You must mean <http://doomwiki.org/wiki/ZanZan>.

I've heard of ZanZan before but otherwise know nothing about it so I can
only take guesses. However, since the thing was apparently quite highly
regarded, it is unlikely to have behaved that way for other players.

It is more likely it is incompatible with the engine you are trying to
use it with. The page says it requires an old version of an engine named
ZDoomGL (which the download claims to include; ZDoomGL itself was
abandoned a long time ago.)

Perhaps the "fixed" version ported to GZDoom linked from the page above
might be worth a try? (On the other hand, the comments on its /idgames
page don't suggest the update was very successful...)
