Anonymous	hey it's a good old classic compilation wad. 3.9 out of 5	x
Anonymous	hmm...	x
Anonymous	2 stars for the effort. I saw a few familiar maps.	x
Anonymous	This is a megawad that replaces all the Doom levels - with lots of awful new sounds, mostly, and some awful new graphics. As the author points out, the actual levels are all nicked from elsewhere, but with the new sounds and graphics crowbarred in. I recognised a few of the maps (e.g. E3M9 is id=294, which I played yesterday); you'd be much better off just going through the levels/doom directory, playing the four and five-star maps than bothering with this.	x
Anonymous	To the person that rated this a 0/5 ... You probably do not	x
Anonymous	not too bad, but the game crashed on level 2. Just as I hit the switch to end the level, it crashed. Another thing is why do you have Imperial Scout droids from Star Wars Empire Strikes Back as the Cacodemon? What about maybe using the dropship from Aliens?	x
Anonymous	Slight correction: Known bugs: all of them. Missaligned, misspegged and totally missused textures, non hurting slime, one episode name only despite of 27 maps, part of maps only consist of secret sectors, suddenly I found me in a map apparently designed for deathmatch only, as there are no items but a few weapons and some decorations, etc. The list has no end. It looks like a bunch of ripped resources just thrown together regardles if they really fit. Get hands off this one! Grab atcud19.zip instead! 0/5	x

Well, I assume after the effort the original people put into this, I guess
they'd say this:

Authors may NOT use these levels as a base to build additional levels.

You MAY distribute this, as long as:

1) You DONT!!! charge any fee of any kind whatsoever 
(e.g Hiring, renting, leasing, selling etc) Its FREE!!!

2) You DONT!!! annoy iD Software with any bugs about it!!!
They DONT support this product, and thusly will NOT give you 
any help with it.

3) You MUST!!! put this .TXT file with this .WAD if you distribute it on
Disks, CDs, BBS etc

********************************

Where to get this .WAD

FTP:

ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/   
and anywhere else that decides to mirror cdrom.com

It'll probably be in the Newstuff dir, so look there. Otherwise, just hunt
it down!

********************************

How to install

OK. In this .ZIP file is

aliens-x.wad
aliens-x.txt (this file!)
deusf.exe

You'll need a decent copy of PKUNZIP to unzip this file, and then get
the above mentioned ones. If you want, unzip it into c:\games\doom or
wherever your Doom is. Try and put a copy of deusf.exe in c:\dos or
somewhere on your search path. Then use Deusf like this:

deusf -append aliens-x.wad

And that'll make it workable for Doom. Then start Doom like so:

doom -file aliens-x.wad <<<other params>>>

Ok I think thats all ive got to say.....other than

1) Enjoy!
and
2) Au Reservoir!!! ;) (Shameless plug!)
