Changes: Memento Mori II

Latest revision as of 05:01, 23 March 2020

The main menu brought up at the beginning of MAP01: Outpost, showing the Memento Mori II logo and the megawad's custom status bar.

Memento Mori II is a 1996 megawad that contains 32 new levels, plus 2 top-secret levels that are not contained in the .WAD file itself (see Top-secret levels). It is the sequel to the 1995 megawad Memento Mori, with many of the same designers involved, including Denis and Thomas Möller of the Innocent Crew. Like its predecessor, and in contrast to most megawads, it is designed especially for cooperative multiplayer gameplay, although it can be played in single-player as well. It is also one of the few PWADs that are allowed to be used in Compet-N speedruns.

The Memento Mori II soundtrack was created by Mark Klem and David "Tolwyn" Shaw, who also released remastered versions of the tracks on the original version of MP3.com in 1999. The remastered songs can now be downloaded from Shaw's website, Tolwyn.com.
