About This File

After too many hours I have finally completed my second complete external wad file for use with the registered version of Doom. As promised, the zip file also contains a re-release of my first wad megawatt.wad. This new version of megawatt has the bugs fixed and now has difficulty levels implemented. For those easily offened by satanic overtones, neither level uses any satanic textures. Megawatt replaces level one of episode one and Megalab replaces level two of episode one. Both levels contain multi-player and deathmatch starting points, and skill level options.

Two pretty good maps from 1994 that have some interesting ideas in them that show the author wasn't afraid to experiment. With some minor changes these two levels could go from decent to good.

Impressive work for ~20 years ago, Casey. A theme i notice with a lot of these "old, but decent" maps is that they look really cool in the Automap. E1M2 confused me for a while - The exit is where you fight the 2 barons!

This gets an instant star for the phrase "internet e-mail address" in the readme. Megawatt is E1M1, Megalab is E1M2, but they're two separate files, from April 1994, very old. Megawatt is decent for 1994 but too simple nowadays. It feels like a prototype of Megalab, which is good fun - not much detail, but the basic layout is solid, and the gameplay rattles along. A few bugs (stuck monsters, too-long walls if you play in Doom.exe) but nothing serious.

Megawatt is ok, but Megalab is really neat for a 1994 pwad, with a non-linear design and all. Gotta love the disclaimer for "those easily offened by satanic overtones". 3/5 for MW and 4/5 for ML

Some HOM, unmarked doors\lifts, and bad texturing(room high doors). Absolutely incredible for '94 otherwise. MEGAWATT is hard, make sure not to fall off of the ledges in the slime rooms! 3 stars for MEGAWATT, 4 for MEGALAB. 4 overall, you'll have fun playing these.

      Unloved
      By D3rpyD00dlez · Posted
      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

      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.
