Altars feature frequently in Greek legend, for heroes were always making sacrifices to the gods, so it is not surprising to find an altar among the stars. But this altar is a special one, for it was used by the gods themselves to swear a vow of allegiance before their fight against the Titans, according to Eratosthenes and Manilius. That clash, known as the Titanomachy, was one of the most significant events in Greek myth.

FastDoom is a source port created by Víctor Nieto (Viti95). Its goal is to improve the performance of the vanilla Doom engine on lower end computer systems, in particular the 386 and 486 class of processors. It does so by removing features deemed unnecessary, reducing rendering complexity and general engine optimization.
