ORIGWAD - The original Doom WAD

In 1994, Jeff Bird created the first custom WAD (data file) for Doom. Without the convenience of today's level editors, he had to write out every piece of data for the map by hand with a hexadecimal editor.

Of course, this one-level WAD is an important part of Doom history. It was the first of many modifications to the game that has kept it going strong for more than 15 years.

The level consists of two square rooms, with a door in between. One of its flaws, demonstrated here, is that there is not nearly enough ammo to finish off the monsters, if one chose to kill them all. Without wasting any ammo, one would still have to punch an angry Baron over 50 times.

The level can be downloaded here: http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/inde...
(You may have to change the file extension from .pwd to .wad)

Recorded with DOSBox.

And yes, that switch in the other room is the exit.

When did they release the doom source code?

[DuckReconMajor]

from doomwiki.org "The Doom source code was released December 23, 1997"

Also the uploader of this video is such a tool, he obviously thumbs downs certain comments himself then thumbs up his own comments. It's pretty clear.

[DuckReconMajor]

Didn't realize I was doing that, but if you say so I will try to stop.

Have my thumbs up.
