This is a free add-on to alter ID Software's Doom game. What it does is disguises all the Demons in the game as barrels, (and the Spectors as invisible/cloaked barrels). This is a surprisingly fun alteration and the best laugh you'll have had in ages. It is intended to be a temporary alteration that won't clog up your hard disk, so the program will alter doom, run doom and then restore the original monsters when you quit. INSTRUCTIONS Barrel-Doom(TM) is designed to run from floppy disk, so you should unzip BARREL.ZIP onto a floppy disk. To run Barrel-Doom(TM) simply type a:barrel from your doom directory. If for any mad reason you wish to keep the barrels in for more than one game of Doom then press 'Control C' at the pause after quitting doom, then to restore your original demons just run a:barrel at at later date. TECHNICAL COMMENTS Don't worry that the .bat file seems not to take any backups of your old doom.wad graphics, that's because all the graphics required are contained in the zip file. This saves time on graphics-to-gif extraction and speeds up the barrelisation and un-barrelisation process. Barrel-Doom(TM) is designed not to permanently alter your doom setup, but of course you should always have a backup copy of Doom.Wad anyway if you are playing with these things. PKZip can compress Doom.Wad down to about 4Mb. Barrel Doom was created by Elly Kelly <100340.3625@.compuserve.COM>. Hope you enjoy playing Doom, we are working on several other Doom add-ons, so any suggestions, problems or encouragements are always welcome.
