INTRODUCTION =============== o This document provides information on various releases of "The Master Levels for Doom II" and "Final Doom", and compares the game-console versions to the original PC editions, and to each other. o Note that the PC and Xbox "Master Levels" titles are bundled with additional content (games, Episodes or mapsets) which is not evaluated in detail here. o Apple Macintosh ("Mac") and other computer-based editions of various PC Doom titles exist, however they are identical in most aspects to the PC versions, and so are generally not addressed in this document. Other editions of The Master Levels and/or Final Doom which are not addressed here may be included in future updates. o In the descriptions included in this document, "Pros" are notable features of the indicated title, some of which may set it above other versions covered here; "Cons" are what might cause the indicated title to be rated below the other versions covered here; "Miscellaneous" notes cover those features which do not necessarily fall under the other categories. o This document is 79 characters wide, and is best viewed in a monospaced font. The master HTML version is located here: http://classicdoom.com/fdoomcmp.htm The master text version is located here: http://classicdoom.com/fdoomcmp.txt o This document is essentially a companion piece to an earlier "DoomComp" file, which compares various editions of "Doom", "Ultimate Doom" and "Doom II: Hell on Earth". Access the DoomComp file at: http://classicdoom.com/doomcomp.htm 1. MASTER LEVELS/FINAL DOOM: GENERAL ==================================== o All "Master Levels" and "Final Doom" games or mapsets are generally referred to as "Doom II games" or "Doom II-based games" in this document. o The PC Master Levels mapset, the Xbox Master Levels game, and the PC and PlayStation Final Doom games referred to in this document all feature these enemies, weapons and power-ups: Monsters |Weapons |Ammo |Items and Artifacts -----------------|---------------|---------------------|--------------------- Arachnotron |BFG 9000 |Box of bullets |Backpack Baron of Hell |Chaingun |Box of rockets |Berserk Pack Cacodemon |Chain saw |Box of shotgun shells|Blur Artifact Cyberdemon |Fist |Clip (of bullets) |Combat/Mega Armor Demon |Pistol |Energy Cell |Computer Area Map Heavy Weapon Dude|Plasma rifle |Energy Cell Pack |Health Potion bonus Hell Knight |Rocket launcher|Rocket |Keycard Imp |Shotgun |Shotgun shells (4/8) |Medikit Lost Soul |Super shotgun | |Megasphere Mancubus | | |Security Armor Pain Elemental | | |Skull Key Revenant | | |Soul Sphere Shotgun Guy | | |Spiritual Armor bonus Spectre-demon | | |Stimpack Zombieman | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: Not all monsters, items, etc., appear in all games at all difficulty levels. Also, some items found on a given map during a single-player game may be absent from the same map during a multiplayer game, and vice versa. o All Master Levels/Final Doom games referred to in this document also include (in alphabetical order): An Automap (which may be scrolled and/or zoomed in/ out), barrels (explosive), cheat codes, Cooperative game mode, corrosive floor areas (slime, etc.), crushing ceilings, Deathmatch game mode, elevators/lifts, monster fights (monsters fighting monsters), music (during the game and between map levels), secret rooms, "tally screens" between map levels, teleporters, and variable lighting. o In all Doom/Doom II games, a player character may walk, turn, run, "jump" (run across small gaps), and side-step/strafe, both in first-person mode and while the Automap is displayed. o All Doom/Doom II games can experience speed fluctuations during game play. In general, overall game speed will drop/rise with an increase/decrease in sprites and textures displayed on the screen. o Almost all non-computer Doom/Doom II games exclude some of the maps that existed in the original PC versions, and/or include maps not found in the PC versions. Because of this, the exact playing order of map levels may differ from that of the comparable PC title. 2. PC DOOM II-BASED GAMES: GENERAL ================================== o The PC software package "Final Doom" includes a pair of Doom II-based games. In this document the 21-map "Master Levels" collection for the PC may also be referred to or evaluated as a Doom II or Doom II-based game. o Various models and classes of IBM-PC 486 computers, and PC-compatible 486 and Pentium computers were used as test systems for the various PC games/mapsets described in this document (version 1.9 of the PC Doom II/Final Doom games were tested). For testing multiplayer games, these systems were connected to similar systems via various network and/or modem connections. o Pros: In general, more features and options, and greater versatility than the Xbox and PlayStation ("PSX") console games. 