To be honest, I'm both surprised and
unsurprised that this port didn't have a rip
already made.

On one hand, it's motherfucking Doom, but in
the other hand, this is Doom for the 32X,
possibly THE worst sounding game for the
Genesis ever.

It's just some terrible and halfassed MIDI
conversions with bad patch choices. Not to
mention that none of the songs have any 
percussion, it's mostly just bass.

-- BuskinCothurn

Well, here we are, about a year after
this pack was finished. It's been
sitting on the WIP section for even
longer than I thought, so I figured
I'd relog the pack.

With gems2rom, I discovered that the game not
onlyhas unused songs, but also strange
variants; For example, sequences 0C and 0D are
just  "Intermission from Doom"; the former is
just the main instruments (no percussion); the
latter is just bass and percussion.
Additionally, sequence code 11 is "Dark Halls"
with only the bass. For your sake and my
sanity (which I lost while making this fucking
thing), these versions are not covered in the
pack.

I wanted to compile most of the
funniest commentson Foxysen's YT upload
of the soundtrack,but there were so many
gold ones to choose from,
so I went with the best.

"In the first Age, in the first battle,
when the shadows first lengthened,
one stood. Burned by the gastric
juices of his stomach, his liver full
of beans and taco and the intestine
tainted beyond ascension, he chose
the path of perpetual torment.
In his ravenous hatred he found no peace;
and with boiling crap he scoured
the Umbral Kitchens seeking vengeance
against the dark cooks who had wronged him.
He wore the Guy Fieri's T-shirt,
and those who smell the bite
of his farts named him ... the Doom's Clogger."

In the words of Joe from Game Sack,
this sounds like the 32X is 
about to run out of gas and die,
or rather the 32X just can't stop farting.

One more comment for the txt, this one from
BoxCubed:

"Still better than Doom for PC-98."

That's basically a Medal of Dishonor.

Yeah, I know, I spent more time on this txt
file, but at the same time, it's literally a
shitty soundtrack that's full of doodoo
diarrhea bullshit.
