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...
                         [Read origstory.txt for the complete background
                         story.]
