mawcor624 Posted March 11, 2019 Aluqah was a Cacoward winner for his Jokewad, "Mandrill Ass Project, but back in 2007, he made "Hell's Royalty Fantasy Palace." It was probably his greatest work. It's listed on the wiki page here: https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Aluqah. However, there is no download link on his site, on the idgames archive, or anywhere. Does anyone still happen to have it? 0 Share this post Link to post
Kira Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) There was an idgames link in the wiki page: https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/m-o/mandrill You had me seriously scared there. I love Aluqah's stuff and didn't have them on this computer. Edit: I'm royally dumb. This is also pretty bad luck there since indeed the wad was released before they apparently opened their blog. I probably had that one given the date, but I don't have a compatible reader for the suspected old HDD at the moment. Edited March 11, 2019 by Kira 0 Share this post Link to post

Marcaek Posted March 11, 2019 Which of the other wads are missing? If one was found this quickly perhaps the rest will be as well. 0 Share this post Link to post

This bit on Doomwiki would be a start I guess. For the rest I don't know: Quote These files were hosted on the old Geocities site, but removed in 2008, and were not previously archived. Monasterio San Baco (sanbaco.zip) Mutants Factory (mfactory.zip) Last Monster's Refuge (lamore.zip) Déjà-Vü (dejavu.zip) The Cube (thecube.zip) I don't remember playing any of these either. 0 Share this post Link to post
kmxexii Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) Some of the WADs that were removed were remastered and repackaged as https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/m-o/mandinga. Without the originals, though, it's impossible to determine the extent of the modifications. The .TXT includes a list with the original names: New name / Original name 11- Chaos El caos reptante 12- The docks Psychosis series bonus level 13- Dark holes The dark holes of the mind 14- Guard Tower Maten a Aluqah (antes de que siga haciendo mapas) 15- The Cold futur The cold embrace of future 31- Doomed world entrance Banished lands 32- Doomed world exit Banished lands 2: the symetrycal massacre 16- Teleportation central Island of pain 17- Physcho city Psychosis series II: Paranoia 18- Archaeological site El cáliz de la vida 19- Hearth of evil Io 20- It [unreleased] 2 Share this post Link to post

He really is; Dolphin's Dream was my first introduction to a map that added layers onto Doom. 3 hours ago, Marcaek said: There appears to be an edited version of it here http://edthebat.com/doom/ Sweet! 35 minutes ago, kmxexii said: Some of the WADs that were removed were remastered and repackaged as https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/m-o/mandinga.

In any case, I didn't think anyone would even know what I was talking about with a wad from '07, but this community is awesome. I wish I could invite the 3 of you over for a Doom LAN party. 2 Share this post Link to post

I guess it's making plenty of Aluqah backups time. 0 Share this post Link to post