2 players may play together via modem connection; up to 4 may play via network connection. On a modern PC gameplay is somewhat faster/smoother than in PSX Final Doom. Ability to use and configure a variety of input devices (keyboard, mouse, joystick, etc.). Supports 9 screen sizes, which also allows the first-person view to be expanded to fill the entire screen. More monster types available than in the Xbox/PSX games. Deathmatch games may include monsters. A game in progress may be saved at any point and restored later to the same point, and saved games retain copious information (player location, health, weapon, ammo and armor status, live/dead status of all monsters on the map level, etc.). Thousands of third-party map levels are available for use with these games. Built-in ability to record and play back single-player and multiplayer games. Extensive documentation and reference material is/was included with the original commercial PC releases. Separate programs exist which allow players to create or edit map levels, artwork and sounds for the PC games. A variety of free third-party engines have been released which can provide improved graphics, better multiplayer support, and other new features. Large variety of cheat codes. o Cons: Some infrequently-encountered flaws exist in the original commercial PC Doom/Doom II engines, including a program bug that creates nearly-intangible monsters, and a bug that can allow a player character to become trapped partially inside solid objects when reloading saved games. Must have 2 separate PC titles ("Final Doom" and "The Master Levels for Doom II") to play all of the same map levels found in the Sony PlayStation Final Doom game. No split-screen multiplayer option as in the Xbox Doom II Master Levels game. A player can only cycle between fist and chain saw while a Berserk power-up is in effect. o Miscellaneous: Games by id Software. Various formats, typically CD-ROM. Decent graphics resolution and quality; Very good in some hardware/software configurations. On occasion, when a Pain Elemental monster dies, the Lost Souls generated by its explosion may be flung through nearby walls, where they may become trapped (this has little effect on the game, since Lost Souls do not count towards a Kills score). 3. PC MASTER LEVELS FOR DOOM II =============================== o "The Master Levels for Doom II" for the PC/Mac is a CD-ROM which contains thousands of maps arranged into two separate collections: The "Master Levels" collection (21 Doom II maps), and the "Maximum Doom" collection (433 Doom maps/files, plus 3,060 Doom II maps/files). Also included are the complete retail editions of The Ultimate Doom, Doom II: Hell on Earth, and Heretic. However, the game files on the CD-ROM are encrypted, and may only be used with a passcode provided by id Software once the CD-ROM has been registered. The map files on the Master Levels CD-ROM are not encrypted, and so may be used freely with all compatible releases of Doom, Ultimate Doom or Doom II. o In this document the 21-map "Master Levels" collection for the PC may be referred to or evaluated as a Doom II or Doom II-based game. o Pros: Wide variety of map levels on the CD-ROM, some chosen by id Software (creators of Doom and Doom II) for their quality. Software package includes a free DOS-based menu-driven loader utility that allows players to configure and run Doom/Doom II games, and/or view descriptions of the 21 Master Levels maps. See also section 2: PC Doom II-Based Games: General. o Cons: The Master Levels CD-ROM does not include its own unlocked game engine, so can initially only be used as an accessory to other Doom/Doom II games. Most maps in the "Master Levels" collection have the same map number, which prevents them from being loaded together during a game (any map imported into a game always replaces any existing map with the same number). Some maps in the "Maximum Doom" collection are of poor quality or are non-functional. See also section 2: PC Doom II-Based Games: General. o Miscellaneous: CD format; 1 CD. The software package contains a total of 3,514 maps/files. Map WADs were designed by a wide variety of independent contributors. These map files may be used with most Doom II releases, including PC Doom II (Doom 2: Hell on Earth, version 1.9), and PC Final Doom (which contains Doom 2: TNT - Evilution, and Doom 2: Plutonia Experiment). See also section 2: PC Doom II-Based Games: General. o PC Doom II Master Levels and Xbox Master Levels map comparison: PC MASTER LEVELS MAPS | XBOX MASTER LEVELS -------------------------------------------------|-------------------------- MAP : WAD FILE NAME (MAP TITLE) | MAP : MAP NAME ----:--------------------------------------------|-----:-------------------- ..1.:.ATTACK.WAD ("Attack")......................