WolfenDOOM (Doom)

WolfenDOOM is a series of Doom mods which use the graphics from Wolfenstein 3D to recreate the complete Wolfenstein game using the Doom engine. The author, Laz Rojas, has also gone beyond the original Wolfenstein levels by creating some brand new scenarios.

WolfenDOOM includes support for the Apple Macintosh version of Doom in addition to the more common PC version.

Trivia

 * The Original Missions in its latest version claims it is based on Boom 2.02. This is however hard to verify: Boom 2.02 was released on October 22, 1998. The Original Missions's is from July 26, but the executable became available in December, after the release of Boom 2.02. This would not explain why the executables from Spear of Destiny and The Nocturnal Missions were released after Boom 2.02, but are Boom 2.01 based.
 * Astrostein 2 includes a custom PLAYPAL and COLORMAP lump, the only entry of the series to do so.
