Does anybody want to discuss CyberDreams?

Recommended Posts

Its about doing something different and creative with Doom 2.

Every map is a puzzle where you have to kill Cyberdemons.

Its a bit dated visually, but is still one of the best megawads of 1998.

 

But maybe its not for everyone as it needs lateral thinking and an eye for puzzles.

It was pretty and a fan concept for the most part. Some later stages gave me a real pain and I hate them (noob detected).

The ending map felt like a pretty satisfying ending for me, watching all those cyberdemons die! Don't boot it in zdoom, though, cause it doesn't have a sound limit and it might... startle you. I sure was laughing, though.

Also, there is a twist that really got me...

Spoiler

Cyberdemons are not the only monster type in this wad, as there is also a singular archvile!

I played Cyberdreams when it came out, and I'm pretty sure it was the first dedicated puzzle megawad I ever played. I don't think I got much further than the first few levels, but I remember it being extremely atmospheric for what it was. The final levels being those big void areas with floating mid-textures really stayed with me.

 

Yeah, it's from 1998, but it's a stone cold classic.

Doom confessional: I've always sucked MAJOR ass at this wad and never got far in it. Cheating and looking at all the maps was highly enjoyable though.

I came to level 26 on ITYTD.

 

After finishing it, I will play on UV next.

 

 

Edit:

 

Beating level 26 was so damn hard.  Oh my god. Touching those buttons with rockets. It was a hell lot harder than previous levels.

 

UV might be a wrong idea. 

 

Level 26 drove me crazy. Dying again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.  But I finished that damn level at last.

Talking about me behind my back eh? lol

 

Nah JK.

 

I LOVE the name of this WAD (obviously) but i'm not very good at puzzles even though i do like a lot of older mapsets. It was a pain in the ass playing it and just as Doomkid did i cheated for some of these maps, although i really do appreciate the concept of them as a whole. It's definitely one of a kind.

How exactly does one defeat the cyberdemon in the first map? There's no kind of crusher or anything to kill it.

Telefragging by luring it at certain spots.

At least map 7 has multiple enemies, beyond the cyberdemon.

You teleport to middle so just randomly keep teleporting and move away once you are teleported. You will catch him in the middle place if you keep doing it again and again.
