Description : HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DOOM!
Yes, today marks the day, 17 years ago, when the
shareware version of DOOM was first uploaded by id
Software to the University of Wisconsin's FTP server!
This map is a little something that I threw together
back in 1998, and even still today cannot be uploaded
to the idGames Internet archives (due to it being
simply a "copy and paste" job of some of the original
id Software DOOM and DOOM 2 maps).
The map is a "copy and paste" of the first map of
DOOM 2 (MAP01: "Entryway"), the first map of Ultimate
DOOM (D_E1M1: "Hangar"), and the first secret map of
DOOM 2 (MAP31: "Wolfenstein")... which of course, is
identical to the first map of Wolfenstein 3D.
Note that the DOOM 2 version of the "Wolfenstein" map
has been edited: The secret area, and the exit to the
second secret map (MAP32) has been removed
(Wolfenstein 3D didn't have those anyway).
Other than the parts removed (mentioned above), the
maps have been logically and carefully spliced
together in verbatim... play the map for a short
time, and you will easily figure out where (and where
not) to go to get to the next section.

* What's Included *
New Levels : 1
Sounds : None
Music : DOOM 2's "D_EVIL" (which is the ending song played
during DOOM 2's "BOSSBACK" endgame screen) has been
replaced with Wolfenstein 3D's "WONDERIN" "Wondering
About My Loved Ones".
DOOM 2's "D_DM2INT (which is played during the
in-between map status screens) has been replaced with
DOOM's "D_VICTOR" "Victory".
DOOM 2's "D_OPENIN" (which is the in-game music for
Map 30) has been replaced with a medley of: DOOM 2's
"D_RUNNIN" "Running From Evil", DOOM's "D_E1M1" "At
Doom's Gate", and Wolfenstein 3D's "GETTHEM" - "Get
Them Before They Get You".
Also, Reverb and Chorus (MIDI controllers 91 and 93)
have been added to the music... something that Bobby
Prince ommited in the original DOOM and DOOM 2 music!
Graphics : DOOM 2's "RSKY3" sky texture has been replaced with
DOOM's Episode 1: "Knee Deep in the Dead" "SKY1".
Cool trivia tidbit: The original picture that id
Software used for the "SKY1" texture of the original
DOOM is a photograph of "Yangshuo Cavern" in China
(photographed by Tom Atwood back in 1992)!
DOOM 2's "BOSSBACK" endgame screen has been replaced
with a photograph of all of the id Software guys!
