ZDaemon Thursday Night Survival #273 - Newdoom Community Project (Part I)

[TeamTNS]

No, not the "New Doom" released in 2016. However, this megawad offers fun gameplay coupled with some good architecure and it sure doesn't just belong to Doom history, even though it was released over a decade ago.

Its sequel, NDCP2, was already played in TNS two times and has proven to be good so let's see if it's true that the original is always better than the sequel!
