Description : Action Doom is meant to try and bring back the run and gun
feeling from the old 2D shooters like Contra and Metal Slug.
In the tradition of such games there are no bullet weapons,
only projectiles. And just like Contra every enemy and
subsequently you, all have but one hit point, aside from
bosses and mini bosses.
To make the game feel more 2D and less frustrating, you will
never be attacked from behind, and the level is entirely
linnear.
Story (From the Manual): The year is 2174 and the Union Aerospace Corporation is in
over its head. On a remote island in the Gulf of Mexico,
the United States Goverment funded the construction of the
top secret UAC Site 4 Labs. They were to be in charge of
the work the government was unwilling to show the public.
Originally, the base was constructed to investigate extra
terrestrial lifeforms buried deep beneath the surface of
the earth. Recently however, scientists and army officials
together have begun teleportation experiments... into other
dimentions. Using this newfound portal technology, the
United States Government has created a gateway into Hell
itself.
As if things couldn't get more convoluted, the story doesn't
end there. Now, never content to just sit idle, scientists
at UAC Site 4 have begun genetically altering demons brought
back from hell, with the DNA from the Aliens found at the
crash site.
It has been a week since any contact has been made with
Site 4, and the government has only one option left, the men
and women of the most elite government task force known as
I.M.P.S.E. It's up to you to discover what happened to the
UAC Installation.

===============================================================
* Construction *
Base : Maps : From Scratch
GFX : Entirely Original, aside from the few graphics and
textures mentioned above.
Sounds: Misc locations or scratch
Music : Julian, Misc authors
Editor(s) used : Wintex, Doom Builder, Paint Shop Pro 6, Soundforge 4.5,
Photoshop 7, WadAuthor, XWE
Build time : Started Around September 2003, but the original "subject" had
been started years ago. It was a simple patch that had
you fire projectiles from the doom pistol while everything
died in one hit.
Fixes : None
Known Bugs : Due to extensive Dehacked work, I have encountered...
When you pick up the clipboards, you can never select them
again. In order to avoid doom autoselecting them in battle
I gave them 0 ammo, so it only allows you to pick them up
but never select back to them.
Occasionally, the shots fired by the endboss will hit and not
dissappear. This shouldn't interfere with gameplay at all.
Any other problems are probably your fault for using God mode.
