Stealthy Ivan Posted February 19, 2003 Does any one have any ideas on a old school mega-wad thats good (and one that I havent seen already). But not a doom 1 mega wad, I am looking around the doom2 era, and befor the source port rampage started. If any one knows of some new levels for me to play, let me know...! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
ReX Posted February 19, 2003 Browse the megawads folder of 3darchives. You're bound to find something that you haven't played. Btw, if you haven't played Herian and Herian2 by Ian Wilson, I encourage you to do so. They're Heretic & Hexen conversion megawads for DooM. (They're for ZDooM, though.) 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Torn Posted February 19, 2003 heh, I would call Hell revaled a old school wad, but I guess you have tried it?. or else use doomsearch.com]Doom search to find it. :) 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Lizardcommando Posted February 19, 2003 Don't forget these old school megawads: Memento Mori Memento Mori 2 Requiem Those are the only ones I can remember at the moment. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Erik Posted February 19, 2003 dark covenant (darkcvnt.wad) it's in levels/doom2 not exactly a megawad (12 maps) but great fun, and it's oldschool. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

Fletcher` Posted February 19, 2003 Are there any Ultimate Doom megawads before 1998, besides Vengance? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
myk Posted February 20, 2003 I don't remeber any, but there's a bunch of 8 or 9 map episodes. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
DarkWolf Posted February 20, 2003 Fava Beans isn't really a megawad, but it has some good maps. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted February 20, 2003 Here are a few threads that provide relevant comments, recommendations and links. [Note that some of these threads are not so relevant - it is just the result of a forum search.] I'd like to mention a couple of 7-map Doom2 wads I stumbled upon recently: Kill! Zone 1 and Kill! Zone 2. Not megawads, but certainly old-school (though a port is recommended to avoid danger of VPOs for the second one), and lots of fun. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Stealthy Ivan Posted February 20, 2003 hmm... I have played herian, HR, HR2, MM, MM2, eternal, and a whole shit load of others... Thats why I am asking if any one knows of any more? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

Expand Then why not list all the ones you've played, so we can suggest ones you haven't? Or read the threads I mentioned, and you'll probably find something you haven't played. OK, I'll read your mind... you haven't played H2H-Xmas, have you? Go play it now! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Stealthy Ivan Posted February 20, 2003 I have played... MM MM2 HR HR2 Requiem Eternal D.O.T Icarus Herian Herian2 WolfenDoom Doom Extreme Gold Plus a shit load that I cant remember the names of (which means they probably sucked)... 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted February 20, 2003 Here goes... Must-plays: AV, STRAIN Highly recommended: TVR!, Fragport, H2H-Xmas, Hacx Worth checking out: Cleimos, NJdoom2, BF-Thud!, Realms of Chaos, World of Deth, Vilecore, Demonfear Most of these are full 32-map wads; the few that aren't, have at least 21. None of them requires a source-port. There are lots of good shorter episodes, of course. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Little Faith Posted February 20, 2003 Then there's: Invasion and invasio2. And then there is the oldschool wad to end all wads, the cream of the cream, give it up for: Ilusory1.wad!!!1111!! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
The Ultimate DooMer Posted February 21, 2003 If you're after doom2.exe compatible wads you haven't played yet, check out Fragport and TVR. Both were released in 2001 (well after the source port rampage), but were still made for vanilla. And they both rock... 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Stealthy Ivan Posted February 21, 2003 Cool... I have played AV, but this TVR and Invasion sound cool! Thanks for the input people!!! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Aleaver Posted February 25, 2003 No Hope for Life is old school..I know because I made it.. Some VPO errors though..Source Port recommended. URL: http://www.aldp.vze.com (if you are interested) 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Sparky_KISS Posted February 25, 2003 Here's a directory listing of a CD I compiled years ago. It's specifically for Doom and Ultimate Doom. The sorting goes something like: ...coop dm sp...levels level sets...Small (2-3) Medium (4-7) Large (8-36)...Exe Patches Normal Ports Sprite Patches The bulk of it is definately 'old school' and episodes (8/9 maps) rather than the full set (24/27 or 32/36 maps). More than likely there's a pile of stuff here not in the archives that I fixed/updated for my own use (the cdrom archives actually used to have uploading rules to protect wad authors, id Software and others). So here's the edited list (I've just included directory names and wad names, and deleted the gunk). Hopefully someone will find this list useful.

Grazza Posted February 26, 2003 Little Faith said: Let's take a train back to 94!! Expand Ilusory1 appears to be dated 1995. 1994? Well, there's njdoom2 (one of the earliest versions; there are also the earlier Doom1 versions), Trinity.wad, Gather.wad, Return01.wad, Castlotr.wad (all for Doom1). And of course many others. So, no problems with 1994 here. :) Darkhell (early 1995) is rather old-school too. "Never Again" did a nice demopack. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
