Timeline

Unauthorized Access

Two bases, with lots of ammo and weapons in each (but shotgun and its ammo are split...). The object is to get to the other side's base... Texture choices make long-distance kills very difficult at low res.

What Goes Up

A straightforward port of Bungie's M1 level. A pretty nice job-stays true to the play of the original, except that there are WAY too many invincibility powerups.

New Pfhorte2 Menus

Changes the names of Monsters, Objects, Texturesets, etc. to more descriptive choices.

'Cuz You're a Boy

2 maps. Both are pretty nice-Double Helix takes a bit of getting used to. (Seems like it's got a 5-D aspect to it, but it doesn't...) This is one of the few attractive Pfhor levels. Lysurgic Dilithimide requires quick footwork to stay out of the lava...

5th Spiral

Concentric hallways spiraling out... hence the name. There are shortcuts at some of the outside corners, and at least one secret room. Also comes in a solo version.

Alamap-Cloud Port

Textures are painful at low res, but this map'll keep you moving (those nasty purple compilers just keep shooting...). Big weapons carry a penalty.

CrossPfhire

This map is a joy, both to look at and to play. Small enough that 2 don't get bored, but big enough to fit 8 without overcrowding. Very, very nice use of 5D space... hard to even notice it. (But it really makes the map work.)

Hexidecimal

4 incredibly simplistic levels. About 4 polys each... (I may be exaggerating, but not much). Some texture smearing because of room size. Whatever.

Kool and the Gang Maps

12 maps. Lots of (too) sharp angles, and some jarring texture choices, but there's some pretty nice use of platforms here...

M2 Suicide v16

4 maps (the M2 ports of Suicide 26). I like 'em much better than their M1 counterparts... there are a few bad sides (textured air) in the last one.
