IntroductionIf you've spent any time hanging around the games Doom and Doom 2, or it's community of followers over the past year or two, then you've most likely heard about STRAIN. For those that haven't, STRAIN is a full 32-level conversion of Doom2...New monsters, weapons, graphics, music, tricks, and some awesome levels...as well as a story which carries through the levels. After more than a year and a half in development utilizing the skills of a myriad of people, STRAIN was finally released publicly on July 3rd 1997, and has been downloaded thousands of times since then. We hope that you enjoy this fantastic world as much as we enjoyed creating it for you.
