Description
We come along one of the big classics of 1996! Jim Lowell designed this one, a level designer that was previously part of TeamTNT. As he later criticized, this level lacks much variation in the way of vertical surfaces (which I find odd based on the fact that the level ends with a 3 floor bridge complex).

There is very little difference between difficulties so far, the only difference is between Easy and Normal (the Fiend is missing on Easy). Surprising there is only one Fiend in this level and that it was exempt from Easy, especially since Lowell was rather fond of the Fiend.

Also, we get a boat ride with a Lava river. I then proceed to get injured by some Scrags before recalling a 25 Health on the opposite side of the river. I should have forgotten it, I ended up taking more damage than I got due to not jumping for some mysterious reason.

Also (yes, I know this description is pretty long!) this marks the beginning of a new piece of hardware for me. I have updated my headphones, which is what is the sound output for these videos. I am not sure if it is noticeable or not for other people, but it sounds great with my new system.
