Talk:MAP24: The Chasm (Doom II)

Computer Bank
Just out of curiosity, is this the only level in the original two games where a computer bank actually functions as a switch? The idea was common in fan-made levels, although frowned on because it was non-standard, and I can't recall another instance of this in the original id levels. -Ashley Pomeroy 15:41, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

Good find. That terminal is something I clearly rememember from my very first play - a realistic and odd detail among rather abstract later Doom II levels. I recall there are such banks (both unusable) on E2M6 (in a small room with cacodemon and skulls) and E2M7 (a large mainframe that was there in alpha 0.5) - interestingly, both maps were made by Sandy Petersen, like MAP24. MAP17 of Evilution also has them, probably not worth mentioning. Mikerakhabit 18:54, August 15, 2011 (UTC)
