1994 Tune-up Community Project

About This File

Everybody knows that most maps from 1994 are pretty terrible, but what if we took maps from the archive that permit modification and then redetailed them?

The purpose of this community wad is to improve on maps from 1994. Most maps from that time had strong layouts, but poor design decisions such as misaligned textures, bad texture choices, hidden doors and mandatory secrets to progress. The aim of this project is to fix those problems and take what was already strong about the original maps and improve it.

It's okay, but the later maps really get stuck in this recent HR2 monster-spam rut of later maps. Also, why wasn't Galaxia.wad included in the touching up? I would have liked to see that.

^ to the above reviewer: galaxia.wad wasn't allowed because the map is copyrighted from the original author, unluckily! Also, awesome tune-up guys! 4.8/5 Daimon

pretty good, although doesnt actually run in boom. boom and mbf bomb on exit of map01. runs fine in prboom+ however. kinda disappointing for anyone wanting a truly retro experience but the maps themselves are quite nice. would have been considerably better if it stuck to vanilla limits like the originals. using prboom features to tune up old maps is kinda cheating.

^^ I also got stuck on second map on coop mode when I died in last part of map. Had to use cheats or restart map.

Contrary to the .txt, unsuitable for coop mode -- if you die after passing certain points in the map, doors stay closed or areas impassable, and you cannot continue. Shame.

I have been already playing through half of it and some of the levels are simply awesome! Regardless if this is a remake of 1994 maps or a new project, this is a great fun. And I love some of the beautiful sky textures too. 5/5 - Optimus

I don't give a shit the story behind it; the final result is great and plays well. Some TOP maps, some averages but always fun. And this is a MEGAWAD. Respect. PFL

Should have been a vanilla megawad, for a fair comparison in craft ability between original map and remake. Now any comparison is inherently flawed.

An excellent idea, very well executed. Some maps still have occasional gameplay issues, which really can't be helped without severely overhauling the layouts in a few cases, but otherwise an excellent selection with some surprises - and a neat (vanilla-compatible? ) screenshot of the "original" version of each map on the intermission screen. How far we've gone! -ww

Some of the tune-ups undeniably come across better than others, but with one or two exceptions they all put a very nice new spin on initially awful to at best average maps! Fine community effort here overall, good job. :)

      Not a lot to like here. A handful of OK maps buried in a sea of absolute dreck. The last third of the wad was particularly awful - just skipped through that in unfounded optimism there would be at least one map that was interesting/playable. A last resort mapset when you have nothing else to play.

      This needs a warning label - it has one of the most annoying "enhancements" ever to stain Doom. A countdown timer. I just abandoned the level when I noticed it. Also first hall you enter has a dozen Hell Knights and god knows how many Imps, while you have a single shotgun and a dozen shells. This kind of crap makes me want to punch my screen. So you've been warned.

      I always felt like the vanilla Doom II experience was lacking a certain little something. Stick it in your GZDoom's "skins" directory, you will never regret it. True magnificence is something which chases you around.
