This is not related to RQ or Glorantha
in anyway, which is exactly why I post this, as some people asked what the project DOOM! was that Sandy kept referring to.

Please keep followup out of this list.

This announcement just appeared in the newsgroup comp.binaries.ibm.pc:

    { Since this game has been eagerly awaited, I've decided to go ahead and     post it. There are 49 total parts. I will post 20 today, 20 tomorrow, and     10 on Sunday. See comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action for a list of ftp sites if     you are too impatient. -Doc}

    DOOM is a fast-moving virtual reality game     in which you are plunged into a brutal 3-D     world. To escape alive, you must outfight     legions of grisly fiends and solve DOOM's     lethal puzzles. You play a space marine     equipped with a variety of weapons and     technological artifacts, but in the end it     comes down to who's tougher: you or them.     Note:DOOM portrays graphic violence and     may not be suitable for younger children       386 or better, VGA, 4 MB ram DISK1/1

I guess it's not quite my type of game, but then again my 386/20 2M notebook doesn't really measure up to the specs.
