Footpain is scarier. Don't step on legos, kids.

Sounds to me like you've never had to have a root canal...

[Xaser]

Trust me, a foot canal is way worse. Transhumanism has its drawbacks.

I'm searching for a megawad where (I think this was on the map07 slot) you start in a boat with two floors and outside there are other boats surrounding you with mancubi (and I think arachnotrons too) perched on them.

Hey there, i'm looking for the map Sanctuary  !
I contacted his author who no longer has the map, maybe someone has it !
 

Thanks for your attention.

Hey, I'm looking for a specific WAD that tries a sadistic approach to difficulty. All I can really remember from it is that it had a custom enemy that was essentially a headless revenant that moved fast and only attacked with melee. I also remember Decino playing the first map, but I don't believe he continued the wad after that.

There was this really atmospheric WAD I played maybe a year or so ago that was this one huge level that took place at dusk and was like this sprawling forest. It was really dark and I remember there was a part with a small cave and some other landmarks strewn about the winding paths through the dense trees. It might've been Halloween themed? And no, it's not Ghoul's forest.

[Grazza]

Sounds like Grove. Or is that too obvious?

Turns out, it was this alternate version of Grove, thanks!

Does anyone remember WAD with "Enigma - Sadeness" music? It was MIDI instrumental and I think WAD itself was from the 90s
I played it a while ago and I totally forgot how it was named(
I also don't remember well how obscure it was, it could be famous WAD or it could be a very rare find...

@Vanilla+Unicorn I have the answer. it was Dwango6. It was map 17, Stadiums m4 and yes the music was Enigma - Sadness pt 1. You can download the wad here :-

The wad was released in November 1995 and it’s a popular wad. @Doomlover77

Big thanks, bud! It's that MIDI, though I think I heard it somewhere else...

I dont have a screenshot and im sorry to say my description will be hopelessly vague.

 

I've been trying to track down a surreal puzzle map. It was named literal nonsense. Literally something like jpi23z, like, gibberish letters. the visual style was super clashing and bizarre, very very colorful. It started off in a big chamber w/ just a shit ton of imps on all sides and the player has to sort of fight their way out, and explore something kind of like a city. I think there was a section with a big crusher? and at some point there might be a cyberdemon???

 

again im sorry this is so vague but this was recommended to me once and i was fascinated by it but despite years of searching ive never been able to track down where/who recommended it to me or what it was

 

update: it definitely wasn't lilith.pk3

im still looking for this one pls someone has to recognize this description

 

edit: to add on a bit to this description, im sure that the "city" i reference was actually a big expanse w/ hurtfloors and some big platforms the player can walk (or probably teleport?) between. and im pretty sure one of these platforms was like a grey, narrow skinny path just jutting out from the hurt floor?

This one I think was gzdoom and I think there was a hub at the start where you could pick different themed episodes.  That may not sound very specific but I remember one of the themes being industrial/factory.  Wasn't la-worlds.

I think the second one is MAP05: I Know A Ghost, (Finely Crafted Fetish Film)

Is there a newer version of Bittersweet by lil white mouse? I know where the unfinished one is. Just asking. Thank you in advance!

Found it - the alfonzone!  Very different maps compared to what has been done in doom, you all should try them.

hey everyone, i've been trying to find a specific city map that i completely forgot the name of which i played once as a kid.

it was an old zdoom map, with a big city that you could explore freely without any monsters or anything.

if i remember correctly it started with you arriving at a subway station, and there was an arcade building with playable games on there like a doom recreation of street fighter 2 and one of the old zelda games.

everything else is really a blur to me, but i know i found it through an old youtube video which i haven't been able to find again.

some help with finding this would really be appreciated cause i'd like to play it again :)

I think this might have been called Doomcenter?

[Insaneprophet]

So Im looking for a wad that I swear I remember trying and wanting to come back to. All I can say is that I thought it was a mod with new lvls and weapons and may or may not have used jumping. I remember it starting on like a beach type area with hit scanners all over the place and then possibly working your way over into some caves and thats about as far as I got. There may have even been pop up instructions to help you unddrstand how to use the new mechanics. I swear I thought it was a very popular mod and that I even saw some playthrough videos that turned me on to it. My brain has always told me that it was Paradise by Tango but I have just been playing through that and it is not it. Any help would be.... helpful. Thanks

I don't remember nuts having the centre and lighting like that?  I thought it was the Kabba at first (If you look real hard)
