Plus, the rebalanced skill levels help progression feel more natural to the difficulty of the game. The extra life system helps to offset how difficult the game now is.

You can’t just launch the game quickly. Modders can also take the scalpel: the package includes the Unreal Editor used by 3D Realms to create the maps, and the source code is also part of the pack (although archiving the entire 4chan theme is a bit overkill and irrelevant, but whatever…), so if you know the older Epic Games technology, you can finish what the studio couldn’t two decades ago!
