TheLazenby Posted March 2, 2014 Back when I was playing Doom 2 on my 386 laptop, I seem to remember some sort of DOS-based launcher that allowed you to choose a level to start from - and uniquely, it divided the game into three distinct episodes. Episode 3 was "Hell", I believe Episode 2 was "The City"... what was the other one? 0 Share this post Link to post
Zed Posted March 2, 2014 I don't know about the launcher, never seen any like that, but according to the Wiki, these are the Doom II "episodes": MAP01 to MAP06 - Subterranean/Starport MAP07 to MAP11 - Hellish outpost MAP12 to MAP20 - City MAP21 to MAP30 - Hell 0 Share this post Link to post
Randy87 Posted March 2, 2014 Nice find! Official names for the episodes in Doom 2 1.666 setup program. 0 Share this post Link to post
Da Werecat Posted March 2, 2014 Curiously, setup bundled with v1.9 doesn't write any tips at the bottom. I knew I saw these titles somewhere so I had to dig up my old dusty (literally) v1.666. Achoo. 0 Share this post Link to post
Reisal Posted March 3, 2014 I wonder what MAP12-20 and 21 to 30 are called. 0 Share this post Link to post
Da Werecat Posted March 3, 2014 "The City" and "Hell", as TheLazenby said. 0 Share this post Link to post
Avoozl Posted March 3, 2014 Strange that it's called "The Space Station" when it would most likely be a star pad because space stations don't reside on Earth. 0 Share this post Link to post
Clonehunter Posted March 3, 2014 THough it could just be a poor way fo saying "The Station that Commutes to Space". Toy Story had a similar wording for the Pizza Planet place ala Buzz ( Or did he call it a space port? I don't remember). 0 Share this post Link to post
TheUltimateDoomer666 Posted March 3, 2014 The Totally Unauthorized Guide To DOOM II by BradyGames uses those episode names (1-11: Space Station, 12-20: The City, 21-30: Hell). I never knew that those were the official episode names from the launcher. 0 Share this post Link to post

I used the setup launcher a lot back in the day when I didn't know the IDCLEV cheat, but I never noticed the "episode" name down there! :O (I had v1.666) 0 Share this post Link to post

reality 2.0 Posted March 7, 2014 joe-ilya said:What are the MAP31-MAP32 are called? Wolfenstein, Nazi,secretory? two levels are way too short to be classified as an episode. I feel doom 2 treats the two secret levels as non-canon because you never see the Nazis again outside of the two secret levels. 0 Share this post Link to post
