DOOM (1993)

I actually just installed GZDoom last night, and played through the first episode of Doom. I think it holds up pretty well. I turned off vertical aiming, jumping, and retarded shit like crouching though. I don't mind most of the graphical features GZDoom adds, and I'm certainly not trying to emulate the vanilla experience (because I could just use DOSBox for that), but major gameplay features that weren't in the original game can kindly fuck off, and I mean that in the nicest way. If you want jumping in Doom, great. The game wasn't designed for it though.

Anyway, I also recommend Heretic. Everyone forgets about Heretic and will recommend Hexen instead, but Heretic is a fine game. I actually think it's better.

Based Heretic brother

There's a reason why for several years, any fps game that came out was called a doom clone. It's good, very good. If you've never played a game from the era then it'll be incredibly jarring but it's amazingly good fun with level design and enemy balance that is still crowned even today. Dooms existence is shareware, I wouldn't pay money for it today, pick up a source port like zdoom or some other modern source port and just drag the doomwad over the engine

I got the 2nd one on switch, todd in his infinite retardation decided it would be a good idea to ask for an email every time the game starts up.

I just want to play the game, fuck you bethesda.

Play is without mods or anything on PC for the first time a month ago, I was shocked how much fun I had

Better than nuDoom.

It is good, but you should play for free. Maybe, donate to a developer of your favorite port.

It's one of the backgrounds that came with Linux Mint. Took me a minute but I found where it's stored.

It is. It's a bit on the easy side nowadays since it was designed in mind with how the average pc user of the time would play it (no mouse/low frame rate) so playing it at 60+fps and with a mouse makes some levels feel pretty easy. Still, the game eventually gets harder to a satisfying point and the wads are really challenging.

I just finished my playthrough of it a few days ago. The dosbox version on GOG on hurt me plenty difficulty to be exact. I think it holds up pretty well after you get past the low resolution and get a control scheme you like working. Some of the levels are real mazes but the automap makes them bearable. Only a few specific levels gave me any serious problems and in retrospect starting on a higher difficulty would have been better. Some enemies can one or two shot you so be sure to quicksave every now and then. I'm halfway into my playthrough of doom 2 and it's pretty much the same thing but with new enemies, weapons, music, and levels. After I finish it I think I'll try some wads out.

The original Doom could be played with a mouse, to some extent. The really archaic thing about the original Doom's control scheme was the difficulty of strafing. (Left and right arrows were for turning; holding Alt would modify those same keys for strafing. You couldn't really strafe and turn at the same time, if I remember correctly.) The ability circle-strafe enemies is what makes Doom with modern controls so easy.

Well, i mean, yes he could also just be a retard, there are many ways to be wrong about Doom, sure.
