Description
"The Lost Episodes of Doom", the book (written by Jonathan Mendoza and published by Sybex) contained a set of techbase style levels designed by Christen Klie and Bob Carter, acting as a parallel story to Doom 1 by taking place on Jupiter and its moons. The book itself acted as, not only a strategy guide, but also insight into how the levels were made by Klie and Carter. After the release of the unofficial expansion, a doom community member (BlueFireZ88) later updated the levels to be more independent of the base game by utilizing zdoom features. The result was v2.
Where can I find this? Seems to be very interesting...
Bought this book at a Best Buy store years ago. Unfortunately the 3.5 diskette that came with it got screwed up somehow before I bought it. So I never did get a chance to play those levels. The book itself was interesting though.
But I think putting those 3.5 diskette in an envelope and attaching them to the inside of the back cover of a book like they did, was a very bad idea. The back cover is too thin for protection. They seem to get easily damaged through packing and shipping.
Anyway, you probably could find this book for sale on Amazon or EBay now. But the chance of a disk in original or good condition, that came with the book, is something that I wouldn't get my hopes up about.
But I didn't know somebody updated the levels to a version 2. That's something worth looking into.
