Description:	Give Doom the look and sound of Windows 95. Includes that inane Canyon midi, startup and shutdown screens and sounds, and several parody images - press F1 for Help, and Pause for a special error message ;) This wad is for Doom, Ultimate Doom, and Doom II but contains no levels - checkout the blue rivets everywhere on E1M1 or MAP01. Note to Wad Authors out there: WinDoom was originally going to be a Partial Conversion with surreal levels inside your computer, but it's gathered enough dust now for me to realize that it's not going to happen. So I stripped out the textures and incomplete map and released it in the form you now see it. Feel free to use WinDoom.wad as a base to finish this dream :)
Credits:	Microsoft Corporation for driving me insane to the point where I'm too scared to update my operating system ..."better the devil you know" ;)
Base:	Most of the graphics, sounds and music are from the Windows95 operating system by Microsoft Corporation. Several Windows95 parody images by unknown authors, obtained from the Internet over a period of years.
Build time:	about 4 hours (?)
Editor(s) used:	WinTex, DeuTex, PaintShop Pro, MicroAngelo, CoolEdit, Midi2Mus
Bugs:	I never got around to fixing the Win95 clouds.bmp so that it tiles properly as a sky texture :(

Anonymous	Play this with MARSWAR and it will be even more surreal.	x
Anonymous	LOL "where the hell do you wanna go today?" that made me laugh 5/5	x
Anonymous	It was sort of a good idea, but did you Really have to use the same midi over and over again? =	x
Anonymous	A disappointment. Replaces the title screens and some sound effects, plus the sky and the floor textures. It's underwhelming. It reminded me of "Lego Doom", which is much better.	x
Anonymous	lol funny but not really good	x

Archive Maintainer      : This wad contains graphics, music and
                          sounds, but it probably belongs more in the
                          /graphics directory than /combos.
                          There currently exists a windoom.exe source
                          port, but there are no windoom*.* files in
                          the Doom Archive.
Update to               : Not applicable
Advanced engine needed  : No
Primary purpose         : No levels included

Note to Wad Authors out there: WinDoom was
                          originally going to be a Partial Conversion
                          with surreal levels inside your computer,
                          but it's gathered enough dust now for me to
                          realize that it's not going to happen. So I
                          stripped out the textures and incomplete map
                          and released it in the form you now see it.
                          Feel free to use WinDoom.wad as a base to