|...1.:.ATTACK............. ..1.:.CANYON.WAD ("Canyon")......................|...4.:.CANYON............. ..1.:.CATWALK.WAD ("The Catwalk")................|...5.:.THE CATWALK........ ..1.:.COMBINE.WAD ("The Combine")................|...6.:.THE COMBINE........ ..1.:.FISTULA.WAD ("The Fistula")................|...7.:.THE FISTULA........ ..1.:.GARRISON.WAD ("The Garrison")..............|...8.:.THE GARRISON....... ..1.:.MANOR.WAD ("Titan Manor")..................|..10.:.TITAN MANOR........ ..1.:.PARADOX.WAD ("Paradox")....................|.....:.................... ..1.:.SUBSPACE.WAD ("Subspace")..................|..12.:.SUBSPACE........... ..1.:.SUBTERRA.WAD ("Subterra")..................|..13.:.SUBTERRA........... ..1.:.TTRAP.WAD ("Trapped On Titan").............|..16.:.TRAPPED ON TITAN... ..3.:.VIRGIL.WAD ("Virgil's Lead")...............|..18.:.VIRGIL'S LEAD...... ..5.:.MINOS.WAD ("Minos' Judgement").............|.....:.................... ..7.:.BLOODSEA.WAD ("Bloodsea Keep").............|...3.:.BLOODSEA KEEP...... ..7.:.MEPHISTO.WAD ("Mephisto's Maosoleum")......|.....:.................... ..7.:.NESSUS.WAD ("Nessus")......................|..11.:.NESSUS............. ..8.:.GERYON.WAD ("Geryon")......................|...9.:.GERYON............. ..9.:.VESPERAS.WAD ("Vesperas")..................|..17.:.VESPERAS........... .25.:.BLACKTWR.WAD ("Black Tower")...............|...2.:.BLACK TOWER........ .31.:.TEETH.WAD ("The Express Elevator To Hell").|..14.:.EXPRESS ELEVATOR I. .32.:.TEETH.WAD ("Bad Dream")....................|..15.:.EXPRESS ELEVATOR II ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: TEETH.WAD contains 2 map levels; all other PC Master Levels WAD files contain 1 map each. Note that when a map is imported into a PC Doom II game, the new map will retain the name of the default map normally used in the game. For example, the map contained in ATTACK.WAD will still be referred to as "ENTRYWAY" when imported into PC Doom II (Doom 2: Hell on Earth). The Xbox map names in this table are the actual names for the Xbox Master Levels maps. (The names displayed on the tally screens are incorrect, as are almost all names and numbers displayed on the Automap screen.) o PC Doom II Master Levels and PSX Final Doom "MASTER LEVELS" map comparison: | PSX FINAL DOOM | "MASTER LEVELS" PC MASTER LEVELS MAPS | MAPS -------------------------------------------------|---------------- MAP : WAD FILE NAME (MAP TITLE) | MAP : MAP NAME ----:--------------------------------------------|-----:---------- ..1.:.ATTACK.WAD ("Attack")......................|..1..:.ATTACK... ..1.:.CANYON.WAD ("Canyon")......................|..3..:.CANYON... ..1.:.CATWALK.WAD ("The Catwalk")................|..5..:.CATWALK.. ..1.:.COMBINE.WAD ("The Combine")................|..4..:.COMBINE.. ..1.:.FISTULA.WAD ("The Fistula")................|..6..:.FISTULA.. ..1.:.GARRISON.WAD ("The Garrison")..............|.....:.......... ..1.:.MANOR.WAD ("Titan Manor")..................|.....:.......... ..1.:.PARADOX.WAD ("Paradox")....................|.10..:.PARADOX.. ..1.:.SUBSPACE.WAD ("Subspace")..................|.11..:.SUBSPACE. ..1.:.SUBTERRA.WAD ("Subterra")..................|.12..:.SUBTERRA. ..1.:.TTRAP.WAD ("Trapped On Titan").............|.....:.......... ..3.:.VIRGIL.WAD ("Virgil's Lead")...............|..2..:.VIRGIL... ..5.:.MINOS.WAD ("Minos' Judgement").............|..8..:.MINOS.... ..7.:.BLOODSEA.WAD ("Bloodsea Keep").............|.....:.......... ..7.:.MEPHISTO.WAD ("Mephisto's Maosoleum")......|.....:.......... ..7.:.NESSUS.WAD ("Nessus")......................|..9..:.NESSUS... ..8.:.GERYON.WAD ("Geryon")......................|..7..:.GERYON... ..9.:.VESPERAS.WAD ("Vesperas")..................|.13..:.VESPERAS. .25.:.BLACKTWR.WAD ("Black Tower")...............|.....:.......... .31.:.TEETH.WAD ("The Express Elevator To Hell").|.....:.......... .32.:.TEETH.WAD ("Bad Dream")....................|.....:.......... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: See the notes with the preceding table. 