The Maverick013 Posted July 6, 2019 I'm talking about Perdition's Gate, Hell to Pay and The Lost Episodes of Doom. I like collecting retro games and playing vanilla-style maps so I wanted to obtain these, however after searching in the idgames archive I couldn't find them. So I'm guessing the answer will be "no". Do you guys know something about them? 1 Share this post Link to post
Jaws In Space Posted July 6, 2019 Perdition's Gate is available from Tom Mustain's website. He came by Doomworld a few years ago & here's what he had to say: "Regarding downloading - the rights reverted to the creators years ago. Who do I need to talk to at DoomWorld to make that clear so people don't get banned for linking a 20 year old Doom add-on?" Considering Perdition's Gate was released alongside Hell to Pay it's very likely that Hell to Pay can be freely distributed as well. I don't know the status of the Lost Episodes of Doom though. 7 Share this post Link to post
Erick Posted July 6, 2019 The full version of Hell to Pay is still up on Andy's website as an ISO file, though you can also download a slightly smaller ZIP file if you don't want the extra stuff that only runs on DOS as far as I'm aware. It's been up for a long while so I suppose freely distributing Hell to Pay isn't too much of an issue. Download on front page: http://www.visionsofdoom.us/ 5 Share this post Link to post
Arrowhead Posted July 6, 2019 If I recall correctly, a version of Perdition's Gate can be obtained from the Doomed Speed Demoes Archive. You might want to take a look at that! I also just remembered that 'Laura Beyer's Doom', (one of the lesser known commerical WADs) is on the page that Erick linked above. It's a terrible episode replacement with a bad reputation, but you might find that interesting as well! :) 1 Share this post Link to post

theDia Posted July 6, 2019 Talking of Perdition's Gate. I always liked Alex Mayberry's older set of the same name a lot more than Mustaines commercial version. :)https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/p-r/pdgate 2 Share this post Link to post
The Maverick013 Posted July 6, 2019 Ah, this is great! Thanks for all the links. And what the hell is THAT Laura Beyer's Doom? I'll download it because it seems to be pretty rare but man, it looks terrible. 0 Share this post Link to post

I'll download it because it seems to be pretty rare but man, it looks terrible. It's a shitty total conversion of Knee deep in the dead with new textures and sprites. You can get it from here: https://archive.org/details/lbdoom (Thanks to Owlman for the link) It's garbage, not good garbage like nuts.wad. This sucks and you are wasting your time if you want to play this. 0 Share this post Link to post
The Maverick013 Posted July 8, 2019 Yes, I just saw some videos and it's far from being good, but I'll download it collecting purposes and for those times I want to atone my sins by punishing myself into oblivion. 0 Share this post Link to post
Xeriphas1994 Posted July 12, 2019 There is a project to add Perdition's Gate and Hell 2 Pay to /idgames: see here and here. @Jon, this would be amazing if you could complete it, but I do recognize your TODO spans the observable universe already. :> 4 Share this post Link to post
Jon Posted July 12, 2019 Yeah I haven't chased Tom Mustaine but he never replied when I asked him about it. The repack job was simple so someone else could try without much effort. 2 Share this post Link to post
Pegleg Posted July 12, 2019 I'm not sure if the Lost Episodes of Doom was ever made freely available. You can download it from abandonware sites, but I can't speak to the legality of that. You can also download Doom from some abandonware sites--and Doom clearly isn't abandonware. The Doom Wiki page for The Lost Episodes of Doom includes links that will get you most of the maps. Most of the maps in that megawad were already released at some point by Chris Klie and Bob Carter, so they've packaged all but 2 or 3 of the maps from the commercial release. 3 Share this post Link to post

The Maverick013 Posted July 12, 2019 I just checked and it looks like all but one map from The Lost Episodes of Doom were made available and can be found in the archive as separate wad files. I wonder what's the deal with that one map. On a different note, Perdition's Gate music is great! 2 Share this post Link to post

I wonder what's the deal with that one map. Which map is it? Jovian Déjà Vu Again by Bob Carter (E3M8)? If it's that one, I'm pretty sure that the reason is because Bob Carter and Jonathan Mendoza brainstormed the idea for that map specifically as the finale for The Lost Episodes and it's actually almost entirely one of Chris Klie's maps, just with minor re-texturing and a few other twists. 0 Share this post Link to post
The Maverick013 Posted July 12, 2019 Actually, it seems to be E3M7. The first twelve maps are here, the next nine are here, E3M6 is here, and E3M8 is a rework of E1M1 with a new starting room and a Spider Mastermind boss fight. 0 Share this post Link to post

The Maverick013 Posted July 14, 2019 Hell To Pay is cheesy as hell and I love it. I just murdered a Cyberdemon that was piloting a spaceship...somehow. 0 Share this post Link to post
cybdmn Posted July 14, 2019 The maps in h2p are quite okay, but the sprite replacements are really, really bad. 0 Share this post Link to post
