The Doom WAD Reviews v0.12 -------------------- by Colin Phipps These are a set of reviews for single play of all the new levels for Doom 1 on ftp.cdrom.com beginning with the numbers 0-9 or with the letters A-B. I am aiming to review all the levels on ftp.cdrom.com. I have released those that I have done so far mainly so people can comment, and perhaps reveal any problems with the reviews. The reviews are all in HTML. I am no expert, but most of the stuff should work with any browser. I know it works with Internet Explorer 3.0. The reviews come are in two ZIP files, which should hopefully be somewhere near this TXT file. These are: D1REV0B.ZIP - The reviews themselves. This is all you need to see the reviews. Approx 131Kb. D1REV0BG.ZIP - Some screenshots of some of the better levels. If you download these, they appear beside the reviews, to give a real feel to some of the levels. You don't need these. Approx 615Kb. You have to download a copy of D1REV0B.ZIP to get the reviews themselves. Here are some good reasons to download these reviews: - Complete download and read off-line. Useful for people who don't want to spend ages on-line to slow Web pages to find reviews. - Over 140 WADs reviewed already. Almost all of the Doom 1 WADs 0-b on ftp.cdrom.com reviewed. Also a number of more recent WADs. - Almost all of the information from the Doom WAD Authoring Template is included for every level. - Every WAD played and reviewed by one person -me! - Checking with editors for problems with levels. - A table of the all the WADs reviewed and the ratings they got for easy searching. - Indication of WADs that run slowly for people with slow computers. - Download file sizes for those on slow connections. - Feel free to include these reviews with your own compilations of reviews, or use them on a Web site, provided you let me know and credit me. - Sorry to disappoint the overwhelming demand (all one of you!) for the dates to be included. They will be in the next release. I would appreciate feedback. My e-mail is crp22@cam.ac.uk. To use these reviews: - Create a directory to contain the reviews. - Unzip the ZIP files into this directory. - Fire up your Web browser, and look at main.htm. Happy Dooming! Colin Phipps
