There was a brief era in the mid-nineties when doom more than anything else a medium to insert a floating head of your least favorite man. This is from that era.

Known Bugs              : none
May Not Run With...     : JDoom v0.81 (requires patching the extra
                          sprites as with doom.exe and doom2.exe).

======================================================================

Play with Regular Doom/Doom2:
a) add the extra sprites to gdoom2.wad using a program such as DeuSF,
   WinTex, NWT, etc.   For example:   deusf -as gdoom2.wad
b) run the game with:  doom -file gdoom2.wad
                    or doom2 -file gdoom2.wad

Play with a Doom Source Port:
A much better option is to use a Doom Source Port that can import
pwads containing sprite graphics; such as: Boom, PrBoom, MBF, SMMU,
PrjDoom, Vavoom, ZDoom, Legacy, Edge, etc.  Patching is not required,
just use the wad as-is.  For example:   boom -file gdoom2

George (A graphics replacement).

George Doom is a replacement for that ugly round in doom.
It is my boss and hopefully he isn't too mad about it.  It is
really funny regardless of who it is! :)
