I haven't beaten it yet but from what I've played so far of it, easy S-tier. It's a very fun and polished hack! I need to finish it.

The 486 is an iconic CPU and I love it but I highly recommend a P2 or a K6-2 as it will allow you to play a whole lot more later games like half-life and Thief, as well as still being able to play the DOS classics.

@ yeah, my first pc was a 486-50. Ran a lot of good stuff but things like Mechwarrior 2 and Wing Commander 3 chugged pretty hard on it.

Just felt like talking about it

@@jikissgamer fair

That would be so painful haha. These levels crash all the time and I never know when it's gonna happen.

@@jikissgamer mike1.rtl crashes a lot due to the levels being too big. The author released an updated version where most levels were split into 2 separate levels. Not sure if that's necessarily a better thing if you're looking for that true brutality, haha.

@@josephwj7199 Oh that's really cool! I want to get hold of that version, do you have it by chance? I will continue to play the original on my channel though because you're right I do want the brutality haha.

@@jikissgamer Yeah, I'll for sure send it. Hoping it's still around, I played it last year, been a while. If I find it, it'll be in the email :)

@@josephwj7199 Thank you so much. I appreciate it 🙏

@@josephwj7199 it's great to be back! This level was really fun haha. My Twitter will be back soon. I ended up deactivating it by accident haha

@@jikissgamer Haha, I see. No worries. Just glad to see more ROTT content on here. There's someone on twitch going through the maps I collected from shovelware CDs. Some are pretty brutal.

@@josephwj7199 Oh nice! I'll have to check out that channel. I love the thrill of not knowing what map is coming next with these RTLs! It's exciting

@@jikissgamer Definitely, yeah. Some of these were so bad in their difficulty that it was pretty much my breaking point. I completed all except 1 with my brutal play style rules. Some are genuinely excellent, though.

@@josephwj7199 Yeah I really enjoy most of them. This Mike RTL in particular is really fun and challenging and it seems like the creator knows the game well.

Indeed! It was a great level, it's got a great atmosphere and it's challenging. That was my first time playing the level and I plan to check out the other secret levels too.

I definitely need to play that! I tried to download it on Metroid Construction just now but the download link is down.

@@AthrunTalan Thanks Athrun! It's good to hear from you!

@@user-fu1jy7jr3z It's good to be back!

@@spladam3845 Yeah this game has so many cool quirks and features despite being held together with ducttape lol. That impossible level is actually a warp only level from Extreme ROTT, called 95 Windows

@@1337Shockwav3 it's good to be playing ROTT again! I love this game.

@@j85grim4 I actually played these games when I was a kid. I was born in 1993 and we had a 486 at my house with all the classic DOS games. These games shaped my childhood.

@@jikissgamer Oh. You're older then I thought. You have a baby face like me. I'm 39 and still get carded for alcohol 🙄. I was born in 85 so I was 8 when I first played Doom in 93 on my friends PC cause we couldn't afford one.

@@j85grim4 I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Doom has so many great mods and WADs out there. That's awesome that you got into modding, I've always wanted to make some levels of my own but I lack the creativity haha.

@@jikissgamer I'm trying to discover them though and it's fairly difficult. Lists like yours have helped a lot. Like to see more ranking of the various Wads.

@@Postyboy864 Ultimate Doom is the original Doom game and the difference is that mods made with that game don't have the extra monsters and double barrel shotgun that Doom 2 and it's mods have.

Based.

@@Mr.Coffee576 glad you found the video helpful! Yeah the master levels are definitely an F tier wad haha. I still never finished those.

The algorithm. Don’t question it just run with it. This is good information for anyone getting into Doom. Theres a good few more now the console port has been updated.

Because a logical way to find good Doom wads is to search "doom wad tier list", and this video appears to be the only tier list for Doom wads on TH-cam.

arguably a tier list is much more helpful to people in general than video upon video of a monotone guy playing niche old shooter games, but i'm sure you're smart enough to realise that and are just salty that this pointless 'popcorn' youtube content is much more successful than all the other shit you put time into

Well I discovered your channel thanks to this video, I'm also new into this community doom mods and pwads stuff, so this was really informative to me. I'm kinda old, was born already when Doom came out, I've loved Doom since I was a child and now that I found this video, Imma look for all those pwads and given them a try. This was a very good video indeed, thanks for your work

@@alexaldayLC Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I hope the video helped! There is so much good custom Doom out there, this tier list barely scratches the surface haha.

