About This File

[Note by the uploader: This is one of the very first pwads at all, made without all the tools, that came later. Read MAKE-LVL.TXT.]

This is a very simple level; square room with four small corridors leading off it. Designed for deathmatch (the more players the better).

It's small because it was designed by hand. (And building node trees really isn't that much fun). After I made it I realised that there wasn't any way to leave the level so I made a wall with switches in that end the level (it's a kludge, I know...) If anyone has any questions about making levels, or would just like to say how much they hated this example then feel free to email me at the address shown at the top.

Another essential part of Doom's history. 5 of course.

This is an extremely simple level built in the very early stages of DOOM's life. The genius of this particular level is that it was built without any of the modern tools needed by current wad authors -- and is better in some cases. The author explains how he achieved the build in a text file and is fascinating even 13 years later. Good show old bean. 5/5

If what the .txt says it's true, then this has some historical value comparable to origwad.wad. 5/5 just for that. -Maes

I can't believe this level still exists (the internet never forgets!). This was a deathmatch level only because I shared a house with other doom players. Working out the NODES structure was the main goal of this and was how we managed to get DEU to produce levels without Hall of Mirrors (or crash) problems. Alistair Brown

This thing deserves the same respect as origwad.wad, why isn't it rated 4 or 5 stars?

This is dated March 1994, which is very early indeed. The central room is actually a pit, and it's not very big, so any deathmatch action you have will be hectic. Each of the four deathmatch starts has a weapon, and I imagine the man who gets the plasma gun will win all the time. The textures aren't aligned properly, but that's par for the course for 1994, and you can hardly blame the author. May or may not be the first deathmatch level; certainly seems like it.

      Unloved

      I genuinely enjoyed this mod with its level design and music. It was challenging and interesting and it kept me playing a while after beating it to try to find anything. though I would say it was slightly repetitive and overwhelming with enemies at some moments.

      The Darkening Episode 2
      By LouigiVerona · Posted
      Writing a review for Darkening 2 is tough. It's a beloved megawad, and for good reason. As many other reviewers have said, it is historically a very important project.   It was an important megawad for me personally. I fell in love with the first level in particular. The music, the realistic architecture, so reminiscent of the video games of the 90s... It all left a lasting impression. And it was one of the most beautiful wads I've seen at the time.   But I rarely played anyt

      A competently made map, for sure, but fun? It's way too long and repetitive, with same-y combat & ambush scenarios used again and again, and with way too much enemies, and not that much of a challenge, even for me who isn't exactly fond of "SUPER HARD WAD #9263!!!!11!. You can cut the whole thing in half, and then cut THAT half in half, and it would be a better map. Is it bad? No, just a little bit above average, mostly because it drags a bit too long.

      Generally good map design, but the difficulty as is the case with pwads tends to be uneven even on HMP, especially when you mix them with what slaughtermaps tend to be (monster spam). Too many parts where, after pressing a switch, you'll spend some time killing enemies only to realise the map maker tried to get cute and spawned a bunch of hidden archviles somewhere to start reviving everyone while you were busy wasting ammo. This is especially unfun in parts with very little cover where you'll b

      The Revenant Problem
      By Ranger Qwerty · Posted
      I like the part where I pay for the numerous murders I committed by getting beaten up by either a Mancubus or an Arachnotron, it changed my outlook on Monster Priority. Thank you "Problematic" Revenant #7, I have yet to find a way to repay him.
