A bit too silly and unusual. I'd actually give it 1.5/5, but I picked 1.	x
Looks good. It certainly deserves more attention than it ever got.	x

BOOM-TC2  -  BOOM: Shadow of The Zedix  (version 2)
A Total Conversion for Ultimate Doom v1.9
featuring a complete episode (9 maps), new sounds and graphics,
new monsters and new weapons.

This is a 'legalized' version of BOOM-TC.ZIP.
The original version contained an illegal hacked doom.exe;
this version has an equivalent DeHackEd patch, so you can either
patch your own legal copy of doom.exe, or just run it directly
with an appropriate Source Port.

Original author:   Lari Muuriaisniemi (L.mR-SOFTWARE)
                   lari.muuriaisniemi@mbnet.fi
Version 2 Update:  Sparky of KISS Software    kelm@eisa.net.au

Mods made by Sparky of KISS Software:
- converted the illegally supplied doom.exe into an equivalent DeHackEd
  patch (boom-tc2.deh) using DeHackEd v3.1. The author had hidden the
  exe (boom.exe) inside a .lzh archive within the .zip archive. The
  version 1.3 update (11boom13.zip) also contained an illegal doom.exe,
  simply renamed to boom.dat and packed in boomupd.zip - a zip within
  a zip.  No wonder the Archive Maintainer at the Official Doom Archive
  Web Site didn't notice this illegal upload !!!
- removed the modified cheat codes from the new DeHackEd patch.
- deleted the modified episode 2 level names from the DeHackEd patch.
- deleted the duplicate copies of the sounds dswpnup, dsdmpain, dspopain
  and dsmetal.
- fixed 9 of the sounds which had higher and lower sample rates than
  Doom's standard 11,025 samples/sec. 
- combined the three wad files (boom.wad sounds.wad boomupd.wad) into
  a single wad boom-tc2.wad
- deleted the unused, faulty texture BADWAY.
- deleted the unchanged doom sprites for the computer area map (PMAP).
- adjusted the offset for the "HELP" menu graphic (M_RDTHIS). 
- added the missing sprite for the Cyberdemon replacement (CYBRE3).
- the original 3 wad files totalled 6.4MB, the fixes mentioned above
  has decreased the size of boom-tc2.wad to less than 4MB.
- the original distribution contained a whopping 18 files and this
  version has only 4:
    boom-tc2.deh   a patch for Ultimate Doom v1.9 and DeHackEd v3.1
                   (replaces the illegal doom.exe originally supplied).
    boom-tc2.wad   the resources - maps, sounds, graphics, sprites, etc.
    boom-tc2.txt   you're reading it now.
    boom-tc2.hlp   a Windows help file containing the story,
                   screen shots, etc.

INSTALLATION:
------------

'Plain Vanilla' Ultimate Doom:

Note: BOOM-TC2 will NOT work with regular Doom I.  You'll need to
        upgrade to Ultimate Doom v1.9 if you haven't already.  A free
        upgrade patch can be obtained from id Software's web page at
        http://www.idsoftware.com/

To play this with 'Plain Vanilla' Ultimate Doom you'll first need to
  create a replacement doom.exe using DeHackEd v3.1 and boom-tc2.deh.
  For example:   dehacked -reload -load boom-tc2.deh

Secondly, you will also need to add the extra Doom sprites into
  boom-tc2.wad using a wad editor like DeuSF, DeuTex, WinTex or NWT.
  For example,   deusf -as boom-tc2.wad

In summary:
    a) copy the utilities DeHackEd and DeuSF to your Doom directory
       (you can get them from ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/idgames/)
    b) copy boom-tc2.deh and boom-tc2.wad to your Doom directory
    c) create a replacement doom.exe (doomhack.exe):
         dehacked -reload -load boom-tc2.deh
    d) add the extra sprite graphics to boom-tc2.wad:
         deusf -as boom-tc2.wad
    e) to play the game, just run:
         doomhack -file boom-tc2.wad

DO NOT DISTRIBUTE doomhack.exe or the patched boom-tc2.wad because
  they contain data which is copyrighted by id Software.

Doom Source Ports:

A better way is to use a Doom Source Port which can import DeHackEd
  patches and pwads containing sprite data - such as:  Boom, PRboom,
  MBF, SMMU, ZDoom, Legacy, PrjDoom, etc.  Patching is not required and
  the BOOM-TC2 files can be used as-is. For example:

Boom/MBF/SMMU/ZDoom/PrjDoom:  -deh boom-tc2 -file boom-tc2
  PRboom:           -width 640 -height 400 -deh boom-tc2 -file boom-tc2
  Legacy:           -deh boom-tc2.deh -file boom-tc2.wad
