=============================================================== Welcome to the Best of 3-D Shareware Games! Thank you for purchasing this quality product! =============================================================== We hope that you have as much fun using this product as we did making it. Here are a few simple quick start instructions: 1) The directories WAD1 and WAD2 contain a total of 1000 Doom levels for your enjoyment (there are 500 in each directory). They are on the disc this way so you can use WadManager to easily select which .WADs you'd like to play. These levels are for the registered version of Doom which is not included on this CD. They were originally designed to work with Doom versions before 1.666 and may not work with version 1.666 or later. The registered version of Doom is available from: ID Software at 1(800)-IDGAMES We have, however, included the shareware version of Doom 1.2 and the shareware version of Doom 1.666. Remember, the .WAD files will not work with the shareware versions, only with the registered versions. 2) The directory WADS1666 contains all of the .WAD files that are known to work with Doom 2 (version 1.666). There are only two .WADS in here -- remember -- Doom 2 was just released! 3) The directory DOOMWADS contains most of the .WAD files that WAD1 and WAD2 have, but each in their own sub directories with their respective documentation. There may be information or a README in each subdirectory telling you more about that particular .WAD file. Please see the README.TXT file in DOOMWADS for list of sub-directorys and discriptions. 4) The directory DOOMFAQS contains files and information referred to as Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). Read these for tips on difficult sections, cheats, new methods of playing, hints and just about anything you could possibly think of about Doom. Please see the README.TXT file in DOOMFAQ for list of sub- directories and descriptions. =============================================================== ...and now a little about the players... =============================================================== Directory Name File to Run --------- ---- ----------- 1)\DOOM12 Shareware DOOM! v1.2 DOOM.EXE \DOOM1666 Shareware DOOM! v1.666 DOOM.EXE \PATCHES Patches for shareware and registered versions 1.2 and 1.666 of Doom 2)\CORR7 Corridor 7: Alien Invasion CORR7.EXE 3)\KENS_3D Ken's Labyrinth KEN.EXE 4)\MEGATRON MEGATRON MEGATRON.EXE 5)\WADMAN Wad-Manager (use Install) WM.EXE \MENACE Bio-Menace BMENACE1.EXE \BSTONE Blake Stone: Aliens of the Gold BSTONE.BAT \RAMPAGE Terminator Rampage Working Demo RAMDEMO.EXE \WOLF3D Wolfenstien 3D -- the original!

According to legend, no man can be defeated when he has the Spear. Hitler believes himself to be invincible with the power of the Spear as his army of destruction sweeps across Europe. Your mission is to recapture the Spear from an already unbalanced Hitler, with the hope that the loss of his most coveted weapon will push him over the edge! You must infiltrate the heavily guarded Nazi stronghold and time is running out! In your quest to recover the Spear, you will encounter the exciting and hazardous challenges, secret doorways to hidden passages, gruesome mutants, and powerful monster-like ``bosses''. All this in the midst of the massive fire-power of well trained enemy soldiers throughout the castle! See if you have the ``right stuff'' to accomplish the most dangerous mission of the war! This is a complete two-level playable version of Spear of Destiny -- a Wolfenstein 3D Graphic Adventure. Your mission is to make your way safely through each of the levels to find the elevator to the next floor.
