Reviews:

The quality of these graphics is terrible; skies with large areas of a single solid color never look good, and the "lightning bolts" are a laughable MS Paint-looking job that barely even resemble lightning.	x
I've seen more detail in the shit I took last night.	x
This looks like the result of a kindergartener armed with only two crayons and a fading memory of what lightning actually looks like.	x
Were you on LSD when you made this? 0/5	x
The graphics are not that good, but the proof of concept is solid. Replace the graphics and this would be quite good 2/5	x
^As it is, though, it's not worth a download. Good idea, bad execution.	x

May Not Run With...     : Designed for ports that support Zdoom like features such as Vavoom and
Zdoom (obviously :)

thund2: 
Static sound from Ghostbusters TC, long thunder heavily modified Quake
rocket explosion sound

Notes:
 Thunders.wad contains a changing thunderstorm sky that lights up when
 ever there is a "lightning strike". It's simaler to the thunder sky in
 Hexen except there are extra lightning graphics/textures that show
 uo psudo-ramdomly

Thund2.wad replaces the imp sound with a mich longer and louder thunderclap
 plus static. There is also an identical static sound for the teleport
 "puff" that can be used to simulate thunder in more vanella doom ports
 using the old hidden ambient monster trick. Adjust as needed. These sounds
 are suitable for ACS scripting too, of course :)
