Biotech is Godzilla is a nine-level episode replacement for Doom II designed for limit removing source ports, created by various members of the Doomer Boards community, led by Glen McColl (glenzinho). It is the 22nd entry in the ongoing Doomer Boards Projects. Work on the project was carried out during March 2020. It was first released on Doomer Boards on March 31, 2020, and uploaded to the idgames archive on April 15 of the same year. The mapset features a forest and nature meets tech theme that was inspired in part by a recent playthrough of Lost Civilization by glenzinho.

Story

Forests of concrete and steel, breathing and flowing forever under the wide eye of the sun, now ruled the works of man. His own eyes watch as hummingbirds swarm their branches and feed from whirring flowers. Long since had a creature like him been to this place, and standing in the midst of this weird marriage of nature and machine, he felt himself an intruder. What happened here, to create this new earth? And what became of those responsible for this ironclad garden of earthly delights?

Before he can finish the thought, the marine's spell is broken by a thundering roar.

Seems not all of man's gifts were of good intention...