4. PC FINAL DOOM ================ o Pros: Contains 2 separate Doom II-based games in one software package ("TNT/ Evilution" and "The Plutonia Experiment"), providing twice as many maps as were found in the first PC Doom II game (Doom 2: Hell on Earth), and more than twice as many maps as are found in PSX Final Doom. The PC Final Doom CD includes "Doom 95" software, which allows Doom/Doom II games to be configured and run at high-resolution (versus the original DOS-based games) in a Windows 95-compatible environment. See also section 2: PC Doom II Games: General. o Cons: The initial commercial release of the TNT/Evilution WAD file contains an error in map level 31 ("PHARAOH") which may prevent further progress in the game (the yellow keycard is missing). Play is not continuous between Episodes as it can be in PSX Final Doom (a player cannot exit the last map of one Episode, and seamlessly resume the game on the first map of the other Episode). See also section 2: PC Doom II Games: General. o Miscellaneous: Initially released in CD format; 1 CD. PC Final Doom contains a total of 64 maps: 32 in the "TNT - Evilution" game/Episode, 32 in the "Plutonia Experiment" game/Episode. Both games in PC Final Doom include some new artwork for surfaces, objects, and outdoor backgrounds and skies. The initial commercial release of Final Doom contains an error which can cause a crash during "Attract mode" (after 3 demos are played, Final Doom attempts to run another demo, and fails). See also section 2: PC Doom II Games: General. o PC Final Doom TNT/Evilution and PSX Final Doom "TNT" map comparison: PC FINAL DOOM TNT/EVILUTION | MAPS | PSX FINAL DOOM "TNT" MAPS ----------------------------|--------------------------- MAP : MAP NAME | MAP : MAP NAME ----:-----------------------|-----:--------------------- ..1.:.SYSTEM CONTROL........|.14..:.SYSTEM CONTROL...... ..2.:.HUMAN BBQ.............|.15..:.HUMAN BARBECUE...... ..3.:.POWER CONTROL.........|.....:..................... ..4.:.WORMHOLE..............|.16..:.WORMHOLE............ ..5.:.HANGER................|.....:..................... ..6.:.OPEN SEASON...........|.....:..................... ..7.:.PRISON................|.....:..................... ..8.:.METAL.................|.....:..................... ..9.:.STRONGHOLD............|.....:..................... .10.:.REDEMPTION............|.....:..................... .11.:.STORAGE FACILITY......|.....:..................... .12.:.CRATER................|.17..:.CRATER.............. .13.:.NUKAGE PROCESSING.....|.18..:.NUKAGE PROCESSING... .14.:.STEEL WORKS...........|.....:..................... .15.:.DEAD ZONE.............|.....:..................... .16.:.DEEPEST REACHES.......|.19..:.DEEPEST REACHES..... .17.:.PROCESSING AREA.......|.20..:.PROCESSING AREA..... .18.:.MILL..................|.....:..................... .19.:.SHIPPING/RESPAWNING...|.....:..................... .20.:.CENTRAL PROCESSING....|.....:..................... .21.:.ADMINISTRATION CENTER.|.....:..................... .22.:.HABITAT...............|.....:..................... .23.:.LUNAR MINING PROJECT..|.21..:.LUNAR MINING PROJECT .24.:.QUARRY................|.22..:.QUARRY.............. .25.:.BARON'S DEN...........|.....:..................... .26.:.BALLISTYX.............|.23..:.BALLISTYX........... .27.:.MOUNT PAIN............|.....:..................... .28.:.HECK..................|.24..:.HECK................ .29.:.RIVER STYX............|.....:..................... .30.:.LAST CALL.............|.....:..................... .31.:.PHARAOH...............|.....:..................... .32.:.CARIBBEAN.............|.....:..................... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: The initial commercial release of the TNT/Evilution WAD file (in PC Final Doom) contains an error in map level 31 ("PHARAOH") which may prevent further progress in the game (the yellow keycard is missing). A patch to correct this error is available from Team TNT (access http://www.teamtnt.com and click on "Bugs & Fixes"). There are also cheat codes that will enable a trapped player to exit map 31 (access http://classicdoom.com/doomcode.htm for details). For information on exiting this map without keys, codes or file patches, access http://classicdoom.com/tntdemos.htm#31b and look for the demo TNT31EX.LMP. o PC Final Doom Plutonia and PSX Final Doom "PLUTONIA" map comparison: | PSX FINAL DOOM PC FINAL DOOM PLUTONIA MAPS | "PLUTONIA" MAPS -----------------------------|----------------------- MAP : MAP NAME | MAP : MAP NAME ----:------------------------|-----:----------------- ..1.:.CONGO..................|.25..:.CONGO........... ..2.:.WELL OF SOULS..........