PLUTONIA.WAD is the IWAD used by The Plutonia Experiment and Doom + Doom II.

Version 1.9 is 17,420,824 bytes in size, is dated 1996-06-10, contains 2,984 entries, and has the following hashes:

Hash type Hash code
MD5 75c8cf89566741fa9d22447604053bd7
SHA-1 90361e2a538d2388506657252ae41aceeb1ba360
CRC-32 48d1453c

The version above is the one found in the Final Doom Steam package.

A slightly different, and rarer, version is found on a later revision of id Anthology as well as the Macintosh version of Final Doom. This alternate version of the IWAD is also the one available for purchase from GOG.com. This version adds the missing deathmatch starts to MAP12 and MAP23. Unfortunately, there is no revision change between both versions so it is also called v1.9. It is 18,240,172 bytes in size, contains 2,988 entries, it is dated 1996-11-21 and has the following hashes:

CRC-32 15cd1448

The American PlayStation Network version is 17,417,800 bytes in size, contains 2,984 entries, is based on the most common version described above but with pickup sprites of stimpacks, medikits and berserk packs modified to replace the red cross with a red and white pill, and has the following hashes:

The European PlayStation Network version is 17,421,279 bytes in size, contains 2,984 entries, and is similar to the American variant. However, it is incorrectly marked as a PWAD and the Wolf3D-related patches and sprites have been changed similarly to the BFG Edition. It has the following hashes:

MD5 c2a33c7f597b8a47b334a6812bb4284a
