- Version 1.2 of DOOM is getting ready to be released. A patch will
- be available for those with 1.1 -- this goes for the registered version also.
-
- Everyone that registered DOOM will receive, in the mail, a patch for
- 1.2 from id as a way of saying *THANKS* and *SORRY* for the late shipments!
-
- Version 1.2 will have:
-
- o Serial-link and modem support for two player games (yay!)
- o Directed network packets -- no more broadcast packets (yay!)
- o FULL PAS-16 support (yay!)
- o A new "NIGHTMARE difficulty" in which: (TOO EASY?! hahaha...)
- + All missile weapons fire twice as fast
- + Pink demons move twice as fast
- + Both types of former humans shoot 3 times as often
- + Monsters randomly teleport in to the level, infinitely,
- making over 100% ratios possible!
- o DOOMDATA directory requirement has been removed (yay!)
- o Mouse and joystick control in the menus
- o Better joystick calibration
- o Perfect gameplay under Windows (yippy. what a great OS!) :)
-
- VERY soon after this patch has been released, expect v5.5
- of the "Official" DOOM FAQ! Complete secret descriptions, more technical
- help, NEVER BEFORE SEEN DOOM tips and tricks, smaller size (by Pop. Demand),
- fixed grammar/minor problems, and MUCH, MUCH MORE!
