Description:	Well here's the story. (Who cares anyway ?!) Once upon a time four UAC-Marines tried to save the human race by fighting the evil forces of hell. Unfortunately they killed themselves in an ultimate deathmatch, so Earth is doomed. But there is still a chance to survive the attack of Evil. John Rambo himself and his three brothers have agreed to save the day. This Sprite-Patch replaces the four Marines with Rambo-look-alikes, wearing a headband (Player-Color) and sunglasses.
Credits:	- ID-Software (as usual) for the two most ass-kicking games of the entire planet! - My favourite deathmatch targets: General Custer Commander K Tomcat - To all Doomers over the world. (You know who you are !)
Base:	My imagination and "some" ID-Sprites.
Build time:	About three or four "long" nights !
Editor(s) used:	DEUTEX, DEUSF, COREL-DRAW-PHOTOPAINT
Bugs:	None. (Deathmatch-tested with DOOM2.WAD)

Doomkid	This Rambo skin is still seen in skinpacks to this day, so your hours of effort were not wasted, not by a long shot. Most GFX edits from this era look like crap, this one is quite nice.	x
Anonymous	good	x
Anonymous	If only it turned the Doom marines into topless women. Pretty good anyway.	x
Anonymous	I love this Rambo skin.	x
Anonymous	Turns the Doom marines into topless men. It's competently done, reminiscent of Ikari Warriors or Commando, Metal Slug, Contra etc. From certain angles the topless man looks overweight, but overall it's better than I expected it to be.	x

* Copyright / Permissions *

Forget it man, enjoy it or not. The rest is up to you...  
It'd sure be nice to include this .TXT file everytime you
copy the WAD. Perhaps my name will be known someplace, someday ... (seufz!)

* Where to get this WAD *

Since I (really!) don't have a modem it should be very difficult to release 
this stuff !!! I know that this is crazy, but I'm going to send some copies
of this to some addresses that I found on a DOOM-Tool CD I just bought. I 
hope that the guys who receive my letter will help me to spread this WAD all
over the entire planet. This might sound unbelievable, but I don't know any-
one who has a modem and Internet access. So what should I do ??? I spend 
hours and hours of work for this shit AND I WANT THIS STUFF TO BE PLAYED
ALL OVER THE WORLD ! IT'S WORTH TO PLAY IT ! GOT IT ?! GOOD !!!

* How to use this WAD *

Well, for those who don't know a thing about DEUSF:
You can't use RAMBO.WAD like other PWADS, because ID-Software didn't want
fools like us to mess around with their sprites so easily. So if you want to 
replace a sprite of DOOM2.WAD you will have to append "all" DOOM2 sprites to 
the new .WAD file in order to use it. DEUSF does this for you! So this is it:

1st.  Copy all files of this .ZIP into your DOOM2 directory.
    2nd.  Type the following command at the DOS-Prompt:
         
            DEUSF -SPRITES -APPEND RAMBO.WAD

3rd.  Wait for DEUSF to append the missing sprites (might take some time!)
    4th.  Use a DOOM-Shell like DCC or DOOMIT to add RAMBO.WAD like a
          normal PWAD when playing a multiplayer game of DOOM2.
    5th.  Have fun !!!

NOTE: After appending the missing sprites RAMBO.WAD takes more
          than 4 MB disk-space. Be sure to have enough space left on
          your hard-disk !!! There is no other (less space-wasting)
          way to use this .WAD - Sorry !

* Additional Stuff *

I thought it'd be very funny to replace the UAC-Marines with some other
heroes, till I realized how much time it would take (That was when I had
already done half of the work !). But after all I'm quite pleased with
the result and hope that you enjoy it as much as my FMDT's (Favourite-
Moving-Deathmatch-Targets) did. Imagine your friend is looking out for 
you and John Rambo runs up to him and tears him apart with a shotgun-
blast. Big Surprise! (He, He !!!).
It might be a little more difficult to identify the colors of your 
opponents (Who cares - except playin' a two on two deathmatch !) and
due to the bright skin color you might get seen a bit earlier when 
hiding in a dark sector ("Megaheroes don't hide at all !" - C.C. -)

So I don't have a modem, but if ya like this stuff and want to contact
me for some reason (Comments - Tips - Homaging - or whatever) here is
the right address to reach the Captain himself:
    
     Captain Chaos
     P.O. Box 1313
     37106 Duderstadt
     Germany

I don't think that anyone will contact me at all, but it 'd be cool !
(By the way I never thought anyone would read this shit this far !!!)
That's all for now, but be sure this ain't the last you heard of me 
(Remeber I want to get famous !! Ha!). Oh, Yes: Don't complain about
my English!! (At least I tried to be cool.)

Keep on DOOMing !
                                                      -Captain Chaos-

P.S.: Special greetings must go to Dave Biggs whose Chook-WAD is
      some of the coolest stuff around. Now I know what you've been
      through Dave !!
                               BYE !!!
