General Description : My Boss level replacement for e1m8...22 years later

After exiting the Computer Station you knew the worst was up ahead. You still hadn't
reached the place where the demons were coming from. The steel door shuts
behind you as you realize you're there; you're at the Phobos Anomaly. Cracks from
hell are all over the place as seepage from the portal invades the entire installation.
Now it's time to find the portal and stop the demons from coming through. You know
UAC had hundreds of scientists working at a high-tech lab somewhere in this area, and
the portal must be connected to it somehow. Time to lock and load.

Mashable Story with instructions for gameplay

 

 

 

YES! This IS an actual NEW map by THE John Romero. It's like Mana from God!

So, This was more difficult than I thought it was going to be, especially at first. There are a bunch of badasses (Sargents, Imps, etc...) that transport in as soon as you make your first shot. Be fast or be dead.

Needless to say, I didn't post pictures all the way to the end. No spoilers for you, but here are a bunch through the yellow key grab.

I was so damn excited when I saw the tweet. It was really amazing. I'm so glad he's on my twitter feed.

It's been 21 years since I made a DOOM level.
Here's my version of E1M8 using DOOM1.WAD.

Final notes

On one of my attempts in the opening room, I saw a small HOM. Only caught it once though. Just thought I'd mention it.

Also, kind of bugged me that after I got the yellow key I couldn't jump up through the Window (you'll see)
