The houses were to be as luxurious as we could imagine, and money was no object. I came across some of these long-forgotten sketches recently and I found them quite amusing. Apparently I was not able to imagine as much luxury then as I can today. I also see quite a few oversights and design flaws. For instance, I find the lack of windows on the third floor curious, and I seem to have put very little thought into how the weight of the upper floors would be supported or how plumbing would be routed. However, my goal in building this WAD was to remain true to my original design. I resisted the urge to correct and improve, and built the WAD from the sketch as it is, quirks and all. I did get a few things right. For instance, there are no children's rooms, and as an adult I still have no interest in having children. The house has no less than THREE bars, one of them in the master bedroom; I correctly foresaw my predilection for alcohol consumption. The Atari 2600 game console dominates one room. In 1979 video games were something you were expected to outgrow; here we are 23 years later and all that has changed is that I have traded 'Defender' for DOOM. There is a bit of overlap between the maps; for instance, when you are standing on a balconey looking down, the area under the balconey is located on a different map. I have used the texture BLAKWAL1 to represent areas that were accessed or will be accessible on a different map.
