Review : It's really great. Nothing else, just fun, great
designed levels, lovable and surprising new
creatures and cool high-quality weapons. I don't
care for a few open endings. I'm happy to have
something fun to play with.

Primary purpose : Single+Coop play / Deathmatch

Title : Beyond Doom: The Apocalypse TC (an unfinished TC)
Note by the uploader : This was intended to become a full 32-level
total conversion. It hasn't been completed and
there are still a few bugs, because of that i
added in agreement with Anthony Galica that '(an
unfinished TC)' -part to the Title. He hasn't
worked on this in the last eight years, but it is
much too beautiful and too exciting to be
forgotten. From my testing, i can say, i didn't
notice the in-development stage as long as i
didn't look into bugs.txt. It is very play- and
enjoyable!

[Another note by the uploader: There was another
readme from the development package of the
author, with names of authors, who worked also on
this TC, but whose work apparently didn't came
into this latest version. So i include that
readme just for the curious amoung you within
readme.zip into this /idgames -upload. That makes
sure, that as many people, who worked on this
stuff, are credited in some way.]
Description : Six years later, and a new void has been ripped
out of the earth... They're sending in a scout
team of convicts (one of which happens to be your
friend). Everything seems to go right until they
get back and you go to the bathroom... Screams
are heard, bullets are fired, and when you come
out, there is no evidence of an attack,
everyone's dead with the exception of your friend
and a dying marine... He says your friend was
taken, and now it's up to you to rescue him, and
of course most likely save the world from utter
destruction... again... you hear a familiar growl
and turn to see a not-so-familiar face, and thus
begins your adventure...

story.]
