happy with the loot you can pick up at the beginning of the
: level, you can take a shortcut to the other side without encountering a
: single monster, other than that PCM at the beginning. There is a plasma
: river at your feet – if you can blast yourself up a plasma-fall, you’ll
: find yourself right at the exit terminal for the cost of nothing more than
: a loss of some shielding, a grenade and some bullets. If you’d like to get
: the mortar and all that ammo on the table, however, you’re going to have
: to work for it. You can still take the shortcut, but you have to get to
: two switches and to face a slew of enforcers and PCMs in the process.
: Nothing like what you have to face in playing the level straight, but a
: significant challenge none-the-less. Trust me – if you’re moderately good,
: you can do this. Just check out the Secrets Guide for more info. I
: myself have done it the long way on Major Damage a couple of times, and on
: TC using the shortcut many times. This may be a tough level, but it’s a
: lot of fun.

It certainly is easier attacking the level by grenade-hopping up the plasma fall and playing it backwards. And is it just me, or do the Juggernaut bullets curve around corners? I could've sworn I've been hit when the Juggernaut wasn't even in the field of fire.
