Misc. Author Info : Makes maps for Doom

Description : Ancient Aliens is a megawad featuring 32 colorful,

action-packed maps for Boom compatible ports.

Go on a journey to discover the truth about the

enigmatic origins of human civilization...

I'm not saying it was aliens, but... the truth

is out there.

===========================================================================

Port Differences : ZDoom-based ports and Eternity use MAPINFO for

episode selection and story screens.

Additionally, in Zdoom-based ports and Eternity,

ACS is used to play sound effects occasionally.
This is way more cool than it sounds.
