Title : PIMP.WAD
Author : All the various WAD authors
Jeremy Sammons
Email Address : bobspik@osuunx.ucc.okstate.edu
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.
They are, in order:
madmax
bigempty
jhldth1
par-002c
pueblo
house
myhouse
tnplhome
usqe1m1
kill
church
tourney
hitmeinf

slapme
butt
trideath
peace
markroom
phucked
ledges4i

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originally made for a pro tourney, but never used.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
