=========================================================================== Review : Comic Furries. Weird and funny! :) =========================================================================== Advanced engine needed : ZDoom (The older version works also with vanilla) Primary purpose : Single player =========================================================================== Title : A Furry Tale *and* A Furry Tale: Retold Filename : furry1.wad, furry1.deh (older version) --> A Furry Tale furry1b.wad (newer version) --> A Furry Tale: Retold Release date : 10/25/2001 MM/DD/YYYY (Timestamp of the older version) 10/19/2004 MM/DD/YYYY (Timestamp of the newer version) Author : Mouse, a.k.a.

Author Info : Former member of the zdoom forums communitiy. Also contributor to FreeDooM. Description : You are a furry in a world of furries. A string of bad luck leaves you abandoned on an island. All is not right here, explore and discover the darkness hovering over the island. Features: Functional Shops and random battles. The newer version, furry1b.wad, connects the level areas in a hub based world. Explore and have fun. [Please make sure, to read \10_25_2001_furry1\furry1.txt and \10_19_2004_furry1b\equipment.txt to get more playing information.] Note by the uploader : The older version, stored in this package in the sub-folder \10_25_2001_furry1, was originally released in the files furry1.rar and furry1.r00, alternatively in furry1a.zip furry1b.zip. It works with ZDoom 1.22 (use FURRY1.BAT). It has been reported, that it doesn't work with ZDoom 1.23. I noticed no problems, when i tested it with Zdoom 2.0.98 and GZDooM 1.0.04. This older version can be played with plain vanilla DooMII. You just have to use Deusf to append missing flats and sprites, and Dehacked, to apply the deh-patch to the doom2.exe. I tested the newer version (in \10_19_2004_furry1b) also with Zdoom 2.0.98 and GZDooM 1.0.04 (The most recent versions at the time of this upload) and noticed no problems. So i think, this will work also with future versions. This version was originally published without textfile in the cab file furry1b.cab.
