/vr/ - Retro Games

Well, I completed 300mins on my very first attempt at pistol starting through a wad on UV.
Very nice work guys, the difficulty and quality was all over the place but I had a lot of fun running through it, and have a new found appreciation for pistol starting maps.
Favourite maps:
>Moonlit Harbor
I'm a sucker for stuff like the exploding hallway, plus the map was just all out fun from the start
>Blue Sanctuary
Lovely music and map design, would play again
>Crash Site
Tells a story of sorts and I love the momentary teleport into Hell section
>Toomb
Atmospheric as fuck, I still can't believe this was made in five hours. The Arch-Vile trap was nasty, but the rocket launcher helps.
>the first half of The Punch Dimension
The part where you get a gun is where the map fall apart, in my opinion. Otherwise running through bezerk punching everything is so much fun.
Honourable mention to Pergatori for both being fun and for the map being shaped like a succubus. That's really cool. Curse of the Donuts was also impressive with the water lowering effect. I didn't even know vanilla Doom could do that.
>least favourite maps:
>Conception
Far too much health and ammo considering the low ranked enemies and small number of them. Also too dark
>Choose Your Path
Just because you can't 100% it currently, I hear there's a fix coming though
>Perfect Hatemail
It's just too damn hard and I ended up save scumming something fierce, I didn't have to do that in any other map. Loved that secret where you telefrag all those irritating Revenants one by one though, very satisfying stuff.

Anyway, I enjoyed this. Maybe next time I'll try and make something.
