Hey, guys, got a little piece of history for you.

In 1996, Otakon released a Doom wad as sort of a playable promotion for their event--play as Priss from Bubblegum Crisis and fight off possessed nerds. Strikes me as kind of counterintuitive to be killing off your attendants, but whatever.
It's got a whole bunch of custom graphics, though since it's 1996 the quality is obviously kind of scrappy. The map is mostly a recreation of the Otakon layout at the time, though with like half the texturing and some creative interpretation of concepts like "scale" and "proportion".

The original wad is actually kind of broken, since it was made in only a few weeks. The Dehacked was a mess and there were numerous lumps in the wrong place, reading sounds as sprites and vice-versa, which is fine for ye olde vanillae Doome but causes modern source ports to shit themselves.
This is an edited version that fixes up the Dehacked and puts all the lumps in the right places, so it should run fine with everything.

Enjoy, lads.
