Wads like Needs More Detail?

http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?file=levels/doom/megawads/nmdu.zip

I love 'replacement' wads that echo the design of the original levels. Are there any others like NMD for both I & II? Or don't, man. You don't have to listen to me. I'm not your dad.

I like NMDU a lot as well. Here are some megawads that "echo the design of the original levels" in their ways:

Doom The Way id Did (Doom 1)
Doom 2 The Way id Did (Doom 2)
Wonderful Doom (Doom 1)
Switcheroom (Doom 1)

Flashback to Hell by Vordakk has remakes of the first 11 or so maps of Doom II, although the ones after that are a bit more original. There's also TNT: Renascence if you're a TNT: Evilution fan.

Thanks for the recommendations. I actually just played through Flashback to Hell, it's pretty fantastic. Another good one is Remain http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?file=levels/doom2/p-r/remain1.zip

First 11 maps of Doom II reimagined. I like these waaay better than the vanilla maps to be honest. Too bad Deadall never did the rest of them.

I could have sworn that there was a Remain 2 and 3 by the same author (Eternal). TNT Ren is by the same author too and I found all the mentioned ones to be enjoyable.

na na na na na na end1.wad, na na na, na


As a double-plug No End in Sight is a collab between myself n' NaturalTvventy (of end1.wad fame :P ) that's meant to scratch the retro itch. It'd be triple-nice if it was finished... D:

Is that so? I haven't been able to find them. Please let me know if you find them. I checked on idgames but no luck.

Thanks! Definitely checking these out.

A similar thread was started not too long ago that might have some more suggestions:

Nobody in this thread (or the other thread) mentioned Favillesco series. In my opinion, Favillesco E1 specifically is great, the only problem with its maps is that they're often similar to each other. E2 tends to have unintuitive layouts in later maps, but it's a good E2 emulation too. E4 looks and feels sweetly old-school, it's well structured though.

Favillesco - Episode 1: Genuflected on Io
Favillesco - Episode 2: Tragedy over Europa
Favillesco Alpha Episode: Apostasy on Amalthea

Im amazed Plutonia never got a megawad dedicated to rearranging it like Wonderful Doom, given the constant love for it
