===================================================================================================
I have always really enjoyed DOOM conversions for all of the Quake games, and these are some of the
best. Indeed, the author has recreated the entire Ultimate DOOM game in exhaustive detail ... this
unofficial re-packaging is the first time that all four of his partial conversions have been presented
as a unified whole, and has been compiled without the authorization of the original author [pardon my
enthusiasm]. The emphasis is on SINGLE PLAYER use, but the author has included the .map files he used
and interested parties are invited by Mr Delaney to edit and compile them for multiplayer use.
I decided to make this archive with all four of the episodes in one binary block for one main
reason: Macintosh users could not previously use "Shores of Hell" and "They Flesh Consumed" because
they were issued in .exe format, which is not readable by Mac. All I did was to split the .exe's open
with MacZip, and now they are perfectly useable with MacQuake2 like any other cross-platform PAK mod.
Then I added the other two episodes [KneeDeepFix and Inferno] so that players can get them all in one
shot. Now you can play the entire original commercial release of DOOM using the Quake2 technology, and
it rocks the world, IMHO.
==================================================================================================
HOW TO USE: Real easy ... the episodes have each been extracted into it's own game folder inside of
it's master directory. Simply place the folder inside of each of the episode master folders into your
main Quake2 directory, and start the game using the option key / command line dialogue box.
For KneeDeep, place the "DOOM" folder into your Q2 folder, start Quake2, press the "option" key and
into the dialogue box type "+set game doom +map doom" -- the game will start of the first level.
For Shores of Hell, remove the "SOH" folder from the main Shores .. directory, and place it in your
Q2 folder, start Quake2, press the option key and type "+set game soh +map e2m1" to start the game.
For Inferno, remove the "Inferno "folder from the Inferno main directory and place it in your Q2
folder. Start Quake2, press the option key and type "+set game inferno +map e3m1" to begin.
For They Flesh Consumed, remove the TFC folder form the Thy Flesh ... folder and place it in the Q2
folder. Start Quake2, press the "option" key and type "+set game tfc +map e4m1" and rock on.

Mac users who may experience problems getting the games to work as intended should not hesitate to
email me for further help at snyland@earthlink.net , but please keep in mind that I am NOT the creator
of these addon sets and all feedback should be directed to the original author, Tom Delaney.
He is the MASTER :-]-~ I am but one of his evil servants. Visit his website for more information
