Omni Development, Inc. announced today that it has been entrusted
by Id Software to enhance and market DOOM and DOOM II for NEXTSTEP.
DOOM is Id's best-selling, extremely fast, almost sickeningly
realistic three-dimensional multi-player first-person bug-hunt.
DOOM won numerous awards as last year's best game for MS-DOS systems,
and DOOM II is even better, featuring new weapons, new monsters,
and 30 new levels.
Omni's enhanced DOOM for NEXTSTEP improves on the current shareware
NEXTSTEP DOOM player not only in the inclusion of the commercial
levels but also by including sound support, Interceptor support
for fast graphics, a full-screen mode for even faster graphics,
and fixed-priority Mach scheduling for yet faster graphics. DOOM
for NEXTSTEP will still be able to load user-written levels ("wad"
files) for DOS versions of DOOM.
DOOM and DOOM II for NEXTSTEP will be available soon. You can
follow their progress by checking our WWW page --
http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/Doom
DOOM II for MS-DOS is available now, distributed by GT Interactive
Software @ 1-800-362-9400.
The unenhanced, shareware version of DOOM is already available
under NEXTSTEP. It can be downloaded from
ftp://ftp.cs.orst.edu/pub/next/binaries/games/Doom1_2_FAT.compressed
The shareware version is not as fast, doesn't support sound, and
doesn't include the commercial levels.
Id Software develops and markets the best-selling, coolest games
for MS-DOS. Omni Development writes and works on all kind of
software for NEXTSTEP, including Frame's FrameMaker for NS/Intel
and NS/HPPA, OmniImage, OmniWeb, parts of Lighthouse's Concurrence,
Quantrix, and Parasheet, McCaw Cellular's Axys project, and the
custom database software for the William Morris Agency.
