The Doomer Boards Quiz Game Thread - Intermission

Lol I had a brainfart. I thought of eternal doom because it has episodes as well.

I'll say Fava beans because it's the first 90s e1 episode replacement I can think of.

Is it Nuke mine?

Thank you, it was interesting and fun! But I don't consider myself erudite enough to host a quiz. Doom has always been a childhood game for me, but I didn’t really go into details, I just made a few unreleased maps around ten years ago. I only recently began to dig deeper when I started editing DoomWiki. So I could prepare some questions, but not lead.

OK, since no one has picked this up in a week, and since I have something lined up to start on Christmas day, but not before, I have decided to do an impromptu "blitz" session, until the end of December 24th.

To make things more interesting I've updated the rules in the first post a bit. Mostly with the goal of speeding things up and preventing the game from being stuck. The summary of the changes:
(1) Unanswered questions will now be replaced after at least 24 hours and at most 48 hours.
(2) You may guess again after I've declared your previous answer incorrect, but not before (to avoid flooding every possible answer).

Additionally, I am relaxing the no-edit rule so that if you edit your post before anyone else replied (i.e., your post is still last at the time of the edit), then it will not disqualify you. There was at least one case last time where it would have made a difference, and in hindsight, it seems OK to allow that, I just felt uncomfortable changing the rules in-flight.

The scoreboard is restarted, and the first question will be posted shortly.

super shotgun

shotgun and chaingun (guess)

I thought so too, but it never hurts to ask. I'll pass this one then, I never ever played Doom deathmatch (what a shame).

So... no complete answers so far, but a couple of partial ones. Hint: at least one correct weapon has not been mentioned so far.

Anyone may re-answer.

Yes, I admit it was a great deal of fun back in the day. We deathmatched at my school when we realized that the local Win98 network includes IPX support which made DOOM networking work "just like that". Needless to say, the map we played the most was MAP01.

Anyhow, you may still be able to deduce the correct answer from the guesses and the hints.

Almost but try again... mind the hint.

rocket launcher and chainsaw?

Plasma gun and shotgun

Finally somebody mentioned the BFG. Unfortunately, no one got 3 out of 3.

The answer is: Super Shotgun, Rocket Launcher and BFG. All three appear on the first ledge to the left of the starting point. There is another BFG in the first room, visible from P1 start. Another Super Shotgun is in the north room with the 4 Zombiemen. The original Rocket Launcher from the secret room is also there.

There is only 1 chainsaw and shotgun (original locations). A chaingun is visible in the corridor from the starting point. A plasma rifle is added on the AC unit (or whatever that is) which triggers the door to open outside.

I guess this kind of question would be easier to answer 20 years ago when everyone still deathmatched on the original levels.

Trying a different one now...

Q1a. The PlayStation ports of the Doom games included a subset of levels from the original PC releases, but rearranged. For each port - list the releases it drew levels from.
