About:
Vavoom is a source port based on sources of Doom, Heretic, Hexen and a little bit from Quake. Supported platforms are DOS, Windows and Linux.

Differences from original game:

• Polygonal engine with colored lighting, with software mode, OpenGL and Direct3D support, and any resolutions up to 1600x1200
• Translucency. Some things are translucent, also spectres' partial invisibility is replaced with 10% translucency, so they are really hard to see now
• Complete support for freelook (look up & down) in all games
• A powerful language to describe game logic, Vavoom C - now you can forget about DeHackEd and DDF!
• 100% client/server architecture with in-game joining
