A screenshot from Mars War.

Mars War is a 32 level Megawad for Doom 2, created by Nathan Lineback.

Mars War started off as an old wad on The Library of Trantor BBS, which eventually stopped operating. This wad was updated and completed after the author's multiple dealings with Microsoft products.

The story starts off with the player, a lone martian terraformer, lost in the middle of nowhere. A Terraforming project has been lead by the United Organizations of Earth. The organization has threatened to take over. The recent events have prompted an invasion from Earth, but something went wrong with their ships, capable of "space-warp". Those ships were built by a company with the initials "MS".

The megawad is anti Microsoft, the biggest clue to this being the final level, where the Icon of Sin is replaced with an image of Bill Gates as a Borg. The starting room of the level is also in the shape of the Internet Explorer logo. The god mode face is replaced with that of the Tux, the mascot for the Linux Operating system.
