Does anybody remember the classic game Hocus Pocus? It was an old side-scrolling platform game made by Apogee in 1994. What would happen if Hocus Pocus was an FPS like Doom, rather than a sidescroller? Hocusdoom is a Total Conversion for Doom 2 that attempts to bring Hocus into the third dimension in a dazzling new adventure. It requires the latest stable version of GzDoom and Doom 2. It has the same features as the original Hocus Pocus. You complete maps by collecting all available crystals. However, you can also find red crystals that let you warp to secret maps at the end of the level. You are awarded points for finding treasure, killing enemies, and completing each map within a time limit. At the end of every episode your highest score will be recorded.
