    Seems like you didn’t install The Sky May Be properly, it breaks if you try to play it in anything that isn’t DOSBOX. In the intended version Zombiemen and Shotgunners are supposed to turn into Pinkies when killed, Imps are supposed to shoot BFG balls, and Plasma Rifles are supposed to shoot an excruciatingly short range, useless tiny projectile that can get you stuck in corners and kill you. Along with a few other tweaks that I can’t remember right now…
    You also misspelled Slige!

      I had issues getting TSMB to work initially. It didn't come as a WAD but as an application; I had to go hunting to find a fix. In the end I used a fixed version of the WAD, it was the only way I could get it to work!

      @@czarnakoza9697 Completely changes what all the enemies do. From what I can remember, imps shoot BFG blasts, some enemies will spawn other enemies instead of weapons when they die, it makes one of the imps an unkillable "god" that can walk through walls, one of the guns (I think BFG) is turned into a "blessing gun" that increases enemy health, rockets cause splash damage on every frame so you get continuously repelled and damaged by them. There's a lot more but I'd have to look it up.

      This isn't about being accepting of bad quality, it's about opposing any type of censorship. If something truly sucks - it will die in obscurity anyway, but when you introduce protocols to actually ban the stuff you find "bad", it just opens up the road to eventual political bans, like the "Thatcher's Techbase" ban that happened recently for "Doom 1 + 2" remaster.

    You didn't mention Mr Smiling head safari, lets enumerate this game crimes.
    A little history. somewhere right around when Doom 2 released, a game called Doom 3 , mr smiley head safari came out, a mod for DOOM 1, that... pretty much stole a lot...
    Stole music, by picking midis from websites , it has star wars themes, The exorcist, a beverly hills cop.
    Stole levels, many of wich would later appear in the maximum doom collection , filled them with extra enemies with no rhyme or reason and called it a day.
    Stole Levels from DOOm,. yeah, 2 or 3 levels from OG doom are in here , filled with more enemies for no reason
    STOLE DOOM WAD. this was a commercial release, that came with a modified Doom wa instead of a custom wad or pk3 to work with the OG WAD. To the point this game release was forbidden for some time until another version With a proper custom wad to work with the original was made
    I played it as a kid. I just hjad Doom 1, 2 and 3 ... in 96. And interesting change in art direction for this third part where your BFG is a chicken that shoots Eggs.
    Due to the ridiculous ammount of enemies, This mod was extremely hard, and considering this was DOOM 1, most of the stages were mowing down hordes with the regular shotgun, because most levels had not a lot of missiles and not a lot of plasma.
    Its random nonsense all over the place, has Mortal Kombat, beavis and butthead and when you die you get " game over man" from Aliens.
    Barney the dinosaur is the pinkies. A blue Ranger throwing beer bottles, And all the weapons are remade in paint, some are now different weapons.
