Land of the Dead: RTFG (PC) Monroeville Mall 1978

So we have the Crossroads Mall campaign for L4D coming soon. But that's not the first virtual reconstruction of (a) Dawn of the Dead mall. For the poor reception that Land of the Dead: Road To Fiddler's Green got, its community sure do love making maps for it. This, however, is one of my favourites- A faithful reproduction of the original Monroeville Mall from the Original Dawn of the Dead. This video showcases the main locations in the map, accompanied by the Library music from their film counterparts. I have also put up a commentary track (via annotations) with some tidbits of information about each section of the mall, or the music featured. However, for first time viewing, or if you're already a DOTD boffin, watch without the track.

The map can be downloaded from either:
www.undeadgames.com
On their forums, or from
http://files.filefront.com/INDOTDMallV2exe/;4809257;/fileinfo.html
You may be missing a few files, so
http://www.zombiebytes.com/
should have the files you need. It may take a few extra downloads, but the end result is well worth it. Also, in the credits, I meant to type undeadgames.com, not undeadgames.net. Apologies.

And of course, owning a copy of LOTD:RTFG is necessary.

So watch, enjoy, and here's hoping that when Darth_Brush finishes the Crossroads Mall, he remakes the original, the fantastic, Monroeville Mall.

And for more extensive info on the Monroeville Mall as it was when DOTD was filmed, visit

And just to avoid any confusion:

I DID NOT CREATE THIS MAP. I merely created a video tour of it, if you will.

can u still download is if you don't have L4D?

[CFodderESG]

@MinecraftRecreate You'll need the game "Land Of The Dead: Road To Fiddler's Green". It's still available to buy, or you can "acquire" it via less scrupulous measures.

You don't need L4D to play what you see in the video.

@CFodderESG ok i'm gonna try and get Land of the Dead. Are all the stores in the game right? is every single store there and in the right spot how it was in 1977-78?

[CFodderESG]

@MinecraftRecreate Unfortunately, not all of them. However, it's still a very faithful recreation. You can enter Penney's and The Gun Store (which occupies where "The Cheese Board" would've been) in terms of stores. You also have the helipad and the Hideout accessible.

As a side-note, I've noticed that some of the links aren't working any more. I'll see what I can do on my end in terms of finding replacements, but I can't guarantee anything. Sorry!

Is this even the real monroeville mall?

[CFodderESG]

@liam68s "Real" in so far as it's a virtual map based on the actual mall, yes. Well, as it was in the 1970's. Things have changed over the decades. See the "Director's Annotations" for a bit more info on the mall itself.

the filefront site sez the file is unavailable. any alternate links?

[scorpioeddie84]

Wow, this is awesome. Very realistic to the original mall... love it!

[patricknedz]

they should bring back the clock and fountain, I like the way this mall used to look

[Oveneise]

Oh! I remember playing this map - a lot of fun, lots of places to go and explore.

I was there 2 weeks ago. bought a grinder to roll some fat ones haha

[Jshaw71]

I remember when this map first came out for this there was a store on the second floor dedicated to the site with random zombie movie posters... *sigh* good times, good times

[DCGamingVideos]

@CFodderESG yeah, after you download the dawn of the dead map, how do you play it?

[MinecraftRecreate]

@CFodderESG how do you play the map after you download it and the game?
