The Talosian Incident is a 20-level megawad for Doom II, created by The Black Star Coven, a team led by John Bye (Gestalt666). Released on June 19, 1997, it stood out against other WADs of the era for its strong emphasis on creating moody atmospheres, helped by a predominantly ambient soundtrack in the vein of Doom 64. It was named by Doomworld as one of the ten best mods of 1997.
