THE LOST CITY
A DOOM II World
by W. Davis Thornton
Today I began perhaps one of the most difficult treks known to man.
My journey entails a voyage thru the impenetrable South American jungle
known as Tabul' Rosh Tala (the jungle of death). I am in search of the
legendary lost city of Atarsis, resting place of the Orb of Life......
I feel the old blood lust creep up from my belly back to my consciousness
as I finger my old faithful double barrel. This jungle makes me feel like
the demons are back and hunting me. I sleep with an eye open and my
finger on the trigger.

Note: My apologies to Rob Fowler. It came to my attention at upload time
that a wad called lostcity.wad already existed. However due to the
fact that I had already built custom title screens, install.bats etc...
I have left the name unchanged. However, note that the official name
of this release is THE Lost City, not lostcity.wad.

By costadevale · PostedIt's pretty good for 1994. If you don't mind having no health items at all (except in a few maps) and the outrageous amounts of cyberdemons per map, you should give it a try. It's pretty challenging and I like it. E2M3 is a bit 'eh...' though.
By entropy122 · PostedWhat the actual f*ck is this map. I love having 4 rockets, a shit ton of bullets and like 10 shotgun shells to take out a revenant, and whatever was in that cage. Doesn't look too bad, maybe this negativity is cus im no expert, also rather unskilled at the game?
By Walter confetti · PostedNot that bad, even kind of interesting find the secrets in the map! But yeah, that switches jungle is a awful choice really.
