-
- Yes, Substation is remarkably good and that's becuse of the sound I think.
-

-
- Both. :-)
- IMHO Substation have _much_ better sound and it's the sound that makes Substation.
- Running had no stereo or distance effects, but there were an option for stereo, so
- it might get it later. I wouldn't say taht the sond is crap though.

-
- :-) The drawing in Running had several problems as well. On the whole, it didn't
- look as good as Bad Mood and had no light effects to make flashinglight or different
- light levels in different areas. I think this makes alot of the atmosphere in Doom
- there you can enter a dark room and see some flashing light in the distance etc.

-
- It was _way_ better than of Lasers and Men and _much_ faster. It's actually
- very playble. Almost as fast as Substation. There is differnet weapons, but
- the two I tried looked and sounded the same. I don't know what you mean with
- angled walls, but they looked okey to me.

-
- That's the whole idea with Bad Mood (atleast for me) to be able to make your
- own levels and come up with some new features. I have heard that Duke Nukeham
- is supposed to be ace and it's very similar to Doom with some modifications.
- I think the graphics can make very much for the game.
