PC editions of hidden levels in Original-Xbox Ultimate Doom and Doom II (original) (raw)

PC editions of hidden levels in Original-Xbox Ultimate Doom and Doom II ======================================================================= The Old/Original-Xbox titles "Doom 3: Limited Collector's Edition" and "Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil" include ports of PC Ultimate Doom and Doom II. Each port has all the levels from the original PC game, plus one extra level: "Sewers" in Ultimate Doom, and "Betray" in Doom II. These are hidden levels and were never intended to be a part of normal gameplay.

Official PC versions of the hidden levels can be downloaded in a Zip file here: https://classicdoom.com/xboxspec.zip

WAD FILE INFORMATION -------------------- The Xbox versions of Sewers and Betray have flaws that could prevent the player from reaching the exit: In Sewers there is a tiny invisible pit just big enough for the player to drop into and become trapped; In Betray a teleporter pad that should work, does not. SEWERSXB.WAD and BETRAYXB.WAD are the flawed levels in the Original-Xbox games; SEWERS.WAD and BETRAY.WAD are the corrected editions, and supersede any earlier PC WAD files for the same levels.

Notes: A level in a WAD file temporarily replaces a standard level in the game. The "Enemies" entry here shows the total enemies initially present when playing at Skills 1 or 2, Skill 3, and Skills 4 or 5. (Any Doom/Doom II level can have three possible starting-enemy counts depending on the difficulty setting.) "Secrets" are only those that affect a player's Secret score. "Par time" is the correct time (Sewers and Betray Par times in-game are wrong).

DEMO FILE INFORMATION --------------------- The demo files here can be played back using original DOS Doom/Doom II engines, or any fully compatible source-port like Chocolate Doom or PrBoom. For general information on demo files, access https://classicdoom.com/lmpintro.htm
