Yeah, that's the problem with Doomsday engine - it's heavy.

Zdoom is great! Try it, you won't be disappointd. You can play Doom, Doom 2, Heretic, Hexen and Strife with it. You will need the original WADs for those games.

Oh, and 2 things...
1. The Doom 2 review hasn't got a link to this thread.
2. WHAT??

the game just isn’t nearly up to par with current shooters or many other great shooters during the time this game existed.

This means all the games on this site are bad because they aren't up to par with current games.

I still think that modern FPS are not as good as the original DOOM. I prefer the raw kill-kill-kill gameplay over today's attempts to shove plot in my mouth or make "advanced AI" that still isn't a match to 10 revenants in a crowded room.

A good point. I dont think the original DOOM will ever get to old. It,s a masterpiece and was revolutionary when released. Blasting away with the shotgun for minutes at a time doesnt sound like much fun... Thats ofcourse concidering you havent played DOOM yet...

k:
What amazes me about Doom 2 is the endless imagination of
the wad designers, the architecture they come up with, as well
as the game designers themselves, they are good too. The
changes of environment, levels, interior spaces, and the
puzzles are quite intriguing. Sometimes I wish it was
an adventure game without so much violence, but that is
just my own personal feeling, it is quite an interesting
test of perceptual memory and imagination to work through
some of the complex interior spaces. In the wad line,
some of my favorites are Osiris, and the retro episodes like
return to Phobos, silouetts of Phobos (that one may be Doom 1,
I get them mixed up).....etc.

A strange side note to history, did you know that one of the
students that led the Columbine massecre in Colorado actually
was a Doomer and designer a wad which is availalbe on some
addresses, a strange sad foretaste of what he was to do in
real life.

Everyone try Doom 3 and the expansion ressurection of evil they are scary man scary if you are alone brrrrrr

Doom 3 doesn't make even close as much fun compared to Doom 2. It's main strength is it's graphic engine, but otherwise it's quite boring except in the beginning levels.
