Timeline

PG Mars Needs Women v2.0

A modification of a modification. This one started with Mars Needs Women, above, and then went on to make a few tweaks. Includes the map he started with (so if you haven't already gotten it, you can get it here), and a list of changes made. This version fixes a small bug that kept the skull from showing up in Kill the Guy...

DMMC Archive v4

The Durandal Map Makers Club is a group of AOLers who get together to make M2 maps. They release an archive each week, comprised of all the M2 maps made by group members over the week. This is their fourth release, dated 12/31/95. This one's four maps. Seems to be a water theme... (Except for Spanker Island, which felt an awful lot to me like the M1 map Cylinder (available in one (or more, maybe) of the Suicide Maps). Pretty good quality, overall... I wasn't overly fond of Water World Arena (which is *nothing* like the Bungie map of similar name), but Pfhlange and Assault of the Bobs were ...

Egan-Rac

This one's big, bright, and has some pretty cool areas. Very liberal use of ambient sounds, and some fun waterfalls (although a couple of them are just annoying). This one would be good with 5-8 players...

Mars Revisited

This ain't Mars. Well, it has the same layout as Mars, and it's a pretty nice map in its own right, but it ain't Mars... The carnage pit is now a (very deep) pool, brightly lit. The upstairs is open to the air, with vistas... The compilers in the water are pretty cool, but it ain't Mars...

Pfhlood

The first M2 map done (well, sort of) by AFCYdnar, the creator of Pfhorever and Pfhactory. This map was never finished (it's not 68K clean-use Ignore Zero Divides on those machines), and was never meant to be released, but it has already been leaked by some of his friends, so... It's actually a pretty nice small (sewage-filled) arena. Dark, and the liquid keeps the death rate reasonable...

Water Sports

All weapons and ammo are suspended in midair, and the only way up is inside the 5 water columns of this small arena. Tricky... but a lot of fun once you get used to it.

Lord of the Sky

Conversion of an M1 map, Lord of the Pit. Don't fall off! (if you do, check out the bottom quickly...)

Mars Needs Women v1.1

Stays pretty close in feel to the original. One major difference, though... getting that spanker is a bit more painful than it used to be. (Seems like there are more purple compilers than in the original, too... those circling green bolts in the carnage pit are a pretty eerie sight!) Update has some tweaks (better lighting, some sounds, movement to the lava).

Matt's Tool

The first modified M2 map, as far as I know... This is a modification of Flight of the Toolator, with the lava removed and weapons and aliens beefed up.

Wisp's Small Net Maps

A pair of small arenas. Nice flow, and no aliens (although the Bobs in Chess can be a hassle). The readme only covers the first map... Nice placement for the alien weapon on The Abyss. (You'll stumble on it...)
