Guys — I think you forgot to talk about the secret map/level (called House of Horrors) accessible from the carnival map. Not sure if any other game from that time featured secret levels!

DOOM had one in every episode, I think 😉

Nitemare 3D had one too! I think we talked about that on the podcast 😀

Every major 3D shooter in the DOS era had secret levels. Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, Heretic, Duke Nukem 3D, Quake – all had one per episode. Games that were not split to episodes (Spear of Destiny, DOOM II, Descent) had a couple as well; Hexen basically had one secret level per hub. It was like a mandatory element of the design. 🙂
