Hello there, fellow people of Cutstuff!
The four last days, I started looking for every version ever of MM8BDM. I compiled them into one zip file for legacy purposes, and also to let you discover what it was like before. You'll see how big the gap between versions is!
This archive contains the following versions:
Alpha
SGC Demo
v1a
v1b
v1c
v1d
v1d-old
v2a
v2b
v2c
v3a
v3b
v4a
v4b
v4c
v5a
v5b
v5c
v5d
v6a
v6b
Before you ask, yes, I asked Mike if I could release this archive. Though what Mike doesn't want to see is outdated versions being hosted.
You can download the Archives on Google Drive (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0By2qN1MCmgpxZnJEbTlJYXBWWW8?resourcekey=0-55zRxF3rWHUBXIT9HhvC9g&usp=sharing)
Have fun going back in time!
Don't forget to read the readme file, you'll find some details there.
Special thanks:
CutmanMike, for providing v2b specially for this pack.
Promestein, for providing the MEGA mirror, no longer in use.
EDIT (11/03/2023): Updated the Google Drive link to include all downloads for v6b: installer, 32bit and 64bit. Just use the appropriate one.

It might be a good idea to set up a MEGA or Google Docs folder so folks can pick and choose which versions they want to download. Downloading every version at once is kind of painful.

True. I'll make folders ASAP.

I went and individually packaged them.

Thanks Promestein! I'm doing the same by my side on Google Drive.

There's something you might want to look into in the Alpha package.
There's a free, probably illegal copy of Doom 2 in there.

Do you know another way to play the Alpha without doom2.wad? If yes, please tell me.

I can't even play the Alpha with Doom 2! Maybe an alternative launcher is needed, the old one seems to only be for online games.
EDIT: Derp. I didn't read the README.

I don't know how to create a launcher for the Alpha. Moreover, I've put the steps in the readme file, steps being: drag MegaDMAlpha.pk3 onto skulltag.exe.
Also, I tried putting megagame.wad instead of doom2.wad, and it didn't work, so I think Doom2.wad is mandatory to play the Alpha.

You shouldn't be sharing commercial IWADs when they're still available to purchase.

I didn't even notice it in there - I must not be very attentive.
Swapped it out for Freedoom.

Alright, I'll put freedoom1.wad instead of doom2.wad. Thanks for telling me.
EDIT: I've removed the link to the archive on Dropbox. It'll take time before the whole file is reuploaded.
EDIT 2: Dropbox link back up!

You must be the guy that took over Chaos Generator development!
You shouldn't be sharing commercial IWADs when they're still available to purchase.
And you must be the one that uploaded the older versions!

Uh, no, I'm not. I'm the only one to work on the Archives: Promestein's role was only uploading it to MEGA.

I don't think that was directed to you, PotatoStrike. Alex was quoting Xhatahx and Beed, so logically, he must be talking to them.

I'd like to bump this topic in honor of MM8BDM's 10th anniversary, which is today!
-
Thank you for bumping this, I had spend the last few days scouring the internet for uploads for exactly that historical reason, just seeing the changes over time, and came up empty, completely missing this thread. thank you kindly for putting this up, this will make the last few days of wait easier! =D
-
Sweet, I always wanted to see how this whole thing started out, but couldn't find a link for the SGC demo anywhere. Thanks for providing these.
-
it was good that it came with freedoom. just one question: how do i set up freedoom for multiplayer?

Did you try any hosting services, such as TSPG? Almost every server for Zandronum is set up using their hosting system.

cool

I Launched OLD In 2022 :shock:

Get ready to add V6B to the archive in Mar10 Day!

Yeah that's the plan! I haven't forgotten about the archives and I'm glad people can enjoy playing taking a trip down memory lane to when they first started playing.
