Perhaps not the worst wad ever, but it deserves a mention next time the topic comes up.

December 1995. Twenty levels. Map01 is a single-file 90 degree maze that just goes on and on. I gave up in disgust and skipped to Map05, which is the same but with wider larger corridors. Map10 has a buggy lift near the start that can trap you. Map19 is unfinishable because of a buggy wall. Map20 is an epic (cough) battle where you pick up an invincibility sphere, run past some cyberdemons, and flick a switch. Exceedingly incromulent.

Archive Maintainer      : Reason for this update - the original wad
                          illegally contained all the sprites from
                          doom2.wad (copyright id Software).
                          This updated version only includes the 18
                          modified sprites.

Original file size = 5.2 MB
                          Version 2 file size = 1.6 MB

New Installation Instructions:

To play BLAZIN2 with 'Plain Vanilla' Doom II, you'll first need to add
the extra sprite graphics to blazin2.wad using a program such as DeuSF,
WinTex, NWT, etc.  For example:   deusf -as blazin2.wad
Then run the wad with:   doom2.exe -file blazin2.wad

A better option is to use a Doom Source Port which can import pwads
containing sprite graphics - such as: Boom, PrBoom, MBF, SMMU, PrjDoom,
ZDoom, Legacy, Vavoom, Edge, etc.  You don't need to patch the wad,
just use blazin2.wad as-is.  For example:  boom -file blazin2
