Raziel Posted August 5, 2004 What are some underrated pwads that you think are very good but for some reason not many people know about? Just wondering. 0 Share this post Link to post

The Ultimate DooMer Posted August 5, 2004 These are all the non-mainstream megawads I have: Cleimos 2 (classic-style wad from 1995) Herian (DooM/Heretic/Hexen mash-up that somehow works) Herian 2 (More of the same, but better) Revolution! (small but innovative) Dal02 (DM maps with SP gameplay) Rebirth (small but nice. Great with -fast) Garrulismo (classic-style Spanish wad with SS everywhere) Vile Flesh (big maps that are really good) 0 Share this post Link to post
Graf Zahl Posted August 5, 2004 So does that mean that everything except Alien Vendetta or Hell Revealed is not 'mainstream'? 0 Share this post Link to post
The Ultimate DooMer Posted August 5, 2004 Nope. The wads I listed are ones that aren't well-known and/or no-one talks about, so therefore they're not mainstream. (the wads that appear multiple times in every 'favourite megawad' thread are the mainstream ones, and there's plenty of those) 0 Share this post Link to post
Nmn Posted August 5, 2004 No one really talks about this..: here and it's one of the best wads, ever. 0 Share this post Link to post

It's certainly a good WAD but nothing that has any chance of ending on anyone's favorite list. But that doesn't mean it's not mainstream. 0 Share this post Link to post
Use Posted August 6, 2004 Ooh I liked Scientist alot. And no one mentioned Nilla DOOM! Shameless plug ahead... http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=12669 7 maps of wickedness by yours truly. Okay I'll go away now. 0 Share this post Link to post
Draconio Posted August 6, 2004 Real World - For Doom 2, set of good, mostly small maps. Kill Allah series: 1 2 3 4 5 - Doom 2, mostly castles. The Unholy Temple - Doom 2, mostly marble, kind of easy but I remember it fondly. The Beginning of the End - Doom 1, 2 episodes, oldschool levels. The Apocalypse series: 1 2 3 4 5 - Doom 1, military/industrial. Those are the ones that come to mind that I could remember the names of, I'm sure I've seen others... 0 Share this post Link to post
Darkhaven Posted August 6, 2004 Even if Requiem is in the top 100 wads of all time list, it's still underrated big time. Requiem was practically on that list before they even thought of the list. 0 Share this post Link to post
wildweasel Posted August 6, 2004 Temple of the Ancients - but it doesn't seem to be at the IDGames archives, and I can't remember the link to Rex's page. 0 Share this post Link to post
SYS Posted August 6, 2004 There's 3 maps that I made, but they actually did really suck. :D 0 Share this post Link to post
Raziel Posted August 6, 2004 ok. also, i don't care if they require source ports. and i'll accept single maps too. but those are considered wads too right? also. any good underrated/not well known mods? 0 Share this post Link to post

Requiem was practically on that list before they even thought of the list. Requiem is definatly not underrated. Lots of people place it in their fave megawads. It used to be th best for a long time. My personal opinion is that it has excellent maps but also its share of crappy maps... 0 Share this post Link to post

niatsnie Posted August 7, 2004 http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=11616 My own Anarchy WAD. It's 3 levels, 2 are actually connected, in 2nd you go back into 1st one. Cave enviroment with a lot of traps, underground base, and a big outdoor arena. Check it out! It's a good set of levels, some sound tweeks and custom music. 0 Share this post Link to post
