Not only do you make awesome maps for dtwid, but you find long, lost forgotten doom maps! I guess they don't call you DoomHero for nothing. ;) 0 Share this post Link to post

General Rainbow Bacon Posted August 21, 2011 Here's a really good 3 level wad which is geared towards coop. http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=4956 0 Share this post Link to post
General Rainbow Bacon Posted September 6, 2011 Here's a map that feels deceptively easy at the beginning. Had a lot of fun in this one. http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=13979 0 Share this post Link to post

General Rainbow Bacon Posted September 7, 2011 This one is great except for hiding the YK in a secret. http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=2507 and it's sequel is even better. http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=2508 0 Share this post Link to post

Xeros612 Posted September 9, 2011 It wouldn't be a bad idea to write up a bit more text, maybe toss in a picture or two, and make a blog out of this. 0 Share this post Link to post

It's definitely the best map Norman ever made, at least aesthetically, and uses the ghost bug. 0 Share this post Link to post
Grimm Posted September 9, 2011 uhhh didn't you ever hear of classicdooming.com? write up some mini-reviews and send them us! 0 Share this post Link to post
deathbringer Posted September 9, 2011 Some guy who was on here ages ago had a geocities site where he was planning to go through the whole archives, play everything, and review it. He'd actually done quite a lot too, somewhere around 200 maps (as opposed to the "gave up after 10" you'd expect from such a project). Unfortunately I can't remember the guy's username let alone anything else. And Geocities has been deleted now anyway. EDIT: Ah yes, it was called Grimm's Mini Reviews. It would help if I had read the whole thread before posting. Anyway there's a wad called either city2 or town2 in Maximum Doom that's pretty good for it's age. 0 Share this post Link to post
General Rainbow Bacon Posted September 9, 2011 Hey Grimm. Didn't even know about your site. I'll definitely post some reviews there. E: How do I submit reviews on your site though? E2: Also, how is your site any different from what is already on the archive in terms of reviews? There are reviews of most of the wads in the archive already. I'm spending time looking at ones that are either mostly not reviewed, or wads from '94 through '96 that have been forgotten. 0 Share this post Link to post
kmxexii Posted September 9, 2011 Grimm said:uhhh didn't you ever hear of classicdooming.com? write up some mini-reviews and send them us! Oh, hey, I just now kind of figured out your site navigation. I originally assumed there were jack all for reviews but I was just impatient and didn't let the A - B - C buttons pop up. Definitely adding this to my "Second Opinions" page. Info for review submissions can be found here. 0 Share this post Link to post
General Rainbow Bacon Posted September 13, 2011 From now on, i'll be putting an actual review of the maps in each post instead of just a short comment, as well as several ratings out of 10 at the end. The ratings will be: gameplay, architecture, and difficulty. Anyway, here's the first wad review. http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=2402 This one will have you biting your knuckles. This map is very challenging, and does not give you the ammo you might want to deal with the monsters. I was expecting some crappy room to room fighting, when in fact there are some very interesting fights in this map. The architecture is bleh, but the gameplay is awesome! Give this one a go if you want a real challenge. Gameplay: 10 Architecture: 4 (It's '95, whaddya expect?) Difficulty: 7 0 Share this post Link to post
General Rainbow Bacon Posted September 14, 2011 http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=1275 This one is a great map that for some reason is in /deathmatch but should be in /single player. Definitely one of the hardest early wads I've played because of the cramped space given to deal with the monsters. There are windy stairways and lots of detail (for '95) in this one. Gameplay: 10 Architecture: 10 Difficulty: 9 AND............. http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=8709 This one which is dated wrong, but I played it anyway. Another castle map. This one is much more open and less challenging, but very fun. Decently long too, with some interesting areas including a teleport section in an underground cave that I really liked. Gameplay: 8 Architecture: 8 Difficulty: 6 0 Share this post Link to post

General Rainbow Bacon Posted September 17, 2011 Didn't play through all of these yet so the official review will have to wait, but maps 6 - 11 in this pack are very good for SP. http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=2384 0 Share this post Link to post
Du Mhan Yhu Posted September 17, 2011 Maps 6-11 were the only good maps. The first 5 felt like DM maps. Once map06 rolled around things got more interesting. More enemies. Maps 1-5 only had less than 10 ememies per map and I think map01 didn't have any enemies at all. 0 Share this post Link to post

General Rainbow Bacon Posted December 11, 2011 It's been a while. You know those "house" maps that people usually made back in the day, and how boring they were? This one isn't which is why it caught my attention. Enjoy! http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=3220 0 Share this post Link to post
