Maximum Doom: The Mount Everest of Shovelware

This is a video for Maximum Doom, a collection of wads and megawads released by Id Software alongside the Master Levels for Doom 2 back in the 90s. It was made for people that couldn't access the internet and download content online. It's a mishmash of individual maps with varying levels of quality. But it's pretty much just official shovel ware with some historical value in the development history of map making for classic Doom.

Additional Notes:

- Some of the maps have their own sounds and music, but the majority of them just use the official tracks instead.

- I glossed over the maps specifically due to the quantity of maps involved in the collection. For the sake of time I focused on explaining the general idea of Maximum Doom instead. The experience is best when you're going in blind.
