Get some real action with this fps masterpiece! One note on the virus warning you may get, I ran a test on and some scanners find a virus.
No need to worry, DosBox will not interfere with your operating system. Frodo commented: Doom is awesome. Your mission is to save the planet from Evil Demons. They've been here before you and slaughtered all the good guys judging by the corpses lying everywhere. This game is just as much fun as Wolfenstein 3d but with more carnage and a dimly lit scary environment. Some lights go on and off, because things are busted and broken.
I like the nearly invisible demons, freaky! Scared me out of my chair on more than a few occasions. Some day's there are just not enough bullets! Stanjam commented: This game is an awesome blast from the past!
I remember it well. I was in my early 20s, and the small company I worked for had just gotten a new bunch of computers in lieu of payment from a company that owed us. Naturally we networked them and played Doom!
Then the boss came in. He demanded we install the game on his system so he could join in the fun! Good times, and it started a love of computer FPS gaming! Doom has an addon available:, don't miss it! PSXDRIVERPLAYER 2017-11-18 0 point Hello people. Noticed some interesting comments here. OTHER - you have an interesting comment here.
BASTWREN - let me quote you: 'you say others 'aren't a real gamer (sic) if you've never installed and played DooM on DOS' I never said that, I said 'I'd like to say' before that. (You can check it if you like.) Some people actually have that opinion, not me. Then: 'So, you install and play games on DOS.so what, so do I. So do many here.
And if someone doesn't know how to do that, then teach them or shut the fuck up.' Not exactly on DOS, but an emulation of DOS. And I'm sure there's plenty of sources telling people how to install and play stuff on DOS. Let's see other things: 'Oh, I'm such a much better human being than you because of the way I play my games.'
I kind of agree with you on this one. I just happen to play my games as closely as possible like it was played back in the day. It won't feel as authentic otherwise. 'Isn't it enough that people enjoy DOOM, regardless of the way in which it was installed?'
You do it your way, I suggested one plays it first on DOS, then tries the fancy stuff. The only thing I have ZDOOM for is Chex Quest 3, and only because I can't use DOS for that.
DREAD - I'm 'protective' about the game eh? I don't know about that. More like protective about how to play the game. 'Sure, go ahead and enjoy the 'original' Thank you, I intend to do just that, as I don't like updates on stuff. As for '.one of the best things about Doom for me was when the map editors were released and I could create my own WADs and get WADs that other people had created.' I say OK then.
I just don't feel the need to modify any game or get modifications made my others, as odd as it may seem. BastWren 2017-10-01 0 point DOS version PSXDRIVERPLAYER, you.are. pretentious, as 'Other' noted in his/her comment, and although I don't choose to use the word 'retard' (not PC, just don't like the word), I would agree with the spirit in which the word was used. For many coming here to check out these old games, DOS was archaic by the time they were born; why.would. they know how to use it?
You say others 'aren't a real gamer (sic) if you've never installed and played DooM on DOS'.what the hell sort of idiotic, hubristic comment is that? So, you install and play games on DOS.so what, so do I. So do many here. And if someone doesn't know how to do that, then teach them or shut the fuck up. Don't belittle them with insinuations that glorify your DOSian prowess. 'Oh, I'm such a much better human being than you because of the way I play my games.' Fucking pretentious pusbag.
Isn't it enough that people enjoy DOOM, regardless of the way in which it was installed? Go away - no one gives a damn about anything you have to say. Massivelegoboy 2017-08-06 1 point DOOM is one of the best FPS of all time, Still holding up with its somewhat cartoony like monster designs, but still keeping that really demonic edge.
Monsters can get you caught of guard and more. Weapons like the BFG90000 and shotgun really feel good when you play the game. I reccomend using a source port for people who are more new to classic shooters, like ZDoom or GZDoom, because you can see it in OpenGL, and use mouselook. For more experienced users, I reccomend mounting this baby up on dosbox and running it. Psxdriverplayer 2017-06-04 -6 points Am I the only one around here who plays this using DOSBox? Anyway, if you're new to DooM I recommend using DOSBox for the first time play, make sure to tamper with the in-game settings and the SETUP. Bonus points if one installs it using DOSBox.
And then, only then if one must, use all the sourceport crap that adds stuff to the game that wasn't there in the first place, like the very ugly OpenGL filtering (Which I don't even get, why not just play it on DOS, like originally intended?) and mods (which I don't use either, the devs worked hard for the original game, damnit). I have many versions of DooM, but I prefer the original 3-episode DooM, version number 1.1. (I also have 1.2 & 1.666 variants. And The Ultimate DooM variant.) I'd like to say you aren't a real gamer if you've never installed and played DooM on DOS. It's more fun than installing and playing a game nowadays.
