Of Doom Reviews and DoomCAD

Friday · 30 May 03 · 02:42 PM IST | Posted by Karthik | Category: Doom

It's been a really long time, but I've now finally added some new WAD reviews to the site!

Well, it all started when Chris Hansen released his latest Helpyourselfish.  I promised him some comments on the map, and was going to write about it on a usual update here.  Then I decided that I might as well make it into a review, so I did.  And since adding just one review wouldn't be good, I wrote some more.  So you now have the following levels reviewed:

  • Chris's Helpyourselfish of course,
  • my brother Varun's Short 'n Quick,
  • it's sequel, Short 'n Quick 2,
  • and Darren "Doom_Dude" Finch's recently released Underhalls Remake.
  • As all the above levels were for Doom II, I also wanted to add a Doom I review, and that is of Sarge Baldy's Waste Treatment Center #911.

Keen observers (those who... gasp... read the accompanying text files of Doom WADs) might notice that all the above levels were built with DoomCAD.  This fact is admittedly not of much use to anyone, but I mention it because DoomCAD 6.1 happens to be the editor that I use to build all my levels.

I also made a quick modification to the page that lists the reviews: it will now show you the five most recently added reviews, for your convenience.

On the subject of reviews, I also want to write something for a person called Kak Home.  He has recently sent me detailed reviews of a couple of my levels (and also written several shorter reviews at the Doom Wad Station), but I'm not able to reply to his mails for some strange reason!  Anyway I just wanted to say thanks to him and also in response to what he asked me, that he can always send me reviews and comments of my stuff!

Dark Fate 2 is a singleplayer level for Doom II, replacing MAP01.  It's a small-sized hellish level — and there's a walkthrough video as well.
