What was your first megawad, other than doom 2, Plutonia or TNT

[Johnny Cruelty]

Mine was Going Down, played it for the first time on UV, very hard

what was your first megawad?

[Walter confetti]

Aliens X

[kwc]

All the way through? Alien Vendetta.

First ever? Star Wars Doom.

[sandwedge]

Good question, I don't even remember.  I think it was probably the Way Id Did series

[Thelokk]

Sunlust. Didn't go very well, as you can imagine. 

 

First megawad I properly finished was JPCP, which is still one of my favorites.

For me, it was an early Cyb megawad called Project X.

[Misty]

Memento Mori and Requiem. My memories kinda foggy, but I remember playing them besides iwad stuff. 

[MFG38]

I believe mine was Demonfear.

[ducon]

Maybe Heroes 2.

[noob_killer012345678]

Ultimate doom.

Hey, don't be mad at me! It's 1 wad and it's a whole map set, and it wasn't listed in the "besides" thing!



Jokes aside: My first megawad was a ZDooM multiplayer wad named Invasion UAC (or IU for short), as like every wad I had downloaded before that was like 1 or 2 maps

[Dexiaz]

4000 monsters

[Doomy__Doom]

Technically - a very old freedoom version that came with prboom from some linux distro repo. At that time I didn't really know anything about iwads/pwads, I just installed what described itself as "Doom" and played.

 

First pwad - Plutonia 2. Also the first encounter with visplane crash.

[dyshoria]

mine was hell revealed. Never completed it but i am trying now

[Demion]

Requiem

[Graf Zahl]

If you mean full 32 map megawad, that'd be Requiem.

[NiGHTS108]

Probably Back To Saturn X E1, thanks Unity!

[Biodegradable]

Mine was 25 Years on Earth, which I played with The DWmegaWAD Club back in June 2020, approximately two weeks after joining the forum. This would also be how I'd subsequently befriend @Phobus, the mapper himself. :^)

[Kor]

I played my first megawads 26 years ago.  So I don't remember the first.  But early ones were BF_THUD and Icarus.

[spineapple tea]

The first wads I downloaded weren't megawads (as I'm pretty sure the first one I downloaded was nuts.wad) but the earliest memory of a megawad was probably Cyberdreams, no real reason why. Something about map 09(?)'s space textures and night sky in software rendering is deeply nostalgic to me.

[gudermannian function]

My first non-commercial MegaWAD was Going Down 

[Dynamo]

I believe the first megawad I downloaded on my own was NDCP. I have immense nostalgia for it as a result, but I am almost certain I played Memento Mori 1 some time before, from some disc though, not from the internet. The Invasion for Doom 1 is also among the earliest I played, and the nostalgia is strong there too.

[TheOxingey]

probably sunder, still my favorite megawad

[xX_Lol6_Xx]

Scythe

[antares031]

WolfenDoom - 2nd Encounter by Laz Rojaz

[Jacek Bourne]

Scythe.

[D4NUK1]

Playing on a old XP computer, i remember downloading Action Doom 1, and Sytche or Epic 1 (Don't remember at the moment).

Im also remembering a .WAD with a text screen every level, the first level it's trying to escape a collapsing building, and there was a cacodemon yellow that was really fast. I really don't remember the name, but was one of the first NON-Comercial wads to play.

[Pistoolkip]

Scythe 2

[Doomkid]

First 3 meagwads specifically were Doomed 2 Die (dmd2die.wad), Dwango5.wad, and Memento Mori, in that order. I had a bunch of other 1/2 map wads mixed in there too, though.

[Roebloz]

Since you're excluding only Doom 2, Plutonia and TNT, then it's good ol' DOOM.WAD

[Valboom]

Memento Mori.
