ASCII DooM

Has anybody ever tried the ASCII DooM game from AllWindowsSoft?

I'll have to wait till I can use my own computer to try it...

(FWIW, it's not "from" AllWindowsSoft; it's from whoever made it.)

   I've played SMMU in text mode,
http://www.soulsphere.org/projects/smmu/textdoom/
although I seem to recall it doesn't work on Windows XP. (Don't
quote me on that.) It's just straight DOOM that happens to be rendered
in aalib. I don't think SMMU is what you're talking about, but it's
hard to tell.

   I've also played Kornel Kisielewicz's DoomRL, a roguelike game
based on DOOM. It's great. (And of course it's in ASCII.)

   And I've never played "Foom!", described as "the first level of
Doom as a text adventure", but I'll have to give it a try this
weekend. :)

   Anyway, none of these really qualify as ASCII art... although I
think DoomRL has some ASCII art of various monsters on their description
screens.

DON'T LOAD THIS PROGRAM - THE INSTALLATION WILL ADD SPYWARE TO YOUR
WINDOWS SYSTEM.

I found a SpywareQuake variant in the installation "Doom.exe" program.
There are very few anti-virus/anti-spyware apps that can even detect
this variant.  Do yourself a favor and block access to the domain
listed above.
