DOOM 1 download

So i downloaded the shareware DOOM 1 from game spot and that works fine. then i downloaded the JDOOM patch. this patch claims to add the full game. i followed all the steps correctly to install it and yet i can only play shareware. now i need to know. patch claims to include the full game, i have evidence that says it does and it doesnt. does anyone know if the JDOOM patch includes the full game or is it all a lie?

hmmmmm. i guess everyone is to busy with their new-fangled next Gen games to care about the best FPS every made

i dont think this is catching guys

Hmm your right. i guess no one cares about DOOM any more. sad

sarcasm is useless on the internet

with what facts do you challeng my statement? whatever game you are thinking of. it would not have been made if DOOM hadnt popularized FPS into mainstreem gaming

You have to have the full game. jDoom only adds 3D functionality to the game. The actual levels are created in the doom.wad file located in the actual game. If you only have the demo, it's only going to recreate the demo levels. If you have the full versions of Doom 1, 2 Ultimate doom, then it will recreate the full versions of those games.

You are incompetent at PC gaming history. Wolfenstein wasn't the first FPS, but it was the first successful, popular, mainstream game in pop culture. Without it, Doom wouldn't have existed because the id guys would have still been working with Apogee or on their Mario side scrollers.And Half Life sold over 9 million copies, 300% more than Doom. Next time you quote numbers, make sure they're correct. (Source)

dude, people have lives, tehre not hear to help you with your problems 24/7, how about giving it more than 10 minutes before you start bumping it 5 times.

No no no, Jdoom requires the Full Version of Doom's WAD Files (Data Files). If you give it shareware WAD files, it'll give you a shareware JDoom game.

BTW to all these previous posters. Doom had 3+ mil coppies sold in 1993!!!! That's like selling 20 Mil in 2009. Not many played games back in 1993. It was a reletively new market.

hmmmmm. i guess everyone is to busy with their new-fangled next Gen games to care about the best FPS every made

actually DOOM 2 is the best FPS ever made....but close.

hehehe this is funny. i like where this is going

Although i claim DOOM is the best. Tribes Vengeance and Halo Custom Edition for PC are top quality PC gaming

I don't agree, I think DOOM 2 bought the original to perfection....not to mention double-barelled shotgun, Mancubus, Arch-Vile, Revenants, and Arachnotrons! Never played a game with such incredibly devious level design, and this game just kept building to a crescendo with each passing level, weirder and scarier as you marched toward the end.

The original DOOM gets the credit (for being first), but the sequel is Id's Masterpiece IMO.

[QUOTE="Dr_Brocoli"][QUOTE="-tears-run-red-"]DOOM 1 is not the best FPS ever made :[krazyorange

debatable....I think DOOM and DOOM 2 hold up MUCH better than say, the original HL, a game I love as well. Can't go back and play HL again, but I'd jump on the original DOOM's in a heartbeat.

hehehe. i said halo Custom edition. regullar halo PC is terrible but i am an avid creator of custom mods. Halo CE is the trackmania of FPS

[QUOTE="krazyorange"][QUOTE="Dr_Brocoli"] Yes it is. Halo was the worst btw. AFBrat77

1. DOOM killed Wolfenstein in every facet, viewpoint, etc. possibly imaginable. DOOM was WAY more popular with MAY more circles of gamers, etc. 2. Halo is still overrated, and it outselling DOOM proves less than nothing, as the marketshare of gaming when DOOM was released is nothing compared to the market into which Halo was. 3. You can easily buy the pack of all the classic doom games for the low low price of like 10 dollars. I know this because I bought them all from Wal-Mart several years ago. snared04

[QUOTE="krazyorange"] eeeeeh it might have been the most influential, but it's hardly the best. I'm the number one fanatic of old school, classic games, but Doom's gameplay didn't really hold up past 1995 :(. As for Halo, it's not the worst, but I agree with you in that it's most definitely nowhere near the best. It's merely "good."krazyorange

Much as I love Half-Life that same kind of gameplay has been done better through the years, notably with Far Cry and HL2, so it doesn't age as well.

The original DOOMs have their own style, and quite frankly I'd say they aged much better in the gameplay department.

I see your point sort of. Doom began the FPS craze in a more mainstream fashion. However, Half Life jumpstarted the genre with fresh ideas and the notion that FPS games didn't just have to be linear key hunts while mowing down enemy after enemy.

I still disagree with you when you say Doom aged better though. Sometimes I enjoy the mind numbing brutality and the secret-hunting (and IDDQD/IDKFA - still remember them 16 years later!) -and who can not be overrun with joyous nostalgia at the pink monsters- but, on another level, it lacks any sort of complexity. If I were in the mood for a FPS hack-n-slash, I'd run through Painkiller again, or give the Serious Sams another go (or Will Rock, etc etc). I never would find the occasion to relive Doom. In fact, last week I started shooting through Doom 3 again (this time with Duct Tape), and I believe that's as close as I'll ever get to going back in time with Doom.

But Half Life I could replay dozens of times. I'm not sure if it's pure nostalgia (I'm a gamer fueled by the classics - I find they were given more TLC by less people rather than the contemporary concept of tossing millions and two hundred designers at a project, each person with a task so small it makes the games feel soulless) but the opening tram ride is so epic and warming that I could never get tired of it.

Maybe it's just me, but in my well-knowledged opinion, Half Life holds up better than Doom.
