Hi all, 

 

I wonder if you can help, I’m trying to track down a wad called Cinema2.wad

 

I remember it coming on a pc gamer U.K. cover cd in the region of 1995-1997.

 

it was based around the theme of a cinema, it had the front cinema foyer and screen area then opened out at the back into a big courtyard which was mostly green From memory and had a central area with a cyberdeamon if I remember. 
 

it also had a really catchy custom music track too. 
 

I’ve tried for the last year on and off to find it google is no help, I did find a few pc gamer disk archive sites but not found it yet though that said their archives are not 100% and downloads reliant on unseeded torrents. 
 

im sure it was a wad they found from the community at the time and included so presumably it existed somewhere beyond their cover cd. 
 

appreciate any help. 

 

Been coveting this myself, a friend eventually found it on a PCMania CD47 iso (available here). Uploaded to /idgames now. Quite the blast from the past :)

Thank you so much

Ok, I've been trying to find this wad through magazine CDs from back in the era for almost an hour. Worst part is that many filenames seem familiar to me because I probably played them, so it's a huge setback.

 

1. I am talking about a single level for Doom 1
2. Really old shit, probably from mid 1994
3. I remember been blown away because the level itself was the biggest single level I had seen so far, with a size around ~350kb

4. Replaced E1M1
5. On top of that, the wad also featured super random monster replacements from the era: Imps were Pacman, Demons were Barney the dinosaur

6. Of course you had to merge those sprites with your iwad with deusf for it to work

7. (my memories about this point could be misleading) I recall kind of a spiral staircase near the beginning

8. (also not sure) Since it had all kinds of lame replacements, MAYBE Doomguy had the sunglasses mod in the hud.

9. You couldn't save game... because Thing limits were hit in that level

Mr. Smiley Head's Safari has Barney demons and Pacman lost souls, but is a 27-map compilation wad. Large levels that open with spiral staircases could be FORGE.WAD or DARKHELL.WAD E2M4, but these have no sprite replacements.

I remember Mr. Smiley, but nope, that's not it. It was a single, massive level. But thank you, I think I can add a couple more clues to the og post!

Does anyone have the maps present in this page (and the two pages after that) by Ventor Tormentor/Mojón Man? Unfortunately, archive.org has not backed up the .zip files themselves seemingly. He was a mapper involved with Arcades3D/Cabro's Doom page back in the day.

Missing:
Basaco.zip - An older zip (bastsaco.zip) is included, with no ZDoom demo.
blasphemy.zip - amimedaban2.wad is included which looks to be the same as blasphemy.wad.
htd.zip

 

Also included is a 5-level deathmatch wad (atormspdm_c.zip) that is from another source.

 

EDIT: Many of the maps are still available on the author's abandoned website.

Thank you, your work is truly outstanding! Hopefully someone can track down the missing wads eventually.

Maybe @VVL can help...

Does anyone have the original Doom version of WadPak 4? The one on the archives seems to be the Doom 2-converted one from Maximum Doom

[Doomlover77]

@Devalaous  here you are. Wadpak4 for Doom can be found here :-
 

https://www.gamers.org/pub/idgames/levels/doom/v-z/wadpak4.zip

 

@Doomlover77  

[Devalaous]

Thanks a lot! I wonder how and when the Maximum Doom version replaced the one on the archives? The other files are normal, but the wad has everything Doom 2-ised. Various Maximum Doom guides all link to the archive version as if its the original, so it was at some point.

 

I made patches for all three remaining WadPaks today, good to know the original fourth one isn't lost to time.

[Doomlover77]

@Devalaous is there any other wad collections you want me to find? @Doomlover77  

[Notsee]

I don't know if this was taken down for legal reasons but if it wasn't the link for this is dead 

Where can I find a reupload since the Jaguar version has higher quality sprites

It did not? Pardon my saying but you seem to be confused :). The file to which Doomlover linked is the one from the archives. It has long been my understanding that gamers.org/pub/idgames is "the archives".

 

[Devalaous]

Strange. I used the archives linked from the Doom Wiki, and the only wadpak 4 was a doom 2 conversion with the original's text files.