Or that's something I've heard, not a fan of Steam and all games I like to play are old. Hello 2016-08-12 0 point For anyone asking about mods, there are 4 types: Vanilla Compatible: Can play with vanilla doom or vanilla derived ports. Recommended port: Chocolate Doom BOOM Compatible: Can play with Boom derived ports. Recommended port: PrBoom+ ZDoom Compatible: Can play with ZDoom derived ports. Recommended ports: ZDoom, GZDoom, Skulltag, Zandronum GL Compatible: Can play with ports with GL support. Recommended ports: GZDoom Zandronum Final verdict: I have always had a soft spot for vanilla doom through DOSBox but I can't argue that GZDoom is by far the best in mod capability, closely followed by Zandronum, which is much better than GZ on the multiplayer side of things.
By the way, GZDoom can play some vanilla mods, some boom mods, should play all Zdoom and GL mods. Poormanisme 2016-01-28 2 points if you really want to enjoy doom and doom2 then do the following.download a program called zandronum it will let you play doom in windows and make use of your pc's 3d hardware, (open gl) or you can still play in software mode if u can't get open gl working. You can use your mouse to look around and move with WASD keys.then download BRUTAL DOOM,it will make doom/doom 2 more bloody!!!!!! Just make sure your doom or doom 2 WAD file is in the zandronum folder. Won't work if it can't find the needed WAD.good luck. Battlew 2015-06-17 4 points DOS version I was children and i was playing doom1 on my old 386 my dad gave me. I had to play with smaller screen size, to make the game more fluid.
It still had low fps, but i enjoyed it anyway. Finally one day my dad bring me to a computer fair 40 km from our house. And there finally i sew doom 1 running on a 486, with full stereo music and extra fluid and full screen! It was awesome, like a dream come true. Doom made me love shooters game, till they start to eventually decay till the shit that they become nowdays (just watch at doom4 video and compare to the feeling doom1 gameplay provide). Thanks for exist, doom1 and 2. DeadPotato 2015-03-18 -1 point DOS version The name of the game, Doom.
Actually its supposed to mean doom for all the first person shooters back in the 90s. And it is, this is the game that made the first person shooter genre explode. Wolfenstein was a blast and Doom made it look like a fire cracker compared to a hydrogen bomb. In short, this game (if you haven't played it before) is a fast paced, challenging, non-linear (the level design), shooter with gore and demons from hell, and you're the one with the gun.:DDDD If you don't like the old-style first person shooter controls (meaning there's no looking up or down.) Try DoomZ with this!
Leitbild 2013-02-13 4 points DOS version So this game still is far better than it's own sequel, because Doom II was just a overloaded mess! Neither a bunch of new enemies, nor the new Super shotgun and the liniear, non episode gameplay could hide the fact that the maps were partly totally irrealistic (best example were maps like Downtown & Suburbs), a problem never faced in Doom! It plays only on fictive moon stations and Hell itself.
Doom is a decent and classic blast fest you need to have played! BTW I prefer the original 3 episodes Doom, because it was the original release and the story is already closed by defeating the Spider Mastermind in episode 3 (in my opinion a true joke, because the Cyberdemon at the end of episode 2 is much worser) - So the 4th episode of Ultimate Doom is just a unnecessary reselling upgrade, not more, not less. And yes, this game isn't abandonware! It's still sold by id Software! You better exchange the file with the shareware version!;). OM 2013-01-31 16 points DOS version.What most people aren't aware of is the fact that the major impetus for upgrading to a 386 from the still-nowhere-near-obsolete XTs and ATs, was that neither Wolfenstein 3D or Doom I ran on anything older than a 386.
Between the two - especially Doom I - the -need- to make the jump to a 386-based system became more and more necessary. Especially when workers started telling their bosses that 'this piece of shit PC you got me using won't run apps fast enough, and that's why you don't have those reports you wanted!'
.I performed a lot of upgrades and sold a lot of systems just for people to play Doom I. And as I've told John Carmack over the years, a.lot. of OEMs owe him and the Id team a lot of thanks.
And that went triple for the Custom Rig and Homebrew industries, because Doom I provided not only the impetus to start everyone into upgrading their systems, but provided the.justification. Long Live Doom! Frodo 2008-12-07 0 point DOS version I couldn't get this particular archived game to run. I found another example of this abandonware on another site.
The contents of the zip files were not the same. Perhaps I didn't run the installer properly for this zip. I tried to run the exe for the game which may have been a mistake. I ran the installer in the other one since it was the only choice in the archive, and the game installed nicely (asked me to configure settings) and ran the game.
I'm using Win98SE.
About This Game The complete megahit game that set the world afire. Plus All-New Episode IV: Thy Flesh Consumed. The demons came and the marines died. You are the last defense against these hell-spawned hordes.
Prepare for the most intense mutant-laden, blood-splattered action ever! The texture-mapped virtual world is so real, you don't just play DOOM - you live it. The Ultimate DOOM takes you beyond anything you've ever experienced. First, you get all three original episodes - that's 27 levels of awesome, explosive excitement. Then it really blows you away with an all-new episode: Thy Flesh Consumed. Now you're dead meat.
Just when you think you're getting pretty good at DOOM, you get hit with Perfect Hatred, Sever the Wicked and seven other expert levels never seen before! They're so incredibly tough, the first 27 levels will seem like a walk in the park!
