Is that big thing on the left a turtle or am I overimagining things?

I'm always shocked when I see that my high school obsession is still being played. I hope it was an enjoyable experience.

[valkiriforce]

It was actually one of the more enjoyable TNS sessions I've played - I quite enjoyed the randomization and the levels were a lot of fun to run around in.

[NaturalTvventy]

Awesome to hear, Valk.

[Keyboard_Doomer]

The session was indeed great. A shame Doom 1 PWADs seem to usually attract lower number of players.

The WAD is well-designed and very fun despite having this limitation of no Doom 2 monsters. I wouldn't believe it's from 1997.

It's nice to see that you're still around in the Doom community. Unfortunately we had no idea before the session but you're definitely invited to the end2.wad session which should be in a few weeks!

[valkiriforce]

It makes me wish we had an Ultimate Doom megawad with Realm667 monsters and Freedoom's SSG. That would be amazing.
