The reactor and its subsystems have been all shot to hell and not surprisingly the state around here is even worse. More importantly, someone has been scavenging parts leaving behind a big mess, was their intention to cause a meltdown? Duke decides this ticking time bomb needs patching up long enough for technicians to arrive and prevent everything going up in a mushroom cloud.
Duke works for the Black Mesa Research Facility as part of a storage and packaging sector. One day during his shift he presses a big red button which unleashes an alien invasion upon his workplace. With his job position at risk, he must fight back and destroy the portal they’ve spilled out from.
Originally built as part of a larger total conversion that never saw the light of day, SEWAGE has Duke dropping into a Canadian sewer system seeking out a route below ground to reach the Parliament Building in Ottawa. Considering how Page’s JAILBIRD ended upon entering the sewers, this level doesn’t feel out of place as a possible follow up.
After some boat trouble and almost becoming food for the sharks, Duke touches down onto an island he’d received an S.O.S signal. There’s a boarded up, abandoned building here and yet the lights still flicker on inside. Checking a nearby computer terminal reveals these power fluctuations are a result of tampering and the central nuclear reactor is close to melting down. There’s only hours left to spare.
Mapping for the BUILD Engine version of PS/EX had always been a possibility, but because there were no mapping documentation this became a trickier process. What started out as a curiosity soon evolved into cross referencing the official levels and piecing together the information needed to create their own guide, eventually a three level campaign was developed attempting to show off some discoveries made along the way.
Enemy forces have compromised the space shield and have begun another assault on Earth, causing seismic disturbances and chemical contamination on various cities. Duke has been tasked to retrieve classified EDF documents and beware of a mirror production facility commandeered by aliens. What appeared as a rote invasion soon reveals something esoteric brewing beneath the surface.
Having lost an old childhood friend, Veddge visits their hometown for the funeral and later receives some old belongings. Amongst them is a floppy disk containing an unreleased DOOM project. Driven to complete this work as a tribute to their friend, countless nights were spent polishing the map and adding some modern amenities. Progress is made despite some strange occurrences during development, eventually the map started to form a life of its own and grew beyond the original concept.
Duke’s been ordered to travel to a southwestern canyon area in the USA, where there have been reports of EDF troops being fired upon by unknown assailants. Soon after arriving he finds signs of alien presence and what looks to have been a recent conflict, what’s going on here?
Wake up, take a leak and get some breakfast. Nothing out of the ordinary, it’s just a day like no other. This level guides you along a linear narrative presented using neat effects and rich design, starting off with an amusing introduction until something feels off…
As the captain of a cargo vessel, you are on a three month journey in charge of transporting dangerous aliens contained below deck. Before reaching its destination, you are awoken from cryosleep by the ship’s computer taking place at different times and presented with a new problem that only you can solve.
