1994 Tune-up Community Project

About This File

Everybody knows that most maps from 1994 are pretty terrible, but what if we took maps from the archive that permit modification and then redetailed them?

The purpose of this community wad is to improve on maps from 1994. Most maps from that time had strong layouts, but poor design decisions such as misaligned textures, bad texture choices, hidden doors and mandatory secrets to progress. The aim of this project is to fix those problems and take what was already strong about the original maps and improve it.

Excellent old school dooming. It's like going back in time and playing the best maps that could be possibly done. I also haven't had this much fun on a wad in ages. This gets no less than 5 Stars from me.

Extremely nice, but a few game bugs that try to stick to their original wads. 4/5

Great concept and pretty good execution too. Found a few texture errors throughout the maps but nothing that breaks it. Music credits would be nice. Where the HECK is map17's music from? It's so familiar..

"These hypocrites re-do maps somebody else created and they're applauded and it's called a work of art." The original mappers are fully credited and their original work and text files are also included, moron. Maybe the original maps WERE steaming heaps and the revised maps are just better. Get over it. And next time you slate a project, make sure you know what you're talking about.

So you turned a bunch of shitty 1994 maps into equally shitty 2011 maps? Great job.

It wasn't executed in the best possible way, but I certainly beg to differ with anyone who says it's a waste or that it didn't respect its goal at all. The maps have definitely all been improved, sure some aren't great in 2011 still, but I think every one has some new life breathed into it, and there are some real gems of tune-ups (like Map29, for instance). It's really just like every other community project a grab bag and even if I ignored the concept and treated it as new maps I'd still call it decent. 4

Taken as a whole I enjoyed this megawad, but the quality of maps vary. Some of them are great, but on the other hand some of them looks like from year 1994 even after the modifications. 4/5 - Damned

An excellent idea and I cannot wait to contribute to a follow up project, if any. Also the map by Major Rawne is excellent despite a few minor graphical embarrassments. - Major Rawne

New life has been breathed into these relics. They're not all winners, but they've all received a touch-up that makes them MUCH more playable 18 years later.

      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.

      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

      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.
