https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/v-z/zanzan_g When I look back, I think of how source ports in the late 1990's early 2000's were evolving and wads began to need these source ports due to their detail, Some wads I've gone over have even brought these source ports to their knees with the demand on them, Rarely have I seen any old wad given a source port treatment like ZanZan.

ZanZan TC was originally released by ACE Team lead by Edmundo Bordeu and Peter Tomaelli in 2000 and was honored as one of the top 100 wads of all time for that year. A revision for GZDoom was made by Pawel Zarczynski (NMN) and released on September 8th 2006. To preface, ZanZan is unlike any other TC out there in the classic era with it opening with the death of a monster and us fleeing. The role we take on is ZanZan a immortal on a quest of vengence.

The style of this tc? It also reminds me of Quake, and Hexen II's art and polygons, and its.. wow so unique I never thought at the time this wad a doom tc as it reminded me a lot of Chosen, another tc that uses unique art style to its name, difficulty is just ruthless with enemies being very tanky at first and our attacks take patience to hit since they windup, TC is short with only 3 maps but its something that just leaves a impression on me about how it plays.
