So I was at this russian website doing russian things and I saw that they were giving reviews of these maps in Russian. If you see your map in the list below (or would like to play them) then go and take a look (use google translate). Almost all the maps are single player because that's what I like. But lot of the maps are "my first maps" and so may possibly be a waste of your time.

371. Dream
373. Ministeve: The Beginning
383. Map with no download
390. Map with no download
1250. Looping Stage (gone)
1328. Ominous Reality
2106. Nightmare: A Horror Map
2229. Challenge
2327. Two Tower
2337. Small Battle
2393. Small Battle 2
2817. Impulse 101 - The Train (gone)
2961. Func_breakable - THE INVASION (gone)
2996. Complex (not actually sp)
3026. The Party (gone)
3166. Sand 01
3347. Rescue 2 (gone)
3390. Barrel of Grunts
3403. Xen Transportation
3411. BOG (stands for barack obama grenade)
3734. On The Other Side (gone)
3908. Vital Signs
4073. Ickylab
4314. In The Kitchen
4502. Quanintine

In addition to regular mapvault maps, there were also some compo maps floating around at the russian city 17.

Ruled by Insanity (twhl compo)
De-Railed (twhl compo)
Agamemnon Icarus Glass (twhl compo)
Emissary (twhl compo)
Test Lab 16 (twhl compo)
Cause of Death (twhl comp)
Funhouse (twhl compo)
No Name (twhl comp)

I'm curious as to what happened with the (gone) maps. I might want to try some of them but it's not on my priorities. But at least please give me an explanation as to what happened to them. Thanks everyone.

Sweet find, but how about a link or at least a name to look for?

Too bad nobody reviewed my old Alien Blast mod :walter:
Still very cool.

And seeing "Nightmare" on that list reminds me that it has no place in TWHL's top maps vault.

I played alien blast once upon a time. Wasn't it's gameplay something like room with horde of monsters - fast conveyor to next room - room with horde of more challenging monster-and so on.

Twhl's top maps can be kinda random, didn't csde school assault become a top map?

It has a page for one of TrooperDX3117's maps, with commentary about it. I shall have to tell him.

Woo! Good to see the old Santa's Revenge is still doing the rounds. That is enough to make me happy.

I Googled "Half-Life Uplink Extended" the other day and found tons of websites that had a review and/or a download link to the mod.

I mean, seriously:

3734. On The Other Side (gone)
This was my entry to the Casa del Administrator competition. It's gone because it stopped working for most people who downloaded it.

@Captain: No, I never used an installer. It was just the mod folder.
It's still up on File Planet: http://www.fileplanet.com/136194/130000/fileinfo/Alien-Blast

Soup: man that game was great fun and brilliant work for your first mod! The music and the nice little intro sequence accompany the gameplay nicely.

!ALIEN BLAST SPOILERS BELOW!

One thing: you could move on to the next level without completing the previous level. e.g., for the marine level, i just ran though the door to the next one.. =)

The gargantua level was impossible for me until i realized i had the gluon gun. =)

The last level was impossible for me until i realized the nilinath monsters had a limited range.. =)

Great fun! I really enjoyed playing this, and it gives me some new ideas of what i'd like to do for my rooms:s entry! =)

You shouldn't have enjoyed it that much :P It really was a shit mod made with the absolute noobiest mapping knowledge.

The gargantua stage was the only stage that really took dexterity, if I remember correctly. Did you use the long jump to hop around while shooting the gargs?
Posted 13 years ago2011-01-17 05:40:17 UTC Post #289243
didn't really need too, the gluon gun made short work out of them. The previous time i tried that level with only the tau cannon, i couldn't beat them.. =)

It WAS truly fun, and just the right amount of ammo for most levels, for if you wasted any, you'd run out with your current weapon. (i didn't realize you kept weapons from previous levels right away, thinking there was a weaponstrip after each stage..)

In the Spanish forum, everyone's like:

"YEZ, FINALLY I KILLED THAT GARG :G"
"I liked it a lot"
"It's the same lenght as the original Uplink, but a lot better"

I just googled flat-life because of this, and it turns out someone actually beat tetristis! I didn't even think that was possible :P
