DGC Doom Map Pack Collaboration
Back in March 2017 when we started DOS Game Club, we needed a game to start the club with. We didn't have any suggestions or anything back then, so we picked something ourselves. In hindsight it should have been something small. Something not too ambitious. Something simple so we could learn the ropes a bit. But yeah... we picked Doom.
Now in 2025 we've released over 100 episodes, so we thought it would be appropriate to revisit Doom and dive into some of the things we missed at the time. In particular we want to take a look at the amazing homebrew custom WAD content Doom is famous for, and the community aspect that goes along with it.
So in the spirit of this, the club decided to take it upon themselves to put together a custom WAD of our own, in the form of a map pack that covers an entire episode (8 levels + 1 secret level). Many people pitched in and we think it's fair to say the result has exceeded anyone's expectations. This is easily the largest community project the DOS Game Club has ever delivered!
To play the DGC map pack, add the WAD file to your Doom directory and start Doom with the file attribute, like so: doom -file dgc-t5.wad
