Let's see.
First, there are more then four new enemies. Chaingunner, Skeleton,
Fatso, Archvile, Pain, Baby Spider, Baby Baron, and two others that I won't
spoil.
Yet another pirate idiot who confuses QUAKE with DOOM II. QUAKE is the
next game that will make DOOM II look like PONG. DOOM II is like SPEAR
OF DESTINY (a wolf 3d game that came out about a year after Wolf 3d was
released shareware). Quake is not out yet, nor will it be for a while.
Anyway, that's the facts. If your going to write a review of a pirated
copy, at least be generous and get your facts straight. I guess if I
gave you a million dollar bills you'd bitch because it was all ones.
