"Down's," for example, requires using the chainsaw to blow up several barrels and... good luck with that. * Darkwave0000's map was the contest winner! Congrats on being the worst! * JSMG's map was disqualified, and couldn't be included in the compilation, because it contains DECORATE features. It's still a lot of fun anyway! * arrrgh's map was disqualified because while it *technically* has an exit and is *technically* possible to complete, doing so is so unlikely that it might as well be impossible. Also it has a "crash the game" button, so you have been warned. Great job doing a terrible job! * A zip containing the original, individual submissions can be downloaded via the following Mediafire link: http://www.mediafire.com/?4rnqz2nkwkn * By the way, sorry about Fatal's map name and description. I'm presenting it as-is for historical preservation, but I don't condone making fun of people with disabilities. * Map Details * MAP01 Level Name : "TEH MOST EP1C M4PZORZ EVAH" Author : Aaronjw Description : "You are equipped with a BFG9000.

Author Comments : "Yep...I called it DAVE01 just for the contest. That's my real name...of course. This is actually my first map ever. I installed Yadex this morning and have been messing with it most of the day. So here ya go...my crappy entry. :P" MAP03 Level Name : "Shafted by the Man" Author : Reaper978 Description : "A pointless hallway. There are doors, rooms with contradicting themes, and a zombieman in each room. Tada. I put far too much effort into this pile of horseshit, so I hope you're entertained. Prepare to be shafted." MAP04 Level Name : "Calooby" Author : Jickle Editors Used : Doombuilder Description : "A map with many copied and pasted squares with only one sector which isn't copied. Completeable." MAP05 Level Name : "stupid.wad" Author : Deathdealer Editors Used : DB2 Description : "Entry to the NewDoom crappywad contest" MAP06 Level Name : "illJoke" Author : Ilya Seletsky (as potnop) Editors Used : Doom Builder, Wintex, XWE Music : "Hit the Lights" by Metallica, sequenced to MIDI by Unknown Description : "A map created for the contest called: Make a crappy but completable map The idea sounded fun and led to me creating these levels and having many laughs along the way. Here is the epic description that follows: Shit has finally hit the fan at UAC as the monsters are invading the primary research subspace array. You are the only marine bad ass enough to emerge victorious and stop this invasion. The map is divided into parts Part 1: Deathly Frontier ------------------------ You enter the source of the invasion in the UAC test chamber. This is the last room with any semblance of technology left. Beyond the hallway lies the path to hell. Battle through the gate guardians and proceed. Part 2: Garden of Delinquency ----------------------------- You suddenly appear in a beautiful garden. Wait no, it's anything but beautiful. The crooked trees are alone enough to fill any badass marine with dread of what's to come, not to mention the run across to the other side that seems basically impossible. You must persevere and reach the exit wall to proceed. Go forth warrior. Part 3: Hallway of madness -------------------------- Suddenly you appear at the end of a long hallway. The walls fill you with madness as you think about how annoying it is that the textures are the default doom builder textures. Now you start your trek down the long hallway to see what's ahead. Don't be discouraged by what comes next. If you put your mind to it you can accomplish anything and get out of this claustrophobic place. Part 4: The final battle ------------------------ This is the moment you have been waiting for. The evil visage of the most horrible demon you have ever seen lies at the top of the invisible hill. This place is full of the most evil of nazis as well. Is that... Is that Hitler? No matter, the important task now is to rend the evil head to peices." MAP07 Level Name : "Station of the Darkness" Author : leilei Music : Unknown Editors Used : DCK 2.2, MIDI2MUS Description : "You are exiting your UAC station on the planet Mars, but you have to get the hell out of here.

MAP08 Level Name : "Shitty" Author : Annunakitty (as Nomad) Editors Used : Doom Builder 2, SLumpED Music : "Sweet Dreams" by Marilyn Manson, sequenced to MIDI by Unknown Description : "Sonic waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were hams in the fridge. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to Tails were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway. Sonic was a space hedgehog for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the spaceships and he said to dad "I want to be on the ships daddy." Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY HAMS" There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the space station fridge of the UAC he knew there were hams. "This is Tails" the radio crackered. "You must fight the hams!" So Sonic gotted his palsma rifle and blew up the wall. "HE GOING TO KILL US" said the hams "I will shoot at him" said the cyberham and he fired the rocket missiles. Sonic plasmaed at him and tried to blew him up. But then the ceiling fell and they were trapped and not able to kill. "No! I must kill the hams" he shouted The radio said "No, Sonic. You are the hams" And then Sonic was a rumproast." MAP09 Level Name : "best wad ever from doomworld BBS!"

