Go play DOOM. Right now.

Didn't someone buy you Doom?
Yeah, some asshole gave it to me.
Too bad the DOSBox version freezes on Windows 8. I have to run a source port.

Too bad? O.o

Source ports are the way to go if you wanna run Doom properly. The original Dos version is atrocious. It's stuck at 320x280 and 4:3.

Running it in ZDoom lets you also use mods like this.

Maybe I wanted to play DOOM authentically.
At least semi-authentically. Windows 8 doesn't have DOS.

What did you say about Brutal Doom Compy? Are you implying that playing Doom on wad that is basically steriods and speeds is for losers?
Also it's nice that DOOM gets its 20th Anniversary. I'd play it right now but I gotta study.

Dosbox isn't an actual port. It's an emulator.

If you wanna play Doom as legit as possible there's a sourceport called "Chocolate Doom" which tries to emulate it's original dos counterpart.

http://www.chocolate-doom.org/wiki/inde ... olate_Doom

It's mostly used to play ancient modifications that are incompatible with modern sourceports. It also remakes a lot of bugs that only existed in the Dos version that were even removed in later ports Id made of Doom. (Like if your mouse sensitivity is too high the options screen crashes).

Judging from PvtRichardCranium's deviantart journal, the guy behind is Brutal Doom nazi sympathizer apparently. For those who didn't know , make of that what you will.
Aside from Brutal Doom, I remember first playing Doom... on the GBA....
 
Ah Doom , I remember when we first met. You were so young and sexy and I would spend all night with you . I had never met game like you , so full of life and energy.
As the years roll past you were replaced by younger versions but none of them hold that special place in my heart.
Even now that you're old and grey I still jump on for a ride now and again.
I love you Doom. :heart-full:

It was the first time I played Doom( properly I think. I might of played it a long time ago except for all I know it could of been some other M-rated FPS Dos game though I'm sure it was Doom but my memory as a toddler is very fuzzy). It was Doom II on GBA and it became a favorite of mine. Skip a year or two later in 2005-2006, I find Doom Collector's edition at Gamestop. Then I lost the disc. Skip a few years later at a flea market and by the good grace of God, I find Doom Collectors edition.
