Knee-Deep in the Dead

A Fistful of Doom

“The heart, Ramone. Don’t forget the heart. Aim for the heart, or you’ll never stop me.”

Pirate Doom was super sweet, but it made me recall a yearning for something else… A Few PWADs More. A Fistful of Doom is an old partial conversion that swaps out all the zombie sprites for fantastic western variants and some slightly more appropriate weaponry. Cute touches include replacing cell ammo with gold pickups (no pickups for plasma gun / BFG equivalents) and the replacement of “ARMOR” with “LUCK”… which is in short supply. At just two levels, with tons of clever midtexture tricks, I can’t help but wish that they’d made more maps… or a fuller-fledged TC.

And now we’re cooking with gas…

If having the chance to play with the original Doom weapons in UT2004 wasn’t enough for you, well, check this out…

Dragon7350 from the Epic Games forums made a Doomguy player model for Unreal Tournament 2004 based on the endscreen from Episode 4 of The Ultimate Doom

As you can see, this model was pretty well done. Made completely from scratch, this model features two versions, one with the classic helmet, and one hell-metless, and both versions are compatible with CTF2 (that means, both models have blue and red colors, which you can see in the screenshots)

This is a blessing from the sky, considering that the modding scene in UT2004 (and UT in general) is almost dead thanks to the complete disaster that was UT3, and the sole fact that someone is still making stuff for this game is a complete miracle.

So don’t let this chance pass and download the player model from the following link

Oh, and by the way, the first six screenshots were taken while playing an almost exact representation of E1M1 in UT2004, you can grab the map by clicking here (friendly warning, it’s hosted on Gamefront; some of you might have problems downloading stuff from their site because they’re a bunch of pricks who decided to put a restriction on certain countries for no reason, so the only solution is to use a proxy, sorry about that)

Here’s the new download link for the Doomguy UT2K4 model. Credits once again go to Dragon7350 and not me: http://www.mediafire.com/file/33exd55traj6bod

As for the map, here’s a backup that I found, and an alternative link uploaded by me:

Japanese Community Project

Game: Doom II Year: 2016 Port: Boom-compatible Specs: MAP01-MAP32 Gameplay Mods: None Author: Members of the Japanese Doom community idgames | doomwiki | onemandoom

The demons just can’t stay away. This time, though, their incessent meddling via dimension-bending teleportation technology has led to the dissolution of reality, allowing you to travel from the depths of Hell to the edge of space with a single step.

If you’re Japanese, and you love Doom, you’re in good company. The Japanese Community Project is a complete megaWAD of maps from said community, including some faces that may be familiar to the Doom community in general. I’m mainly thinking of Kurashiki, who provided four very cool levels as well as fantastic art for the title and end graphics, but I remember Tatsurd-cacocaco as a prolific speedrunner and one of the most promising authors of 2011 with his work in the Plutonia Revisited Community Project and the 1994 Tune-Up Community Project. JPCP is a very cool and modest mapset with some wild adventures and fantastic visuals. Most refreshingly, all the level-geometry-as-automap-pictures stuff and other cheeky details show that these authors had a lot of fun horsing around in the editor.
