Well it's almost 2005. Happy new year doomers!
Here is my gift to you: tv1998.wad.
In August 2004 I found a disk which contained Doom maps I made back in 1998.
I was pleasantly suprised since I believed these maps were lost for all eternity.
Playing them after such a long time, brought back good memories. tv1998 might
offer veteran doomers a chance to relive some of the good old days.
Eventhough these maps will not live up to modern standards, I decided to release them.
I also included 2 maps I made in early 1999 (map 12 and 06 ('structure 999' & 'begin')).
If you are looking for state of the art maps, with breathtaking scenerie and intens
battles, tv1998.wad will dissappoint you. You'll have to wait for Harmony to be released
:-)
The tv1998 maps are not big, suffisticated and challenging, but I found them fun and
innovative (for that time) none the less.
I figured there might be others out there who will appreciate these old maps (if only
for the sake of nostalgia).

C R E D I T S:
Thanks to id Software &
the makers of id Edit version 1.0,
Doom Editor Utilities for Doom II ver 1.00 and

L E G A L P A R T:
In the very unlikely event something goes (terribly) wrong with
your computer I do not accept any form of liability.
You may freely distribute the tv1998-files but you are not allowed
to make personal profit by selling/ renting/ leasing (one of) them.
You MAY use the tv1998 wad file as a base for your own wads, as long
as you give me proper credit and let me know about it.
N E W S:
For those who might be interested:
I'm still working on my next big project: Harmony. It was planned to
be released two years ago, but you know how it goes... delays and drastic
changes have pushed the release date to somewhere early 2005.
It will be a 10 level TC with all new textures and will feature
music made by Metabolist.
I wish you all a happy and peaceful new year,
Thomas V /2004
