Doom is amazing

How many other games released about 15 years still have source ports modifications, levels, hacks and weapons designed today?How many others have a complete rewrite of the levels being worked on (FreeDOOM) or a substantial modification of game code (Doomsday, GZDOOM)? How many others have a small but significant Deathmatch community that remains and is gaining new players even today? This is amazing. Go to doomworld.com, look up zdoom, etc. and you'll find it. Look at the /newstuff Chronicles: New mods for Doom are still released today. Forums? Still active. Better Graphics? You better believe it! Certainly those graphics are almost Quake III quality- not much today but a big leap compared to DOOM I. And mapping possibilities compared to DOOM2.exe are massively improved too: EDGE and GZDOOM have amazing weapons support and scripts and modifications, :PRBOOM+ and most other source ports have removed limits and added new types of objects, GZDOOM allows for storyline with scripts, New weapons are stock in skulltag (Deathmatch DOOM) and new monster resource packs that you can add to your mod and use with GZDOOM are now available. DOOM may be old, but it still is a game with some fire beneath it. Doom is amazing
I still enjoy playing it to this day, still gives me the chills in a dark, quiet room. A true classic.Doom is amazing
I still play the original games without mods today. Love it!
I have neverplayed it with mods, but that looks like fun.
yup, Doom is awesome.
Id software hasnt represented itself very well. How could you have produced such a mega-hit and then fall off the face of the planet and let the series fade to nothingness??? So sad.
The original Doom is much better than any Doom game to come after it. Doom 3 tried desperately to be a halfway-decent remake, but it wasn't at all decent. Dark corridors and a graphics engine that was nearly impossible to run as of the game's release...what were they thinking?Quake is the far inferior Doom, although Quake got better with time while Doom got worse.
