If you had to turn DOOM2 into a nine-level episode

I wouldn't mind DOOM II just having an episode menu, period. It worked so well in the first game, I don't know why they really felt the need to break the formula that thoroughly. There are pretty clear points where you could put in the breaks, although, I believe you'd need to add more chainsaws since about the only one I know of is in MAP01 :P

One in MAP10, one in MAP28 and one in MAP30 off the top of my head. =D

m1:entryway
m2:the waste tunnels
m3:dead simple
m4:industrial zone
m5:tenements
m6:catacombs
m7:blood falls
m8:the spirit world
m9(secret):the living end

There's a chainsaw in MAP08 as well.

M1: Entryway
M2: Underhalls
M3: Dead Simple
M4: O of Destruction
M5: Industrial Zone
M6: The Spirit World
M7: The Living End
M8: Icon of Sin
M9: Tricks and Traps

D2M1: Underhalls
D2M2: The Waste Tunnels
D2M3: Refueling Base
D2M4: Downtown
D2M5: The Inmost Dens
D2M6: Gotcha
D2M7: The Spirit World
D2M8: The Living End
D2M9: The Abandoned Mines or Monster Condo

For personal use, I don't see the harm in creating a personalised IWAD. No doubt it's technically illegal, but I doubt Id or Zenimax are perusing the contents of your hard drive.

Not to mention, it's not the full game. Actually, it's nine levels long, the equivalent to the Doom shareware, but the game pretty much finishes.

Here's mine:
1. Entryway
2. Underhalls
3. The Waste Tunnels
4. Circle Of Death
5. Industrial Zone (exit to secret level)
6. Suburbs
7. Tenements
8. Icon Of Sin

Secret: Barrels o' Fun

And just for the hell of it, I did one for Plutonia too:
1. Congo
2. Aztec
3. Baron's Lair
4. Hunted (exit to secret level)
5. Speed
6. The Final Frontier
7. Bunker
8. The Gateway of Hell

Secret: Go 2 It

It's not illegal. It only becomes illegal when you spread it to others.
