90's wads thread

[SLOTH MARINE (CB)]

You can put any wad from 1994 to 1999 here, just tell what it is called and give small description, and the wad in zip or rar file, obviously.

THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE ARCHITECTURAL (DOOM I)

 

This WAD from 1999 definitely vibes with me very well and is most assuredly groovy. Fun MIDIs and architectural.

A little 1996 7 maps wad.
Awesome puzzley maps with a great challenge, a really funny story, and good mapping.

Only bad is that is too short.

Herian2 from 1999 is a 32 level megawad that smashes Heretic Textures, custom enemies and Doom weaponry into a fun filled adventure of fantasy proportions. Super cool wad.

I played Fava Beans (April 1995) for the first time this year and was pretty shocked at how well it holds up. It's really freaking cool. Excellent E1 replacement with a lot of non-linearity, huge optional secrets/keys and progression sometimes, nice verticality which seemed really impressive for its time, etc.

It was interesting replaying No Rest for the Living again later this summer too and honestly, the first half of it felt like Fava Beans 2.0 in a way. Similar design ideas with a lot of the secrets/optional keys, etc.

Run Buddy, a classic 90s map where all the architecture seems three times bigger than usual. Very imposing. https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/p-r/runbuddy
