WASTEME
Game: Doom II Year: 1996 Source Port: Any Specs: MAP01 Gameplay Mods: None Author: Malcolm Sailor idgames | doomwiki | onemandoom
All Apologies is one and WASTEME is another, more oblique reference to Nirvana. This is a slightly claustrophobic but cool jaunt through Hell with marble, blood, granite, and even a leap of faith following a Cyberdemon showdown. I dig the look of the blood canals.

Lab
Game: Doom II Year: 1996 Source Port: Any Specs: MAP01 Gameplay Mods: None Author: Malcolm Sailor idgames | doomwiki | onemandoom
Lab sticks out in DS-61-3 for its more impish, obtuse “puzzle” play. Well, that and all the silver. The different segments of this small facility are only linked via teleporter and there’s sort of a normal world / dark world thing going on, too.

Boom
Game: Doom II Year: 1996 Source Port: Any Specs: MAP01 Gameplay Mods: None Author: Malcolm Sailor idgames | doomwiki | onemandoom
This level from Sailor’s DS-61-3 package isn’t for a source port that didn’t exist yet! It’s actually heavily inspired by Dr. Sleep’s Doom II / Master-textured re-release of Dante’s Gate. It’s a short but fun and punchy level with a beefy teleporter ambush to begin. Don’t miss out on the early, secret shotgun.

From a Dream
Game: Doom II Year: 1996 Source Port: Any Specs: MAP01 Gameplay Mods: None Author: Malcolm Sailor idgames | doomwiki | onemandoom
Of the six PWADs included in DS-61-3, this is probably the simplest and most straightforward. That’s because From a Dream is a literal translation of a Doom PWAD that Sailor experienced in a dream. It makes sense, too. It doesn’t have the feel of a fictitious dreamworld but rather a sort of on-rails dream logic that you rarely question when you’re deep in sleep. The hardest part is probably the opening chaingunner crossfire.

All Apologies
Game: Doom II Year: 1996 Source Port: Any Specs: MAP01, MAP02 Gameplay Mods: None Author: Malcolm Sailor idgames | doomwiki | onemandoom
Malcolm’s upload following 3_PACK1 was a similar collection titled DS-61-2, later updated to DS-61-3. The shotgun blast had a grand total of six PWADs and this one - All Apologies - is actually a tiny, two-level set. The first level is indoors and outdoors with a little bit of height variation and rocket action. The second has much beefier opposition as well as a guess-wrong-and-fail switch trap at the end.

SINFERNO
Game: Doom II Year: 1996 Source Port: Any Specs: MAP01 Gameplay Mods: None Author: Malcolm Sailor idgames | doomwiki | onemandoom
It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out that the title was a sort of before / after pun. SINFERNO is a location-based map around the circumference of a Hellish cave. It sort of trolls the player by opening up one key door only to find the next right behind it as well as a long, meandering path that deposits you back at the next door with the key in hand. There isn’t a lot of margin for error, though - health pickups are few and far between.
