Here is a handy little Applescript Launcher to select and play different wads in Calum Robinson's Doom Legacy.
Contains both the final versions of Doom Legacy for OSX (1.40 & 1.43-beta).

Version 1.40 has the top-notch graphics, but no background music support. 1.43 has the music support, but a few slight bugs every now and then and less than complete graphic implementation (though still light-years ahead of original Doom). Sometimes you feel like Retro Midi-Tunes and sometimes you want the Best Graphics!

The Read Me in this has a LOT of important info - worth taking a few minutes to read about how to adjust settings and such (1.40 can fail to launch if not configured right to begin-with).

This does not fix any of the original problems with Doom Legacy (Mouse pointer sometimes still shows up, Still cannot load a save from one version in the other, etc), but should make this great freeware app a lot easier to use.

Compatibility
Architecture: PPC

Tested on:
iMac G3 400Mhz,
Digital Audio G4 Dual 533MHz,
MDD G4 Dual 1.42Ghz

(All running OSX 10.4.11)

P.S. Just updated with ZenNode on 3 of the 4 wads. They needed it (lots of broken walls/missing textures). The only one that couldn't be 'Zenned' was Ultimate Doom, or you loose the "They Flesh Consumed" chapter. The other 3 look much more solid now.