|.....:................. ..3.:.AZTEC..................|.26..:.AZTEC........... ..4.:.CAGED..................|.....:................. ..5.:.GHOST TOWN.............|.27..:.GHOST TOWN...... ..6.:.BARON'S LAIR...........|.28..:.BARON'S LAIR.... ..7.:.CAUGHTYARD.............|.....:................. ..8.:.REALM..................|.....:................. ..9.:.ABATTOIRE..............|.....:................. .10.:.ONSLAUGHT..............|.30..:.ONSLAUGHT....... .11.:.HUNTED.................|.....:................. .12.:.SPEED..................|.....:................. .13.:.THE CRYPT..............|.....:................. .14.:.GENESIS................|.....:................. .15.:.THE TWILIGHT...........|.....:................. .16.:.THE OMEN...............|.....:................. .17.:.COMPOUND...............|.....:................. .18.:.NEUROSPHERE............|.....:................. .19.:.NME....................|.....:................. .20.:.THE DEATH DOMAIN.......|.29..:.THE DEATH DOMAIN .21.:.SLAYER.................|.....:................. .22.:.IMPOSSIBLE MISSION.....|.....:................. .23.:.TOMBSTONE..............|.....:................. .24.:.THE FINAL FRONTIER.....|.....:................. .25.:.THE TEMPLE OF DARKNESS.|.....:................. .26.:.BUNKER.................|.....:................. .27.:.ANTI-CHRIST............|.....:................. .28.:.THE SEWERS.............|.....:................. .29.:.ODYSSEY OF NOISES......|.....:................. .30.:.THE GATEWAY OF HELL....|.....:................. .31.:.CYBERDEN...............|.....:................. .32.:.GO 2 IT................|.....:................. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: In PSX Final Doom, map 28 is referred to as "BARON S LAIR" in the tally screens, and "BARON'S LAIR" in the Automap. 5. MICROSOFT XBOX MASTER LEVELS =============================== o Xbox Master Levels ("Doom II Master Levels") is a Doom II-based game included with the Xbox game "Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil". Also included are Xbox versions of the PC classic Doom games "Ultimate Doom: Thy Flesh Consumed" and "Doom II: Hell on Earth". For more information on those Xbox games, access: http://classicdoom.com/doomcomp.htm o A Microsoft Xbox, model F23-00097, equipped with one standard Xbox controller (model K04-00001), was used as the test system for the Xbox Doom II Master Levels game described in this document. For testing split-screen multiplayer games, additional controllers (K04-00001, K86-00001, third-party) were added to the system. o Pros: The "Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil" Xbox game includes more overall Doom content than is found in PlayStation ("PSX") Final Doom, or any individual PC title covered here. Xbox Master Levels maps are very nearly identical to the equivalent PC maps, and so include all of the original monsters, and almost all of the original art, textures, music, etc. In general, these Xbox maps have fewer changes or omissions than the PSX Master Levels maps. Supports split-screen Deathmatch and Cooperative gameplay for 2 to 4 players. Very fast gameplay and screen-refresh rate in both single-player and split-screen multiplayer games. Unlike the PSX game, single-player games in progress may be saved at any point and restored later to the same point, saved games retain copious information (player location, health, weapon, ammo and armor status, live/dead status of all monsters on the map level, etc.), and this game supports 9 screen sizes, which also allows the first-person view to be expanded to fill the entire screen. Games played at "Nightmare" skill include re-spawning monsters (a feature rarely found in console Doom games). o Cons: Some infrequently-encountered flaws exist in the original commercial PC Doom/Doom II games which were ported unchecked into this release, including a program bug that creates nearly-intangible monsters, and a bug that can allow a player character to become trapped partially inside solid objects when reloading saved games. In addition to the flaws ported from the PC games, the Xbox Doom games may sometimes freeze or crash where the original PC games would not. Cheat functions can be accidentally implemented during play (some common gameplay actions have button-use patterns that match certain cheat codes). No controller customizing allowed. No built-in ability to adjust sound effects volume or music volume. No ability to independently scroll the Automap (the Automap display is always in "Follow mode"). Most map names and numbers are incorrect