Using The Final DOOM Menus
When you run Final DOOM, you will start in the level you chose in the Episode/Level you
selected (or at the point of the saved game you selected) in the Launcher. You can bring up the
menu at any time by pressing the Escape key. Use the arrow keys, mouse, or joystick to move
the skull cursor up and down. When the skull is adjacent to a desired selection, press the Enter
key, left mouse button, or joystick Fire button to activate that selection.
Many of the Menu options can be activated directly by using a function key, thus bypassing the
menus entirely. To exit the menu, press the Escape key or to return to the previous menu from a
submenu press the Backspace key.
If you want to jump into the action, select this. Final DOOM will ask you to set the difficulty
level. Each difficulty level differs in the toughness of the enemies you'll face (see “The
Difficulty Levels” below).
Goes to a menu of various game settings (see “The Options Menu” below).

Games can be saved or loaded at any time during the gameplay. To save a game, move the
skull cursor to any empty slot (or one you don't mind writing over), and press the Enter key.
This option is only available if you are currently in a game. To load a game, simply select the
appropriate game from the Load Game menu.
QUICKSAVE: Pressing the function key F6 allows you to Save a game without leaving the
action. The first time QUICKSAVE is used in a given game, the standard Save menu
appears. Select a slot. From then on, pressing F6 automatically saves the game to that slot
without interrupting the fun of smackin' baddies around. Pressing F9 loads in the last
QUICKSAVE game after prompting you.
TIP: Save your game and save it often. When you die, you're back to the beginning of the
level, toting that little pistol again. That ain't good, especially after you progress to some of the
tougher levels.

Quit Game enables you to quit from Final DOOM and return to Windows.
The Difficulty Levels
An easy romp through the playground. Not many monsters here. This is good when you're
learning the controls.
