Known lost WADs of our history?


Recommended Posts

Now come to think of it, B.P.R.D's doom website is somehow still running right now, and there are a few wads that he didn't bother to upload to /idgames. Seems like a good idea to save them before the site is down.

Risen Egypt by sitters

Sounds like that became Hell on Egypt. There's also a video of an earlier version.

 

As I mentioned in my own thread, I'm hoping to see more levels by the Midway level designers and the combined Master Levels megawad that Tom Mustaine assembled shortly after the original was released.

Alien Vindicta - an early version of Alien Vendetta that was never released. Andy Johnsen still has it.

 

E1M1 if it was slaughterman - the link in the description doesn't work. I had asked the author about it, but he said that the laptop the wad was on is broken, but he will fix it and get the wad back.

 

BEYOND - it's mentioned in description of another wad by it's author. I can't find BEYOND anywhere.

Joe Anderson WADs, found this one thanks to a thread that pointed how all of his WADs started being removed from the archives suddenly. Even trying to look up the author's name is hard. Some of the WADs did exist and where even reviewed on the ONEMANDOOM Blogpost. There's still some randomly preserved zip files, but I couldn't find more info as to why the sudden disappearance of the WADs and how many there actually are.

Like hypothesized in the linked thread, I assume he got cold feet after having his GameMaker projects ribbed on Gaming Garbage and deleted everything out there in a panic. The video(s) in question weren't even paticularly mean, but everybody reacts differently to that sort of response I suppose. Or perhaps he wasn't satisfied with his output and wanted to have some form of fresh start. Who knows.


TOT COMICS DOOM can still be found on Wad Archive and comes recommended. It's a simple, good natured map pack that is at approximately coffee break length. The MSPainted stuff here and there adds a bit of charm.

Really wish Anders Johnson could release, too.

 

Something that probably isn't too irrelevant, joshy once said that there is supposed to be another darkwave map for Speed of Doom in DWMC, but later rejected due to the feedback. How much do I hope he can release it.

Don't see why he can't..  we can ask right?  I mean, it could be even pretty awesome, who knows?

The original version of Doomed 2 Die (dmd2die.wad) had a date modified of 1997, before apparently being updated once more in 2000. While I doubt much if anything noticeable is different, I sure would love to have that “exact version” of the wad, as it was the first custom wad I ever laid eyes on back in the late 90s.

If you have a link to either the WAD file with the .txt or something else, I can add it :)

Hey @Andy Johnsen what do you reckon, mate? Fancy giving these kids an early Christmas present?

Would be so nice to have a copy of Lethe. I was talking to Dr Sleep in email when he was first working on it, but I never saved any of those old emails, not that I had a copy of anything he was working on, but some of the stuff he had to say was interesting for sure. I wonder how much he got done on it.

 

I often wonder about the maps that must be out there that people have never released for various reasons.

I am looking for some old wads for Doom2 by Scott McNutt namely Sym, Blitzkreig and Payback and Glory deathmatch by Darrell Esau. They are mentioned in Drednau8.txt. Can anyone please help me to find them @Doomlover77

Knee-Deep in KDiZD by esselfortium. A re(de)make of the original KDiZD. It showed some incredible potential for the vanilla lovers. It seems the project just stopped without notice, as far as I'm aware. The dev thread was pretty active and the maps seemed to be nearly complete from the screenshots .

I imagine that essel would still have the resources for this. I have the resource WAD, the DEH and Z1M1, Z1M4, Z1M7 and Z1M9 all from February 6th, 2008. That said, it's not my decision to release anything.

What happened that the project suddenly stopped ? From an outsider's POV, it looked great and like it was on a steady road!
