About Zandronum
Zandronum is a multiplayer oriented port, based off Skulltag, for Doom and Doom II
by id Software. Zandronum brings classic Doom into the 21st century, maintaining
the essence of what has made Doom great for so many years and, at the same time,
adding new features to modernize it, creating a fresh, fun new experience.
Here's why you should kill your time with Zandronum, versus vanilla Doom:
Client/server architecture: play and switch between games with ease
Supports up to 64 players
Wide array of gameplay modes
Competitive: Team DM, Duel, CTF, Possession, LMS, Terminator, Skulltag
Cooperative: Survival, Invasion (or both!)
Modifiers, like Instagib and Buckshot, can be used to spice up any game
Modern and beautiful
Support for large number of ZDoom and GZDoom mods
Choose between GZDoom's OpenGL renderer, or Doom's Software renderer
Useful features like a console, Quake-style key bindings, freelooking, and jumping
Support for many Doom engine based games including Heretic, Hexen, and Strife
Supports modern versions of Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux
In some scenarios, commercial data files are required to run the supported games.
In other cases, it's possibly to automatically use Freedoom as a drop-in replacement.
This package comes bundled with Doomseeker for easy installation and server browsing.
