About

Doom2D:Rembo is a Linux port of Doom2D game, free DOS two-dimensional arcade created by Russian game company "Prikol Software" in early 1996 being inspired by original DOOM game by id Software.

Authors

Original Doom2D authors were Aleksey Volynskov, Vladimir Kalinin and Eugeniy Kovtunov. They called themselves as Prikol Software company. Aleksey Volynskov worked under game engine. Vladimir Kalinin created unique sounds. Eugeniy Kovtunov helped them both with graphics. Most of game levels were designed by Vladimir Kalinin, other ones is Aleksey Volynskov's.

Over some time boys dropped Doom2D developing. Soon Aleksey Volynskov opened source code and shared it at Gaijin Entertainment site. Some remakes were designed and gathered at Doom2D forum.

In summer 2011 ARembo@gmail.com decided to port Doom2D to Linux and started work under Doom2D:Rembo project at code.google.com. Andriy Shinkarchuck adriano32.gnu@gmail.com helped him with documentation and some other things.
