## Long lost maps re-discovered

Thanks to Scragbait the list of lost maps was shortened:
http://www.quaddicted.com/filebase/butcher.zip
http://www.quaddicted.com/filebase/trash/cavosin.zip (will crash)
http://www.quaddicted.com/filebase/cavosin_fixed (fixed by jdhack)
http://www.quaddicted.com/filebase/mercy.zip
http://www.quaddicted.com/filebase/series1.zip

I got curious and looked around in the web archive a bit to find this: http://quakemecca.simplenet.com/list.html. Some of those files seem to have been mirrored, but I cannot get them. Each download stalls at 99%. (http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://quakemecca.simplenet.com/files/maps/something.zip)

   Those maps suck. Descriptions in /queue.
   GG, Cavosin even crashes DP.

   Hah, great. I’m not surprised that they’re utter-crap, though. Thanks Scragbait!

   Spirit, MeccaWorld is the site that listed butcher and series1 in the first place. Though that list you’ve just posted does not contain anything new.

   Be sure to get Gateway to Skaro, from Shambler’s QExpo2001 booth:

   Also searching for, Leafface’s stupid.zip, I remember it being listed as singleplayer on the author’s site, which is no longer active:

   Oops. I was fooled by the listed fane.zip then. Turns out there is fane11.zip in the archive already. :)

   Thanks.

   I’m pretty impressed you found some old review site in archive.org and compared it versus your stock.

   Another lost map:

   Industrial Combat by Jim Lowell, circa Fall 1997. May or may not have been released, but this was the first map to use rubicon textures (before rubicon!) and was a submission to a contest run by the company that owned qED. I actually made the textures for this map, then used them myself after.

   Also super rare: a one-room map I made called trachea.bsp which was passed about on a mailing list in mid-97.

   What about tronsp1? According to tron’s site (http://mapsbytron.com/maps.html), it was “released with very little fanfare”. Does no-one have it?

   Oh thanks. I think I had that once and lost it again… Will find it. :)
