Q1SP: Arcanum Bonus Maps By Tronyn
Two b-sides to Tronyn's "Zer meets Wizard" episode.

These two maps were originally intended for inclusion with last year's Arcanum release. However, due to time constraints and quality concerns they weren't included.
(...) as usual, these maps are harder than average.

Arcextra1 
The textures actually made me vomit geysers of liquid shit out of my eye sockets.

It was also exceptionally easy. I think I left a RA, YA, and 2 MHs behind. This was not a problem because it was still pretty fun with decent monster usage and I like those wee imp things. 
Arcextra2. 
Great style in this, sort of Q1 mission pack with a hint of Zestorer. Properly Quakey but not still pretty fresh and great industrial designs, just worked really well.

Gameplay was mostly pretty easy, only left YA and 1 MH behind this time. Shamblers weren't a problem, some enforcers were a bit tricky. Nicely balanced throughout and more interesting than Arcextra1. I like the Scrag swarm near the end. 
 
-not. 
Well... 
I don't like the first map : too much colorfull. Too "clowny" style for my taste. Reminded me of the old Doom II style.

The second one is great, though. 
Lol Shambler! 
arcextra1 was meant to be a secret map, it's a map from Heretic ONE, which was made in like 1993, so it's supposed to be cheesy. palette's even more limited than Quake's. I should have made no "sector over sector" stuff for complete accuracy :)

What's with the DL being 53 MB? afaik it should be like 24.

Thanks for updating the screenshots.

oh and if I finally made a map too easy there's always PM's hell skill - heh 
TBH. 
Arcextra2 wasn't super easy, in fact it was standard modern Quake skill and pretty spot on at that. I might have preferred a few more nails and less MHs tho. 
Also. 
It was a really good map and I enjoyed it.
