On 2005-04-26, Michael C. Shultz scribbled these
curious markings:

You need to get a WAD from somewhere (e.g. a shareware copy of one of
the aforementioned games, or commercial, registered installation media).
In the U.S., you should be able to pick up a copy of DOOM '95 or DOOM2
'95 at your local Wal-Mart for ~ 10 USD (which is what I paid for mine).
Just copy the WAD from the disc and you're ready to go.

Hmph. Blame my (normally superb) memory for that one. My apologies.
