It's peopled with competing evil splinter cells of an evil sect alternating with monsters and ... well, more cutlists and more monsters. And from there, on to the grand finale in the hub inside that ring.
As the GM, you can run it pretty dynamically (ie with cultists and monsters moving and reacting to developments around them) - or else you can elect to run it old-school, ie leaving each encounter sitting in its room waiting for the PCs to come kicking in the door. Well, more or less.
If you want the genuine old-school feel, though, (ie discarding logic, ecology, and stuff), Rappan Athuk may be more your cup of tea.

Not sure about "Dungeon Crawl" but so far I'm LOVING Necropolis d20. Congrats to Clark, Bill and of course Scott for their hard work. It REALLY shows here guys.
But yeah, Tomb of Abysthor and Rappen Athuk, don't get much better than that for REAL old school dungeon crawls.
