Has anyone on this newsgroup heard of DoomRL? It's basically a port of Doom over to an AscII graphics system and changed the ruleset to something compatable with similar games in the genre (e.g. Nethack). The webpage is here: http://chaos.magma-net.pl/doom/ Another player told me that it's probaby some joke, but he finds it quite enjoyable - however, he doesn't play the original Doom. It basically includes all the weapons from the original game, and adds a few new ones (combat knife and combat shotgun.) Other than that, it's basically a spin-off.

Most of the posters there are experiened programmers and know enough to be able to detect anything remotly suspicious. If you don't trust some applications, you can right-click on the executable file and select "Run As..." Windows will reduce the privilages of the application and will protect your system files. (Although I haven't seen any normal application capable of running under this mode.) As always, check for viruses using AVG or some other virus scanner - which should prevent viruses from slipping through.
