doomaddict Posted July 4, 2004 What levels do you think are scary? I think 6fiffy4 (under levels/doom2/ports/0-9/6fiffy4) is really scary. The reason it's frightening is because Cyberdemons show up in places where you would not expect them, and you do not have any way you can combat them (no invulnerability, no megasphere, no BFG or plasma rifle, just a rocket launcher, ssg, sg, and chaingun) and those cyberdemons can appear basically anywhere in the level anytime. My phrase for this level:You cannot run and you cannot hide. I recommend trying this level. 0 Share this post Link to post

doomaddict Posted July 4, 2004 Ichor said:Sadhusct.wad The horror... The horror... The horror... LOL. That wad is a TC with mario-like music and textures, non-mario like enemies, not scary, and worst of all , I can't even move. Come on and be honest. Oh and 6fiffy4 is REALLY named Lord of the Cyberdemons and is REALLY SCARY as you go through the level. 0 Share this post Link to post
doomaddict Posted July 4, 2004 Is there a reason why I cannot move then? 0 Share this post Link to post
Ichor Posted July 4, 2004 It's the first entry in the .deh file in the .zip. It sets the players height to somewhere over 3 million. Nothing serious. Just delete it and you should be able to move. 0 Share this post Link to post
doomaddict Posted July 4, 2004 but when i get hit, i move, and i am able to jump. 0 Share this post Link to post
Opulent Posted July 4, 2004 Try maps by: Ed / Wiles / Hoglund / Pagb666 / Dictter / Nokturnus / Mordeth but I think AOTW is probably the winner for the maps I've ever played. 0 Share this post Link to post

It also got a few mentions in a thread called "Most atmospheric SP Wads" (edit: which is more than a year old, and obviously shouldn't be bumped, FFS). 0 Share this post Link to post
Ultraviolet Posted July 4, 2004 Yeah, AOTW will probably make you shit your pants. "Is that what you want? A shitting Jesus?" 0 Share this post Link to post
Dron Posted July 4, 2004 I just played AOTW. At first it didn't scare me a bit. And then later its starting to scare the shit out of me. Awesome wad 0 Share this post Link to post
Lutrov71 Posted July 4, 2004 How the hell do you get out of the first room!? EDIT: Worked it out. Dammit, I was scared even at the beggining of that wad. Walking down those stairs freaked the hell outta me. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bashe Posted July 4, 2004 Sweet mother of Jesus...AOTW is fucking scary, man...so dark...so evil... I always get really tense when I know that there's something out there and it's coming after me...those Baron things...dear lord I'm scared now... To get out of the first room, wake up the zombie. Lure him into the door and he'll open it. You should be good then. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lutrov71 Posted July 4, 2004 Damnit I got squished. Those sreaming sound effects sent chills up my spine. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bashe Posted July 4, 2004 Yeah, instead of listening to the music with the level, I just listen to ambient tracks from N64 and PSX Doom. When I went into that room with the coffin thingies, the Cyberdemon out the window almost gave me a heart attack. 0 Share this post Link to post

Bashe Posted July 4, 2004 Hehe...my diaper change topic lasted 3 minutes...HELLED! Anyway, I'm too scared to even think about completing AOTW. It's just too scary for me. I mean, I thought some things in Action Doom were scary, but this is just frightening. 0 Share this post Link to post

deathbringer Posted July 4, 2004 The final level of Last day on earth scared me once, in a story you're probably all tired of hearing The text file to UAClabs.wad 0 Share this post Link to post
doomaddict Posted July 4, 2004 i am writing a megadoom review for myself on all of the ports wads. At average, each wad takes 20-30 minutes to play. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bashe Posted July 4, 2004 I get that feeling "LEIK OMG HE'S COMING" whenever some monster wakes up behind me and I know it's coming. I'll probably get Doom 3, it looks good. I will probably play it for 3 seconds. The menus might scare me :) 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMBoy Posted July 4, 2004 I don't get why everyone thinks AOTW is supposedly scary - I've played it before with the lights off and that sort of thing, on UV. It was tense, and I DID get startled here and there, but I never actually got scared. Maybe it's just me... 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted July 4, 2004 I agree that "scary" isn't the best word (it's about a scary as a ghost train). I would say the ominous atmosphere is expertly created, with sound effects and layout crafted to make it feel like we are a weak inmate desperately trying to escape from a madhouse. Heh, who am I kidding, I had to sit on the toilet the whole time when playing this. :p Talking of toilets...Ichor said:Sadhusct.wadheh. enjoy. (Crap Pacifist demos of all the maps that didn't just crash. Recorded in Eternity, which doesn't seem to mind the player height issue). 0 Share this post Link to post
killer9 Posted July 4, 2004 Brains is really good, it has that horror movie feel because the damn enemies keep coming back. 0 Share this post Link to post
doomaddict Posted July 4, 2004 I am playing all the wads and writing a short review on every one of them and I will reach AOTW. (I am starting with ports for DOOM II first). 0 Share this post Link to post
deathbringer Posted July 4, 2004 Brains is really good, it has that horror movie feel because the damn enemies keep coming back. Heh, the first brains has awful level design, and the very thick fog in places makes it more annoying than anything, but the end of it is pretty scary, when you get lost and surrounded, and fire wildly ahead of you wasting ammo The second one is way better, though still hasnt quite got the fear factor, combine elements from both of them and it will be frightening 0 Share this post Link to post
