About

This is a nine-level WAD file with new graphics, music, and sound FX. The levels are very detailed, and are designed to mimic the "style" of the original shareware Doom. This is an attempt at bringing back the "classic", realistic look of the Doom 1 levels. The story is the same as Doom 1 - Knee Deep in the Dead. You must fight your way through the Phobos moon base to the anomaly that monsters are pouring through. Check out the additional notes at the end of this file for more level info.
