The Downloads Never Stop!

Friday · 15 Oct 04 · 01:21 AM IST | Posted by Karthik | Category: General

I am extremely pleased with my stint in the Systems Lab today. You see, I had no classes today, but I still went to the Systems Lab by 10:30 AM, because I intended to work on my MIP Phase II Report. I ended up spending practically all day there, and as is usual, I had to be dragged away at 11:50 PM so that I could be back in the hostel by midnight (closing time). But I walked away happy.

Besides downloading about 50 comics (more downloads are going on as I write this), I also got FULL versions (abandonware) of three of the best games I've ever played, from the Home of the Underdogs. So what were these games? Firstly, there's that amazing sidescroller, Jazz Jackrabbit 2 [11 MB], the patched version of Blood with the Cryptic Passage Add-On [26 MB], and the patched version of Blood II: The Chosen [111 MB]!!

Last year, Arun Ravindran was probably the guy who downloaded the most data in TAPMI (I guess he also used to practically live in the Systems Lab). This time, I've taken over, and I'm even using the same computer he used to work on. Today's haul will be written on CD tomorrow. I'd call this a pretty successful day.

Dark Fate 2 — a Doom II map by Karthik Abhiram

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.
