I still have my old map site here: http://www.cruzan.info/bzflag/bzflag.html I have no idea if old maps will work now but you are welcome to give it a try pre-2008 stuff...

LARGE question... there is no REAL correct answer as maps can vary too much... Buzz, wrong... It is the crowd, and theme you are trying to get at. bust mostly the crowd, when I made Boxy War it was not for atheistically pleasing maps to show off to other mappers, like so many maps nowdays, it was f...