on the tally screens and Automap screens. No ability to choose a skill level for multiplayer games; Deathmatch and Co-Op games can only be played at skill 3 ("Hurt Me Plenty"). Items do not re-spawn in Deathmatch games. Deathmatch games are player-only (monsters cannot be included). Weapons are cyclic-access only (although weapon choices can be cycled in both directions). Cannot import external map levels. No option to record and play back games/demos. Some enemy types are not in "fast" mode in games played at "Nightmare" skill. No "Gamma Correction" feature. o Miscellaneous: Port by Nerve Software and Vicarious Visions. Xbox DVD format; 1 DVD. Graphics resolution and quality are virtually identical to the original PC games. In "split screen" mode, the individual player screens retain the aspect ratio of a full-sized screen; As such, the first-person views do not expand to fill all available space on the display device for 2- or 3-player games. Standard "Doom II" sky/background textures are used for each map (versus a variety of starry backgrounds in the PC/PSX games). Music tracks play at a slightly different rate than the equivalent tracks in the original PC games. When cycling through weapons, the double-barrelled "Super Shotgun" weapon slot is located between the chain saw and fist (in the PC/PSX games, both shotguns are between the pistol and chaingun). Player can select the fist weapon at any time, whether or not a chain saw or Berserk Pack has been acquired. Some sound effects are "pitch shifted" at random, which adds some variety to game sounds (this is a feature found in the earliest PC Doom releases, but later abandoned). Cheat codes are allowed in games played at "Nightmare" skill. o Comparison of Xbox Master Levels and equivalent PC Master Levels maps: XBOX MASTER LEVELS MAPS | PC MASTER LEVELS MAPS --------------------------|------------------------------------------------- MAP : MAP NAME | MAP : WAD FILE NAME (MAP TITLE) ----:---------------------|-----:------------------------------------------- ..1.:.ATTACK..............|..1..:.ATTACK.WAD ("Attack")..................... ..2.:.BLACK TOWER.........|.25..:.BLACKTWR.WAD ("Black Tower").............. ..3.:.BLOODSEA KEEP.......|..7..:.BLOODSEA.WAD ("Bloodsea Keep")............ ..4.:.CANYON..............|..1..:.CANYON.WAD ("Canyon")..................... ..5.:.THE CATWALK.........|..1..:.CATWALK.WAD ("The Catwalk")............... ..6.:.THE COMBINE.........|..1..:.COMBINE.WAD ("The Combine")............... ..7.:.THE FISTULA.........|..1..:.FISTULA.WAD ("The Fistula")............... ..8.:.THE GARRISON........|..1..:.GARRISON.WAD ("The Garrison")............. ..9.:.GERYON..............|..8..:.GERYON.WAD ("Geryon")..................... .10.:.TITAN MANOR.........|..1..:.MANOR.WAD ("Titan Manor")................. .11.:.NESSUS..............|..7..:.NESSUS.WAD ("Nessus")..................... .12.:.SUBSPACE............|..1..:.SUBSPACE.WAD ("Subspace")................. .13.:.SUBTERRA............|..1..:.SUBTERRA.WAD ("Subterra")................. .14.:.EXPRESS ELEVATOR I..|.31..:.TEETH.WAD ("The Express Elevator To Hell") .15.:.EXPRESS ELEVATOR II.|.32..:.TEETH.WAD ("Bad Dream")................... .16.:.TRAPPED ON TITAN....|..1..:.TTRAP.WAD ("Trapped On Titan")............ .17.:.VESPERAS............|..9..:.VESPERAS.WAD ("Vesperas")................. .18.:.VIRGIL'S LEAD.......|..3..:.VIRGIL.WAD ("Virgil's Lead").............. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: The Xbox map names in this table are the actual names for the Xbox Master Levels maps. (The names displayed on the tally screens are incorrect, as are almost all names and numbers displayed on the Automap screen.) 6. SONY PLAYSTATION FINAL DOOM ============================== o Note that although this PlayStation game is titled "Final Doom", it includes 13 "Master Levels" maps as its first Episode. o A Sony PlayStation ("PSX"), model SCPH-1001, equipped with one standard PlayStation controller (model SCPH-1080), was used as the test system for the PSX Final Doom described in this document. For testing multiplayer games the system was connected to an identical system via the PlayStation Link cable (model SCPH-1040). o Pros: PlayStation Final Doom is currently the only console-based Doom game that includes any of the map levels found in PC Final Doom. 2-player ability via system link. Unlike the Xbox Master Levels game, extensive controller customizing is allowed (Fire button can swap functions with Speed button or Activate button, etc.), sound and music volume can be adjusted independently, "Follow