Icarus: Alien Vanguard

Icarus: Alien Vanguard is a 32-level megawad released in 1996 by TeamTNT. When TNT: Evilution, originally intended to be a freeware release, was picked up for publishing by id Software (in what would become Final Doom,) Icarus was developed to take its place. The central theme revolves around the exploration cruiser, Icarus, and takes the player through various planets, portions of the ship, and deadly simulation programs.

The soundtrack team for this megawad was known as MusIcarus and comprised of the following members: Brian Kidby (coordinator,) Jeremy Doyle, Jonathan El-Bizri, Charles Li, David Shaw, and Tom Mustaine.
