BUUUUURRRRRRP!
The Dopefish (or his cousin, the Burpfish) have been spotted in one of
the Commander Keen games (the first appearance) , Duke Nukem 3D and
Quake... there have been coffee mugs, shirts and even stuffed
Dopefishies made by the fanatics at Apogee.

(sp?) Man, I haven't played that for at /least/ eight months. I came to college with a new Pentium, but that game stayed at home with the 386s. -Andrew

It's only a texture on a wall... in the registered version of Quack, in
E2M3 it's a secret. Ask in one of the Quack newsgroups if you're really
interested.
Quake's fun, but it got old...

Well done Aardvarko! (And it seems well done to me for making a
recognisable ascii dopefish!)
It`s in a few other apogee games too... The only one that comes to mind
right now is Wacky Wheels, a Mario Kart style racer!
The picture I based my ascii on was the one from Quake, which I nabbed
using my Quake level editor... then I scaled it up a lot and asciified it!
I`m glad you recognised my dopefish... :)
Bye,

|The Dopefish can be found in Quake? That might almost make

E2M3: Crypt of Decay
In the main area with the tower with bridges extending out of it, put
flymode on (FLY in console) and go up to the sky using the D key (c goes
down again). There is a tunnel almost at the top, go through here and jump
into the slime. You will enter the 'Well of wishes' (mentioned if you shoot
the button in the nightmare mode tunnel). In the well is the holy dopefish!

It is indeed a green dopefish, but this is the one from Quake! :)
And yes that is how you spell Captain Keen!
I used to be stuck with classic games until I upgraded my RAM. <g>
