In E1M1 you just had to turn around and in E1M3 pressing that elevator wall in front of you when you start actually ended the map.<br /><br />E1M6 was a very popular map back in the mid 90's I'm pretty sure. Saw it in a LOT of compilation wads when I was younger. Has the reputation, I think, of being the 'first ID-quality level', though I think such labeling is questionable.<br /><br />Finally E2M7 is from TiC's freshman effort 'Slaughter Until Death', also reviewed on here in full.WolfForeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722579221537565281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2781490333212566792.post-43066058860812373532013-05-06T09:52:08.286-05:002013-05-06T09:52:08.286-05:00Eventually should be fine.

I never intend for my comments to look like demands, just suggestions. :)WolfForeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722579221537565281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2781490333212566792.post-61076024891710182072013-05-06T07:42:58.737-05:002013-05-06T07:42:58.737-05:00When I played this, the original Heroes, I was int...When I played this, the original Heroes, I was intending to play the Doom II follow-up. I ended up writing off compilation WADs, though, and really wanted to play through each of these levels in their original incarnations...which I may eventually end up doing. For now, though, I'll go through Dewey's tune-up, eventually. I just don't know when.KMX E XIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05745439363707845462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2781490333212566792.post-64504910260757633382013-05-05T20:43:20.725-05:002013-05-05T20:43:20.725-05:00(WolfForever a nickname, my usual online name is K...(WolfForever a nickname, my usual online name is Kak Home)<br /><br />Anyways I love your reviews, and this wad is no exception! I just played Hedrox 2 today and what you said about it matched what I thought pretty well. Anyways, there is another Heroes mapset, for Doom II, heroes2.wad, a similar compilation of generally higher quality old maps. I'd be interested in a review of it as well; would you mind giving it a go?WolfForeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722579221537565281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2781490333212566792.post-26426785841964217672013-03-20T15:10:13.918-05:002013-03-20T15:10:13.918-05:00Sweet, thanks!

I know the author had a handful of other levels released under the title "anonymous" but never knew that a) he adopted an actual alias, and b) he published a Doom episode based on his works.

It is like an early community chest, only the author's works were unwittingly pooled together =P. The old maps, graphics, midis, and sound effects come together to form a a real time capsule of a wad.<br /><br />I have the origin for E2M1 by the way (despite not being in heroes text file). It is E2M2 of darkhell.wad by greytale:<br /><br />http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=3481Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
