4-PLAYER MODEM DOOM!!!
The world's greatest game played the world's greatest way!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, for the first time EVER, modem gamers can finally experience the
pleasure of 2, 3, and 4-player network DOOM games, and they can do it
ANYTIME from almost ANYWHERE! All you need is a good DOOMin' machine
and a high speed modem.....and this software!
The APCi MultiPlayer Game Server provides true network modem gaming
support via virtually any multi-line BBS! Modem gamers may now use the
APCi MultiPlayer Game Client software to call any host BBS and toast
up to three opponents! Bet you didn't know your rocket launcher could
liquify someone in New York and California at the same time!
Use this client software to call the APCi BBS at (618) 632-7664 and
get ready to kick some network DOOM butt! After that, call your
local multi-line BBS sysops and tell them to get with the program
and get the APCi MultiPlayer Game Server NOW! 1-800-535-APCi!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HERE'S HOW TO PLAY!!!
Move all of these files to your DOOM directory.

* If you have an older version of APCiDOOM, you must delete it before you *
* install the new version! *
* Type "DEL APCI*.*" in your DOOM directory to remove your old version. *

Connecting to the APCi MultiPlayer Gamer Server is very simple.
Follow these easy steps:
1 - You must have a high-speed modem capable of connecting at a
minimum of 14400 baud. While 9600 baud is fast enough for
most two player games, it does not allow for smooth operation
of fast-paced and data-intensive three or more player games.
2 - Configure you computer's memory and other resources as required
by DOOM. Reference your DOOM manual or README files for helpful
information. If necessary, contact id Software's technical support
sevices (or call one of your computer-geek friends).
3 - Run APCiDOOM MultiPlayer Game Client software by typing APCIDOOM
in your DOOM directory. You will need to provide important
configuration information such as your modem's COM port and
hardware port speed the first time it is executed.
4 - Proceed IMMEDIATELY to the HELP menu and read EVERYTHING. Don't
be a geek. The HELP section contains extremely important
information that you MUST know and understand to play multiplayer
modem DOOM. If you don't read it, you'll be frustrated and
confused. Worse yet, WE will be frustrated and confused when you
call and expect us to read it to you. JUST READ IT! Then look
through all of the menus and options.
5 - Use the appropriate modem initilization commands and APCiTERM
to call the host BBS. You will find a list of suggested modem
initilization commands under the APCiLINK setup menu of APCiDOOM.
It is highly recommended that you configure APCiTERM to use a
port speed of 19200 or 38400. Your sysop or one of your computer
geek friends may be able to help you with these settings.
6 - Call the host BBS which has the APCi MultiPlayer Game Server.
Connect to the APCi MultiPlayer Game Server by selecting
the appropriate BBS menu options then PRESSING YOUR SPACE BAR
SEVERAL TIMES IN SUCCESSION to activate the server.
7 - Select DOOM from the APCiTERM pop-up menu. Chat with other players
will then begin. When all players have selected identical game
parameters and press F10, the game will start. Have fun! When
finished, return to APCiTERM and continue your BBS session. Log off
properly. Do NOT merely hang up while connected to the APCi
MultiPlayer Game Server or any online service. It's really rude!