MAP12 Level Name : "Darkwave17, TH3 L33T M4P" Author : Darkwave0000 Music : "Untitled" by Darkwave0000 Description : "This is a Doom2 map for Crappy Map Contest 2009. I am hoping you despise this map as much as I enjoyed making it. ^_^" MAP13 Level Name : "1994!" Author : Travers Dunne Editors Used : SLADE 2.0 Alpha Description : "Made for a contest to make a "crappy map". Very basic and I kinda made in what I recall as my own original progression of learning to make maps (although I certainly didn't do all this on the one map back then). Enjoy?" MAP14 Level Name : "666 DEMONS" Author : Mr. Freeze Description : "My entry for the "Worst .wad" Competition * The Story So Far... * Mr. Freeze waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were bugs in the .wad. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to Cyb were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway. Mr. Freeze was a mapper for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the maps and he said to dad "I want to make maps daddy." Dad said "No! You will BE MOCKED BY DOOMWORLD" There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the .wad of the laptop he knew there were bugs. "This is Cyb" the radio crackered. "You must fix the bugs!" So John gotted his Dombuilder and deleted the linedefs. "HE GOING TO KILL US" said the bugs "I will shoot at him" said the bug and he made a self-referencing sector. Mr. freeze deleted at him and tried to fix the map. But then Doombuilder crashed and they were trapped and not able to code. "No! I must fix the bugs!" he shouted The radio said "No, Mr. Freeze. You are the bugs" And then this map was made." MAP15 Level Name : "The Labyrinth of DOOM" Author : Walker Wright (as pavera) Description : "A dank, dark, dripping labyrinth filled with bloodthirsty demons. What could be around the next corner? Who knows. Featuring the innovative new OPTICAL CEILING technology! In other words I tried to achieve the essense of 1994 as best as possible." MAP16 Level Name : "Oops! I Did It Again" Author : DarckRedd Music : "Oops! I Did It Again" by Britney Spears, sequenced to midi by Mario Rol Description : "The premise of this crap is simple. It looks like shit. It plays like shit. And, best of all, it treats the player like shit. Inspired by Kayin's notorious freeware platformer I Wanna Be the Guy. This isn't quite that difficult, but it plays unfair tricks in the same way." MAP17 Level Name : "I must win this contest, or u will be BFG'ed." Author : LogicDeLuxe Description : "u found uself in a D°°M level duh. seriously, this is a D°°M level. well actually a D°°M || (2) level. an cyberdämon is guarding a tree stump (end a sky door behinds it). thou must killz that bustard to enter the sky. ones u did dat, u willst enconter a 1337 D°°M letters which do looks extra ordinary real, but don't forget that this is just a über1337 hi detaild bunch of sectors. impressive, hu? there are a fu hidden weapns in this nice logo. find them and pick tehm up!!!!!!!!!!!!! u might needs them. next, step into the teletransporter and enter the final showdown area with the spider waitin 4u. yes, this is 1337, so no tiny easy monsters, this is for real 1337 peoples. and be awhere off the illusio-pit(TM)-maze. and i thinks your 1337 enough to find out teh rest so good lucks!!!!!!!!!!!!" MAP18 Level Name : "Down's" Author : Fatal Base : † Part of the level contains a modified version of Doom II MAP01 Description : "The effects vary from port to port, so you can consider it as getting an unique experience every time you switch ports! There shouldn't be any show stoppers. If you get stuck, try to imagine the mapper has Down's (note: he hasn't) and build your "strategy" with that in mind." MAP19 Level Name : "HELCANYN" Author : InsanityBringer Description : "Basically the results of terrible gameplay, and (if this was made in deu), the results of randomly marking lines and then turning them into sectors without trying I wanted to make this in DEU but even for a crappy map it's too annoying for me to use."

