Game summary

Temple of the Lizardmen 2 is a ten-level PWAD by Alando1, released in 2010. It received mention in the Cacowards feature that year as not quite a runner-up, but a recommended play as well-made and "really fun". The mod includes a complete set of replacement weapons and monsters, and a handful of new powerups. Dead marines with PDAs are also encountered. Difficulty settings have been renamed to Easy, Medium, Hard, and Hell Revealed. The author states that gameplay is meant to meld Doom with Unreal, although some resources are obviously copied from Doom-related titles, e.g. the Super Minotaur (Maulotaur), invulnerability ring (Ring of Invincibility), and Serpent Staff. According to its readme, Temple of the Lizardmen 2 is compatible with GZDoom versions 1.3.7 through 1.4.2.
First released: Nov 2010

Play Temple of the Lizardmen 2 on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Temple of the Lizardmen 2 on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
