THE MEGAHIT GAME THAT SET THE WORLD AFIRE... NOW A PART OF SONIC MANIA!
Stroll through the lucious scenery of green hills and mow down hordes of bloodthristy hell-spawn all in one package. This is it! The televisions of Studiopolis provide a gateway into the heart pounding story of one space marine's quest to rid the world of hell's worst nightmares. Take control of 'Doomguy' to fight your way through and save humanity from certain evisceration. Oh, and you can play Sonic Mania too. Comes bundled with DOOM's iconic first episode "KNEE-DEEP IN THE DEAD".
Compatible with DOOM, DOOM II, THE ULTIMATE DOOM, FINAL DOOM, CHEX QUEST, and user content based on all of the preceding titles.
INSTALLATION
As the installation floppies state, playing the "DOOM in Sonic Mania" mod is as simple as extracting the provided .ZIP file and selecting the mod from the Sonic Mania Mod Loader. Due to the extent of the modifications, you should run the mod by itself for ensured stability. It may be compatible with other Mania mods, but that's not a guarantee as some changes may overlap and cause conflicts.
Your favorite DOOM user content goes into the "wads" folder in the mod's root. Included in this package is a custom, Sonic player WAD for you to play as a bonus! Please note that, as with vanilla DOOM, user content will not work with the provided shareware copy of the game. You must use a registered copy of the game. Them's the rules.