Description : "Created for the Worst Completable Wad Contest. Please don't take this seriously! Story: You're a teenager, one of Earth's angstiest, hardened in school and trained for nighttime vandalism. Three years ago you assaulted a teacher for ordering you to stop listening to Metallica on your Walkman and just take the test already. He and his finger cast were shipped nowhere, while you were transferred to the Union Aerospace Corporation's "Troubled Students Readjustment Program". The UAC is a multi-planetary conglomerate with juvenile detention centers on Mars and its two moons, Phobos and Deimos, and its "Troubled Students Center" is on Mars - far away from any unnecessary distractions, like normal life or a breathable atmosphere. With no action for, like, fifty million miles, man, your day consisted of suckin' dust and smoking weed during your "bathroom breaks". For the last four years the military, UAC's biggest supplier, has used the remote facilities on Phobos and Deimos to conduct various secret projects, including reaserch on inter-dimensional travel. So far they have been able to open gateways between its research centers, throwing a few gadgets into one end and watching them come out in your Troubled Student's Program's Lab Room. Recently however, the Gateways have grown dangerously unstable. Troubled student "volunteers" entering them have either disappeared or been stricken with a strange form of insanity - babbling vulgarities, bludgeoning anything that breathes, and finally suffering an untimely death of full-body explosion. Matching heads with torsos to send home to the folks became a full-time job. Latest school reports state that the research is suffering a small set-back, but everything is under control. [make sure to write something here later so this next part makes sense] You and your buddies, the only "volunteers" that the warden saw when he stuck his head out of his door, were sent pronto to the Lab Room to tell the computer nerds to quit that racket, not EVERYONE wants to hear blood-curdling screams and crunches while people are trying to WORK. You were all ordered to go inside, but you decided to stick around outside and smoke a few joints while all your buddies went in. For several hours, your walkman blasts "Master of Puppets" and "Ride the Lightning" on repeat, until you realize your buddies aren't back yet and something's up. Things aren't looking too good. You'll never find your way back to your classroom considering how high you are. Plus, all your weapons, including your shiv, switchblade, and box cutter, were taken by security at the front door, leaving you with only a pistol you made from an aluminum can and firecrackers. If only you could get your hands around a plasma rifle or even a shotgun you could take a few of those guards down on your way out. Anyone that takes your stuff deserves a couple of pellets in the forehead. Securing your helmet, you exit the landing pod. Then you wonder why you were inside a landing pod and shrug off that feeling. Hopefully you can find more substantial firepower somewhere within the station. As you walk through the main entrance to the base, still wondering why you are walking into a base, you hear animal-like growls echoing throughout the distant corridors. You start, like, totally freaking out man, and you're thinking about running away when BOOM! A massive apparition appears, shining with a light so bright it nearly blinds you. "RANDYYYYY" an enormous voice booms. "RANDYYYY!!!!!" "I... I'm not Randy!" you say back. "AVEENNNNGE MEEEE" says the apparition. The light wanes a little, just enough for you to see, and BEHOLD - IT'S CLIFF BURTON! THE FORMER BASSIST OF METALLICA WHO WAS KILLED WHEN METALLICA'S TOUR BUS FLIPPED OVER AND CLIFF WAS THROWN OUT THE WINDOW! YOU WORSHIPPED THIS GUY AND WEPT THE DAY YOU HEARD HE DIED, EVEN THOUGH YOU WEREN'T EVEN A FETUS YET! ONLY CAPITAL LETTERS CAN DISPLAY THE EXCITEMENT AND AWE YOU FEEL ON BEING HONORED WITH MR. BURTON'S PRESENCE! "YOU MUST KILL THESE DEMONS, BRANDON, OR ELSE I WILL NEVER REST," the voice booms. "EVERY NIGHT, BRAD, I LIE AWAKE THINKING OF THESE TERRIBLE, HIDEOUS DEMONS AND HOW AWFUL THEY ARE. THEY HAVE KILLED ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND CONSTANTLY COME TO MY AFTERWORLD-HOUSE UNINVITED AND DRINK ALL MY BEER. YOU MUST DESTROY THESE HIDEOUS DEMONS ONCE AND FOR ALL - FOR ME, RICHARD!" "Y-yes!" you stammer, nervously at first, then more confidently. "YES, I will kill the demons for you!" "VERY WELL, ROCKEFELLER, AND DO NOT FAIL," the apparition says as he fades away. "SHOULD YOU SUCCEED, YOU WILL EARN MY UNDYING THANKS, AND MEN SHALL TELL TALES OF YOUR VICTORY FOR ALL ETERNITY, AND !" Finally Cliff's ghost disappears. Ignoring the last part of Cliff's strange cut-off sentence, you find in yourself a new will to fight - to destroy every one of the demons inside the base, because they killed your friends, who owed you money, but also because they bother CLIFF BURTON OH MAN YOU JUST SPOKE TO HIM THAT WAS SO AWESOME. You load your gun, put on your Walkman, and get ready to ROCK HARDD!!! \m/ \m/ xXmEtAlLiCaFoReVeRXx \m/ \m/ MAP21 Level Name : "SUCKMAP" Author : Gifty Extras: "The Room of Doom" by arrrgh (see: roomofdoom.zip) "The Big Crap Bag" by JustSomeMusicGuy (see: tbcb.zip) "1994!.gif" An animated tutorial by Travers Dunne Changes for this Compilation: * MAP03: The exit needed to be altered because it would not trigger in non-limit removing ports. * MAP08: Several untagged sectors made completing this on anything other than ZDoom derivatives impossible. I also changed how the lift in the Cacodemon pen works so it's repeatable. Hey, it was my map anyway. * MAP13: The switch behind the blue door triggered the secret exit, but apparently there's a whole other wing of the map behind this switch, but it doesn't appear to be reachable and there are no monsters in it. I just changed this exit switch to be a normal exit since we have no secret maps in this lol * MAP14: The original wad had a ton of unused resources (heh), they have been removed for the compilation. =========================================================================== * Copyright / Permissions * Authors MAY NOT use the contents of this file as a base for modification or reuse.
