Doom 1 - Retro Goodness!

Any of you old enough to remember Doom and DoomII will appreciate that the game (and its engine) were pretty groundbreaking and caused one of the biggest declines in employee productivity in the 1990's.

Anyhows, the source engine was hence released to the public. The Doom user community worked hard and the result is a much improved version of the game. For it to work though, you need to get a copy of the original WAD file, "Doom.wad". This contains all the game data and maps... etc. This is still available to buy from Ravensoft. However you can obtain a community made WAD file freeDoom.wad which will work just as well. Infact this engine supports all wad files, including Heretic and Hexen. (Both great games, i LOVED heretic.)

SO when you first load it up, you notice some obvious improvements. But the next step is to download the addons. Which make the game even better, as the computers of now can do much more than the computers the game was first designed to work on. This includes 3D models, lighting and high resolution textures. =0