mode" can be toggled on/off in Automap view, multiplayer games may be played at multiple skill levels, items in Deathmatch games re-spawn, and the skies and backgrounds in the Master Levels maps are similar to those in the equivalent PC maps. A player may start the game on the first map of any Episode ("MASTER LEVELS", "TNT" or "PLUTONIA") and play the game through to the last map of the "PLUTONIA" Episode. This game supports the PlayStation Mouse in addition to the standard game controller (an improvement over the earlier PlayStation Doom game). o Cons: Many maps from PC Final Doom are missing (as are some maps from the PC "Master Levels" mapset). Multiplayer games are limited to 2 players, and can only be played via system link; No split-screen multiplayer option, as is found in the Xbox Doom II Master Levels game. A player's progress in the game is preserved by password codes, and passwords are only given after successful completion of an Area (a player cannot save a game in the middle of playing a map level, and then have it restored later to the same position). When a "saved" game is restored, a player always restarts the mission from the map's entry point. Game cannot make use of a memory card. Some design flaws on certain map levels (inaccessible rooms or monsters, etc.). Arch-Vile and Spider Mastermind enemies from equivalent PC maps do not appear in this game. Deathmatch games are player-only (monsters cannot be included). Game does not save controller or sound configuration settings. Upper limits on ammo are not shown in the status bar; only the currently-held weapon has an ammo level displayed. Cannot expand the first-person view to fill the entire screen. Occasionally objects in the foreground are partially overlaid by background wall or floor textures. Weapons are cyclic-access only (although weapon choices may be cycled while the game is paused). From powering up the game system, there is a relatively long delay (over a minute) before the player can actually start playing. Cannot import external map levels. No option to record and play back games/ demos. All of the built-in cheat codes are comparatively long and complex (for example, an invincibility code is 5 button presses on the PC and 10 on the PSX). No "Gamma Correction" feature. o Miscellaneous: Port by id Software and Williams Entertainment, Inc. CD format; 1 CD. 30 map levels, all of which are found in the equivalent PC titles. In general, the basic map level layouts in this game closely match those of the equivalent PC titles, but there are some changes on some maps, and some original objects and/or textures from the PC editions are missing. Good graphics resolution and quality. Gameplay speed is adequate, but will be somewhat slower than a Master Levels/Final Doom game played on an Xbox or modern computer. Map level, skill level, health, armor, weapon and ammo information is translated to a password code which is given after successful completion of each map level. The last password entered or generated on the password screen may be re-entered with a single button press (useful when, for example, a player is killed and wishes to restart the map level with a non-default status). Game information stored in a password may be inaccurate (health, armor and ammo level numbers tend to be rounded). Features music (and other background audio effects) not found in the PC/Xbox games. Monster and weapon sounds tend to differ from the sounds used in the PC/Xbox games. Health potions and Spiritual Armor bonuses add 2% to a player's health or armor (versus 1% in the PC/Xbox games). In PC Doom II-based games the two shotgun types are both represented as weapon 3 in the status bar; In PSX Final Doom the two shotgun types are separated into weapons 3 and 4. No "Nightmare" skill level. In this game, "blurred" objects are translucent and faded, but otherwise maintain their normal colors and surface features (in the PC games, "blurred" objects, when visible, are a translucent gray, with a flat, flowing/scrambled surface). Another version of the Spectre monster appears in this game: the "Nightmare Spectre", which appears visibly darker, and is harder to kill than the normal Spectre. The Nightmare Spectre is not a 1-to-1 replacement for the missing Arch-Vile monster. Very tall rooms or areas from equivalent maps in the PC games are lower in these maps. An "X-ray vision" cheat code not found in the PC games is included. An animated "wall of fire" exterior background that is not found in the PC/Xbox games appears in some map levels. Some monsters and monster