Marine training doom wad, lost media levels


Recommended Posts

Grungo knows we all know about that one weird doom wad from 1996 the military actually used to train soldiers

 

it was marine.wad it had custom sprites of enemies sounds and dehacked stuff such as automatic shotgun and molotovs.

however it seems there was more than ONE map and maybe even more weapons.

 

when Grungo watch cnn news interview on youtube, grungo notice gameplay in backround, it had MORE levels!

Exhibit A

 

as Mr.Jarhead is yappin' away to the lettermen, we notice that a tv is going off in the background , it showcases a stone structure and stairs with custom rail textures.

Exhibit B

 

we see a new map (or possible the same map at maybe a different room) where there are actual trees outside and marines are pinned down in a wooden room

Exhibit C

 

then in the same room, we see this weapon that wasn't featured in the wad, it looks to be belt fed and me can't make out what is is

but grungo bets his sea dollars it might be a SAW belt fed machine gun.

Exhibit D

 

we see on near the end of the interview there that this marine is punchin his teammate and we get a better but not great look of the distance where we see more trees grey rock at the end and what looks to be a ditch

all and all, grungo is suprised that not many talk about this lost level, but me wonder if someone has the wad? doubt it but it'd be nice

 

what is your thoughts?

It seems to me that they polished some of the things. The one we got must've been some early build

If I am not wrong, these screenshots seem to match those in the video,

The MacDoom version of Marine1.wad includes a second level.

 

In addition there is an expanded version created by Cyberwarrior in 1996, Cyberwar.wad.

It includes 6 levels, although only 4 are playable while the other two maps are just two empty rooms.
The wad, played with the fun_2.deh patch, includes "walking" dynamite boxes, zombieman ghosts. New sprites for some weapons are also included

Cyber1.zip

 

EDIT: 

carefully reading the text file of the MaccDoom version, Cyberwarrior is the author of the second level. So it seems to be a Mac exclusive.

Cyberwar.wad therefore could be a further evolution made by the same author.

I know this is purely speculation, but it's possible that these extra maps were likely also to be features in the scrapped GT Interactive retail version of Marine Doom. Once GT Interactive's retail version of Marine Doom was scrapped, that proposed retail version morphed into the TNT Team games NAM and WWII GI.
