Return to Hadron

From DoomWiki.org

Return to Hadron is a series of three episode replacements for Doom created by Matt Powell (cannonball) for limit removing source ports. The first episode was released in 2015 and received a Cacoward that year. Powell released the second episode in late 2016, which was a runner-up at the 2017 Cacowards. Episode 3 was released in 2020 and was a runner-up at the Cacowards that year.

Each episode takes place at a futuristic version of the CERN Large Hadron Collider. To some extent, these maps are based on Powell's earlier megawad called ConC.E.R.Ned.[1]
