Doomworld Speedmapping Compilation #9

for the ninth installment of dwspd, the theme was to "try and rebuild E1M1 without looking at the original". wow, THAT is a low map turnout, at a measly two. guess it was a lot more difficult than some would have bothered with. but let's see what we got. the first is rather accurate as far as actual layout, though texturing and monster placement is assuredly different. but this one has problems, namely one of the secrets is one-time only as well as an exit switch that doesn't work. it's odd for me to say the real winner was actually the second of the two, despite it looking less accurate, it was much more fun, a Go 2 It mini-version of Hangar with a few hordes of monsters done proto-slaughter style.

MAP01 is the most accurate one, however it has some flaws, the most notable one, the exit switch. MAP02 compensates accuracy with slaughterfest. kinda unfair, but amusing no less

Two attempts to recreate E1M1 without peeking at the original. MAP01 is pretty close, but you only get one shot at entering the tunnel secret, and the exit switch doesn't work. MAP02 is so different it's hilarious, but at least it provides a fun, if brief, slaughterfest. A similar experiment, without the speedmapping requirement, would be undertaken almost eight years later (id=15757). -The Green Herring (July 15, 2009)

Good job on the first level. The second level is fun for about 3 minutes. 4/3/07
