"Destruction of Hell? More like destruction of my frontal cortex. This wad is mostly mindless BFG slaughter and not very fun or challenging. Other levels like to not give you ANY weapons and then you have something like Map22. Oh god..."

description: "Maybe you're asking - why did I upload such a shitty megawad on /idgames? Let me explain the story behind this one:

When I was in elementary school, I made my very first Doom megawad (two actually) in WadAuthor. Of course, the maps were poor quality (nothing much changed since then, lol) because I was ahem a child and had no experience with level design and I barely understood the Doom engine and the editor.

I have never uploaded my first maps on /idgames nor showed it to the world. The only place I uploaded it was a rather less known website that was owned by my friend Kelvin. The website doesn't exist anymore.

But for some reason, the megawad was later uploaded to https://www.wad-archive.com/ (not by me, no idea who uploaded it there). Later on, someone sent me an email telling me he likes the megawad. I didn't speak English back then, but I put together something and sent it.

Recently, I did a little research and I realized the person was Jean-Yves Delpech aka Jive. His wiki page: https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Jean-Yves_Delpech_(jive)
Unfortunately he died of cancer in 2011. Too bad.

He also added couple of his edits and comments in the .txt file. Let me copypaste them here:
***
I made the Bex file for GZW on 6 sept, 2006
I made the picture "CWILV21.bmp" which was forgotten
Map31: the last bridge was wrongly designed and gave an OpenGl artefact which was horrible.
Map25: some walls were using the unknown texture "REDWALL1". I replaced it with "REDWALL"
some walls were using the unknown texture "LITESTON". I replaced it with "LITE3"
Many others were in the same case... Obviously, a set of customized textures was forgotten... What is strange is that it's the only one map using customized textures!!!
Map28: the bridge was wrongly designed and gave an OpenGl artefact which was horrible.
***

Anyway, the megawad disappeared from https://www.wad-archive.com/. The only trace of it is a message, which reads: Sorry, downloads for destroy-hell.wad cannot be provided as there are no links available or it is a commercial WAD.

I was glad, because the megawad is a huge cringefest and should be forgotten forever. Or not? For some reason, I have received a couple of emails during the last decade from people looking for it. Well, if they want it, I ll send it!

I also tried to Google Destroy hell and I realized it was mentioned couple of times on many places, including Doomworld.

Eventually, I decided to publish it. You know, just to preserve the history. Just to make my body of work complete.

I also fixed couple of (very serious) bugs and made a couple of changes, but not much. Not only because I am too lazy to do some bigger rework, but also because I want to keep the megawad as it originally was.

So this is Destroy Hell."
