The Adventures of MassMouth



Massmouth is a character in series of games by Mike "Cyb" Watson.

Massmouth is an alien from the planet Zeeble (a zeebloid). He has a small, green body with a large mouth. An antenna containing a single eye protrudes from his body. He also has two arms and legs. Massmouth resembles the Yorps of the Commander Keen series.

Massmouth's preferred weapon is his ray-gun, a weapon which shoots green bolts.

The design of Massmouth comes from a Quake 2 player model created by Stephen "Neuralstasis" Monteith.

Massmouth is an employee of The Worm, a rich alien with his own personal moon. The Worm employs Massmouth to bring him various valuable items. Massmouth is very well-paid and has his own personal room.

In Massmouth 2, Massmouth's enemy is John Romero, who abducts The Worm and harasses Massmouth along the way. His sidekick is Linguica. During the game Massmouth makes friends with a Shock Trooper known simply as Trooper.

Games
Massmouth stars in the following games:
 * The Adventures of Massmouth: 10 Maps. MassMouth was released on February 23, 2000. This does not run with the latest versions of ZDoom, so the older version 1.22 is needed to play it. On 2003, an updated version was released titled The Adventures of Massmouth Do Over!, fixing bugs and also adding several extra features.  This updated version runs properly with version 2.0 of ZDoom.
 * Massmouth 2: 16 Maps. The mod is a lot more plot driven than the original Massmouth. Massmouth must embark on a journey to save his boss, The Worm when he is kidnapped by a mysterious group of aliens. Some maps provide the player with differing paths. Also features multiple endings that can be acheived depending on the player's actions.
 * Massmouthmas: A three level hub which chronologically takes place between the first and second Massmouth games. Massmouth must diverge from a break briefly to resolve a problem The Worm and a friend of his are having in the region. This entire mini-mod has a Christmas theme, 6 new music tracks, and is meant to test Cyb's ability with hubs in ZDoom.

Half Life References
The Massmouth games all have references to Half-Life (A first person shooter from Valve Software, created on a heavily modified Quake engine).


 * One of The Worm's unseen servants is called "Freeman", who, in the schedule in the garage, is going to Xen. Gordon Freeman is the protagonist from the Half-Life games who, later in the game is teleported to the dimension Xen.


 * The planet "Bahl" is named after Steve Bahl, one of the staff who created Half-Life.


 * Many of the enemies, (Plus The Worm) are actually enemies and characters from Half-Life: Opposing Force (Except they replace, and behave like Doom enemies).
