"Altmodisch?"

Old school (not literally, but that's what it means in this context).

[Schneelocke]

... get and play Pacman Doom, MAP01-Style and level E1M3 ("No Quarter") of Doomed Once More.

Disclaimer: that's just my opinion, of course...

What about replacement wads for a complete Ultimate Doom episode?

We call those Episodes :p

*g* OK, point taken. Still... if someone referred to one of those as a megawad, would it be justified to correct them or not? :)

School start in a few weeks...

You silly, when I said ALL I meant the best I've done when playing through the whole wad. I didn't get all those sweet times all in one playthrough.

I think an Ultimate Doom PWAD is considered a megawad if it replaces three episodes. It might only require two, but I'll say three to be on the safe side.

[Epyo]

9 maps times 2 episodes equals 18 maps, which is more than 15. So yeah I think 2 episodes would be a megawad.

Hey Archie, I played your level it was sweet especially the gameplay. But I think you got a bit lazy in some places, especially with the lighting :)

Next, I'm gonna play that one Tim Williams wad with 3d bridges, cause I love 3d bridges lolz.

Hah, yeah I did. I know on E1M4 I just sort of stopped caring. And on E1M5 I don't think I did any at all ^_^

Did you find the secret level?

[jute]

so is the level 'oxbow' named after the band? that would be pretty spiffy.

Oh are there multiple levels? Oops I gotta go play more then.

Side note: Why are there so few levels in Pac-man Doom?

Answer: Heh, funny story really. I told Black Void I'd do another wad with him and we'd join up on September 1st. Then I forgot all about it. Then after 2 levels of Pacman, I remembered it, and finished up the wad to send it in. I still haven't started on that wad hahahhaa.

Side note 2: I hope everybody had as much fun playing Pacman as I had making it. Really, it was fun to make.

It was very orignal, I just wish there were more levels, like 7-10. :)

[LorD BaZTArD]

Just played pacman doom. It rocks. Good work Epyo :D, This definately needs more levels....and a better surprise if you beat par time :P

[Epyo]

You didn't like my 1337 photoshopping skillzors?

[LorD BaZTArD]

Oh I did, but as interesting a catchprase as "You fail it" is, You succeed it doesn't quite have the same effect :P

DooMBoy - Whatever happened to that cathedral map of yours? I thought it would have been reviewed by now.

Well Ichor my friend, that level has been lost due to a hard drive format as of yesterday. I did, however, send you the zip as I recall, so maybe you could do some uploading for me.

[Ichor]

Assuming I still have it (and I probably do), I'll just send it back to you before it's loaded. I don't know whether this was the final version or if you wanted to make some last minute adjustments (bug fixes, minor item placement tweaks, etc.).

Pac-Man Doom by Epyo

This is a really neat little mod. There are three maps shaped like Pac-Man mazes, and your task is to collect all the pellets. When you hit a power pellet, you gain God mode and access to all the Doom weapons for a certain amount of time, to allow you to take out the ghosts. This is a very original twist on a classic game, and it's a lot of fun to play through. The play tips at the bottom of the text file are recommended reading before playing. How do you pronounce Epyo anyways?

if people liked this, I suggest they check out bomberman doom mod by gokuma. It may be for legacy I dunno, but it was for legacy 4-5 years ago or something like that, so you may not have heard of it. I tracked it down to http://geocities.com/shingokuma/doom/bomb92.txt , .zip .

Five points for anyone that remembers polution or smallfun2, too.

[NiGHTMARE]

There also a Minesweeper style bonus level included with Eternal Doom.

Hee, Cybersweeper.

[Epyo]

There is this one wad in the archives where look down at a game board of snake. The snake is a bunch of that one blue metal circle floor and the apples are red metal circle floors.

[Bloodshedder]

I played that. I forgot what it was called.
