- Description : This is a collection of 27 Doom1 wads which have
- been converted to Doom2 format usind WadCat and
- Wad1to2. They are deathmatch wads specifically
- designed for 2-player DMing. They are, in my
- opinion, the very best doom1 wads, both in terms
- of playability and design. The conversion process
- changed some things that could not be helped, and
- the various doom2 editors out do not seem to let me
- correct the problems with ease, so some levels,
- such as ledgesi, may be a little different than you
- may remember. Nevertheless, these wads are the very
- best out there. When I converted them I changed all
- the shotguns to super-shotguns. Make sure when you
- play them to use the -timer option; otherwise
- you will not be able to exit some levels.

- These wads look excellent as well as play well.
- Manyof the top ranked wads on the DM Wads
- ranking sheet play well but are designed poorly;
- not so with these wads. I have played hundreds of
- different wads, and when these wads were converted
- to Doom2, a very important and beautiful change
- took place on many. You first see it in the 4th
- wad, but you get the full extent of it in Pueblo
- wad. Im sure the author had this in mind when he
- made it.
- Some notes on each wad:
- Madmax: this is a new wad, but an excellent start-
- ing wad. The music is fitting; it is a pleasant
- surprise, seeing as how the sounds and music come
- from blob.wad. You will see what I mean.
- Bigempty:I made some minor changes to this, but it
- still remains an excellent shotguns-only wad.
- Jhldth1: This is my all time favorite wad. Its fun
- to play in, fun to wander around in, and any style
- of fighting can be used.
- Par-002c: I think this was named something else
- originally but Im not sure what. I got it out of
- another wad collection as I could not find it on
- the various sites. The background fits the theme
- well, but not as well as in...
- Pueblo: absolutely beautiful. Well designed,
- originally made for a pro tourney, but never used.
- Unfortunately the oven texture gets pasted onto
- the wall of the BFG secret room in ledgesi for some
- reason during conversion, and other places too,
- but its no big problem.
- House: A classic wad. Nothing but fun. Well
- made, with weapons placed strategically.
- myhouse: A very recent wad, but lots of fun. Goes
- after house perfectly.
- tnplhome: Another home, wad, I made minor changes
- to it to make more weapons. Check out the toilet
- and the stove.
- usqe1m1: This is a college Student Union I think,
- and its a lot of fun to run around in, although not
- quite in the same vein as with myhouse.
- kill: Another college building wad.
- church: I tried to add a missle launcher to this, but
- for some reason the editing program wouldnt let me.
- But I did add deathmatch starts (which it did not
- previously have) and some shotguns and other weapons.
- Remember, God does not like BFGs on Holy Ground.
- Tourney: A wad created for a tournament.
- hitmeinf: a good arena wad, lots of fun.
- ledgesi: The conversion process made minor changes
- to make this wad not as fun (it removed the missle
- launcher for some reason) but it is still the all-
- time classic wad.
- subway11:Like church, this wad was not originally
- for deathmatch play, but the minor changes I made make
- it a lot of fun. You will see why when you meet up with
- a guy in a tunnel.
- area8: This wad looks neat, and is fun to play, although
- the strategy level is not quite to the level its design
- would lead you to believe.
- joi-cm1: Oh Joi! A small castle wad
- blob: This wad is the largest in the collection, but
- you can still find frags pretty easily. Its a good
- hunting wad. This is where the funky sounds come from.
- slapme: Another tournament wad.
- butt: This one has lots of secrets, another classic wad.
- Trideath: a good set of arenas. The dark is fun.
- Peace: another classic. There is a secret here which
- will hand you the match if you find it. Watch the lmp
- for clues.
- markroom: the classic arena wad
- phucked: an interestingly designed wad, annoyingly fun
- to play in.
- ledges4i: ledges's big brother.
- markrm3: transporters can be annoying but also fun.
- October: another small castle wad, well designed.
-
- When you play this wad, I suggest you put in a -timer
- 5 or 3 or 7 limit in it so you can go through all of
- them. Our floor will be using this for a tournament.
- Thanks to all the guys on my floor
- who helped with the selection process; you don't
- know how long it took me to weed through all the wads
- out there and combine them in the proper way.
