============================================================================ Advanced engine needed : ZDoom 2.2.0 or later Primary purpose : Single+Coop play / No levels included ============================================================================ Inspired by "Judge Dredd: The Exo-Men" in progs 111/112 of 2000AD... Meet the scourge of law-abiding societies... The Sympathiser! You don't dare ask if this guy is "some sort of bleeding-heart liberal" ... because he *is*! This punk doesn't care how many victims a criminal has murdered, tortured or abused; only that the agressor's rights are held to be more important than those of their victims. He believes that even demons can be rehabilitated; anyway, they had a tough childhood and their mothers probably didn't love them! Although unarmed, in the long term this creep is definitely more dangerous to society than all the terrorists, drug-dealers and armed robbers put together!! Get out your Lawgiver, er SSG, and sentence him to death :) ============================================================================ Title : The Sympathiser Filename : SYMTHISE.WAD Release date : 2008-11-25 Author : Martin Howe Email Address : martinhowe@myprivacy.ca Web Site : http://www.martinsobservationpost.net Other Files By Author : BOMBAY72 ........... play DOOM as a true predator!

Description : An unarmed but HIGHLY annoying NPC for all DOOM variants, the Sympathiser is a pastiche of bearded bleeding-heart liberals; from the instant that he sees or hears any player, he continually whines about the civil rights of demons from Hell!