Personally, a tierlist should be about the quality of the content within, not so much the historical importance attached.

I agree honestly, I'm very glad I saved Arcane Dimensions for last when I binged more than a dozen Quake mods for my first time a few years ago, otherwise the all the others would have been underwhelming. I will say Dimension of the Machine is also very beautiful but it's definitely no Arcane Dimensions.

@@jikissgamer AD maps just flow really well and have a really good sense of adventure. It reminds me of Map09 of Ancient Aliens if that makes sense, with a lot of popcorn cannon fodder and plenty of secrets. They feel like real worlds that are inhabited rather than feeling like levels or dungeons. Having "gamey" levels works in Doom because that game has really tight combat, but in Quake it feels kinda awkward to me. Also, are there any good HL1/HL2 mods? I've always wondered what cool combat encounters could be done with the grunt AI.

@@my_cellium Completely agree. Map 9 of Ancient Aliens was incredible, one of my favorite maps by Josh Sealy. I can't imagine how much time those really big AD maps took to make like Forgotten Sepulchre and Grendel's Blade, they're just packed with detail. For Half-Life 2 mods I highly recommend Entropy Zero 2, Mission Improbable, and Minerva Metastasis. I made a video on Minerva a couple years ago. For Half-Life 1 I would recommend They Hunger, Poke 464, Field Intensity and Residual Life.

Definitely! I really enjoy reviewing custom Doom wads and maps.

@@johnforkner The pirate ship is definitely a confusing maze that's way too big, I almost softlocked myself there on my first playthrough there cause I saved after Ridley with just 1 e-tank haha. It has grown on me on later playthroughs though.

@@tonywong8134 There is one huge hack called Lost World if you're looking for a gigantic map. It's a bit too big for my liking personally, but you might like it! If you haven't played Super Zero Mission yet I would also recommend that. It's a really cool hack! And if you like Hyper give Super Duper Metroid a try, it runs on the same project base engine and feels very similar.

@@jikissgamer thanks...I remember playing super zero mission but got frustrated with some of the platforming and never went back to it. Maybe I should go back and brush up my poor super Metroid skills. But lost world seems to be my next hack. Thanks.

@@niclaswa5408 Thanks for watching! Those are fantastic hacks. I would recommend giving Super Zero Mission a try next, and if you liked Hyper Metroid I also highly recommend Super Duper Metroid!

Thanks for responding! I would’ve played more hacks earlier, but I need long breaks because I get burnout from the clunky controls and listening through the same tracks in most of the hacks. (I do love the soundtrack, but there’s limits to how much I can listen to it)

@@matthewbilous6923 Nice!! Those are my two favorites as well. They are so well designed and very challenging. Both are over 10 years old by now and I think they still hold up very well! I replay them like once a year. I also spent forever searching for Maridia on my first play of z-factor and it was very satisfying to finally locate it haha

@@jikissgamer yeah I never found wrecked ship before maridia, I took the bomb blocks down into maridia without gravity you have to have near frame perfect jumps on frozen enemies over a sand pit with water physics and ‘sand water fall thingy’ physics, not too mention the frozen enemies pan off screen when you make your jumps from enemy to enemy so it’s a blind jump. Hot garbage I put the controller down; guess this route leads to a super secret room with early items unless I’m mistaking another hack. I’m deff going to pre-maridia only to get spazer and speed booster This time around, then to wrecked ship to get gravity. 🤷‍♂️ super zero mission had me by the short and curlys but yeah I’m not brave enough to do maridia in Z factor without gravity suit this time around 😬

@@benox50 Thanks for watching, loved your hack Ascent! Yeah the reason I included AM2R was just because I thought my list was a bit short. I should have just waited bit longer to make this video because I played like 10 more hacks since then haha.

I would love to do a video on Zero Mission hacks. I haven't played any but I recently got myself a GBA everdrive and am excited to start downloading and playing them!

Thanks!

that is just a single map gimmick that got famouse because romero played it in one of his streams

Lower C tier.

@@grabisoft it got famous before Romero played it but yeah, It's fun playing for the first time but has very low replayability gameplay wise