projectiles tend to move slower than their PC-game counterparts. Graphics "noise" may sometimes be seen along the top or bottom edges of walls. On occasion the "marine face" in the status bar explodes when the player character is killed. On occasion, when a Pain Elemental monster dies, the Lost Souls generated by its explosion may be flung through nearby walls, where they may become trapped. Lost Souls that are trapped behind walls may still be visible, but may be impossible to kill (this has little effect on the game, since Lost Souls do not count towards a Kills score). Some monsters on the original PC maps are replaced with different monsters on the equivalent maps in this version. In 2-player games, both player characters wear a green uniform. In Cooperative games Frags are not indicated in the tally screens. The "Lots of Goodies" cheat code will not add keys if they are not necessary. Invisible solids, or surfaces with 1-way transparency (as found in the PC games) are missing. Cannot place numerical markings on the Automap. No walk-through-walls cheat code (as in the PC games). Cheat codes may be entered with the controller, and/or may be pre-loaded into the game with various third-party devices. o PlayStation Final Doom includes 30 maps, divided into 3 Episodes: Episode | Episode name | Maps included --------|---------------|----------------------------- ...1....|.MASTER LEVELS.|.13 maps (maps 1 through 13). ...2....|.TNT...........|.11 maps (maps 14 through 24) ...3....|.PLUTONIA......|..6 maps (maps 25 through 30) o Comparison of PlayStation Final Doom maps and equivalent PC game maps: PSX FINAL DOOM "MASTER | LEVELS" MAPS | PC MASTER LEVELS MAPS ---------------------------|------------------------------------- MAP : MAP NAME | MAP : WAD FILE NAME (MAP TITLE) ----:----------------------|-----:------------------------------- ..1.:.ATTACK...............|..1..:.ATTACK.WAD ("Attack")......... ..2.:.VIRGIL...............|..3..:.VIRGIL.WAD ("Virgil's Lead").. ..3.:.CANYON...............|..1..:.CANYON.WAD ("Canyon")......... ..4.:.COMBINE..............|..1..:.COMBINE.WAD ("The Combine")... ..5.:.CATWALK..............|..1..:.CATWALK.WAD ("The Catwalk")... ..6.:.FISTULA..............|..1..:.FISTULA.WAD ("The Fistula")... ..7.:.GERYON...............|..8..:.GERYON.WAD ("Geryon")......... ..8.:.MINOS................|..5..:.MINOS.WAD ("Minos' Judgement") ..9.:.NESSUS...............|..7..:.NESSUS.WAD ("Nessus")......... .10.:.PARADOX..............|..1..:.PARADOX.WAD ("Paradox")....... .11.:.SUBSPACE.............|..1..:.SUBSPACE.WAD ("Subspace")..... .12.:.SUBTERRA.............|..1..:.SUBTERRA.WAD ("Subterra")..... .13.:.VESPERAS.............|..9..:.VESPERAS.WAD ("Vesperas")..... ---------------------------|------------------------------------- | PSX FINAL DOOM "TNT" MAPS | PC FINAL DOOM TNT/EVILUTION MAPS ---------------------------|------------------------------------- MAP : MAP NAME | MAP : MAP NAME ----:----------------------|-----:------------------------------- .14.:.SYSTEM CONTROL.......|..1..:.SYSTEM CONTROL................ .15.:.HUMAN BARBECUE.......|..2..:.HUMAN BBQ..................... .16.:.WORMHOLE.............|..4..:.WORMHOLE...................... .17.:.CRATER...............|.12..:.CRATER........................ .18.:.NUKAGE PROCESSING....|.13..:.NUKAGE PROCESSING............. .19.:.DEEPEST REACHES......|.16..:.DEEPEST REACHES............... .20.:.PROCESSING AREA......|.17..:.PROCESSING AREA............... .21.:.LUNAR MINING PROJECT.|.23..:.LUNAR MINING PROJECT.......... .22.:.QUARRY...............|.24..:.QUARRY........................ .23.:.BALLISTYX............|.26..:.BALLISTYX..................... .24.:.HECK.................|.28..:.HECK.......................... ---------------------------|------------------------------------- | PSX FINAL DOOM "PLUTONIA" | MAPS | PC FINAL DOOM PLUTONIA MAPS ---------------------------|------------------------------------- MAP : MAP NAME | MAP : MAP NAME ----:----------------------|-----:------------------------------- .25.:.CONGO................|..1..:.CONGO......................... .26.:.AZTEC................|..3..:.AZTEC......................... .27.:.GHOST TOWN...........|..5..:.GHOST TOWN.................... .28.:.BARON'S LAIR.........|..6..:.BARON'S LAIR.................. .29.:.THE DEATH DOMAIN.....|.20..:.THE DEATH DOMAIN.............. .30.:.ONSLAUGHT............|.10..:.ONSLAUGHT..................... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: In PSX Final Doom, map 28 is referred to as "BARON S LAIR" in the tally screens, and "BARON'S LAIR" in the Automap.
