This was one of the first (possibly the first) DooM TC, and has since been adapted to work on DooM II as well. It's widely regarded as the best TC ever, and its level designer was voted number 2 in Doomworld's top 10 WAD designers.
However, I'm unimpressed. Granted, it looks great, capturing the atmosphere of the film well, with locations recognisable straight from it. The sounds are great, and the weapon graphics are lots of fun, particularly replacing the chainsaw with the Aliens armour suit that Ripley uses to fight the Alien queen.
The problem is, it just isn't very exciting. I switched off pretty soon after I switched on - there are too few monsters about, and as soon as you get a decent gun, they go down really quickly any way. It's a pity, because gameplay aside, this TC is great.
