Selection Criteria Numerous pwad files for DOOM and DOOM2 were screened by DeadLock and Malaclypse. The criteria used for acceptance of a particular package were as follows: Creativity Originality Animation quality Sound quality Playability Ease of installation Completeness In other words, we played all of the pwads and picked the ones we felt were worth the download time and bandwidth. Of the nineteen downloaded, three made the final cut for this page. Files that were deleted out-of-hand had things in their credits/instructions like: Great! Now that you have my pwad, go to ftp://some.url.com and get SomeDoomTool v1.x (2.x doesn't work on what I wrote!) and then (lots of gibberish instructions). Or: Run my incomprensible .bat file to install these new images! Oh, you'll need (some tool), and (some other tool), plus (some other pwad) to get everything to install. In a nutshell, if the end-user (you) couldn't just download, unzip, and install everything without much difficulty (even after we'd tried to make it easier) and have it be worthwhile, the candidate went to /dev/null.

How We Tested Things All files were downloaded, installed, and played to the best of our ability. Things were rated as we played, and those that scored the best were including here for you to download. Versions of DOOM used in testing: v1.1, v1.2, DOOM2 (v1.666), Ultimate DOOM (v1.9). Those pwads that were compatible with the widest number of versions we had available to test scored well in the over-all analysis.

Future Offerings We'd like to find a well-designed and implemented DOOM pwad that replaces something other than the Barons of Hell because, let's face it, they're nowhere near populous enough in the game! If we can't find something relatively soon, someone on the JihadWeb[tm] Team will probably dust off their DOOM-hacking tools and make one for us. Also, DOOM is kind of old but still fun to play. We've been talking with some Quake designers and Quake-C programmers who are working on building a custom B'harn-monster! With any luck, we'll see it soon, though there's no telling when they'll figure it out and get around to finishing it.
