DOOM, anyone?

Ghost Princess · 02-21-2011, 07:28 PM

Discuss the awesomeness!

My collection? Glad you asked! =D

Ultimate Doom - (1995 - Apple Macintosh)

The original 3 episodes of 1993 DOOM plus a bonus episode 4

Doom II (1994 - Apple Macintosh)

The sequel to DOOM. 32 levels, new monsters and a new gun.

Doom II Master Levels (1994 - Apple Macintosh)

Basically what it says. 21 really hard levels for Doom II

Final Doom (1996 - Apple Macintosh)

Basically Doom 3 but its 2 new 32 levels for Doom II only it isn't a expansion. You don't need Doom II to play it and its a lot harder. Also, higher screen resolution ftw!

DOOM (1995 - Sony Playstation)

A collection of levels from Ultimate Doom and Doom II with a few new levels, split into two episodes. Ultimate Doom and Doom II

Final DOOM (1996 - Sony Playstation)

Some levels from Doom II Master levels, TNT and Plutonia. TNT and Plutonia are the 2 episodes from Final Doom. It says 32 levels on the CD case but there is only really 30... and no secret levels to find so not much reply value. Blarg!

Doom 64 (1997 - Nintendo 64)

A Doom game by Midway. Basically new graphics and 32 new levels with sounds from the Playstation versions of Doom. The music is by the same guy. I think it is picking up where Final Doom ended.

Doom 3 (2005 - Apple Macintosh)

Came out for Windows in 2004 and Microsoft Xbox and Apple Macintosh in 2005. It is a retelling of Doom and has pretty good graphics (a little old looking now) and scares me. Its pretty fun =D

Btw. All of these I stole from my dad's collection of games in the attic xD

EDIT: I was going to add a pic but apparently I need to have 15 posts first. Hopefully I can add it later O.O

I've always been a fan of the Doom games.

Ever hear of ZDoom? It's fun playing Doom/Doom II online with other players. I've been thinking about setting up a game sometime.

Ghost Princess · 02-21-2011, 07:42 PM

Yes I have heard ^^ ZDoom I hear has a Mac OS X port too. I never knew you could play online with it though. Do you wanna play with me sometimes? ^^

**Valigarmander** · 02-21-2011, 07:56 PM

Sure. Maybe we can get some other members interested and set up a co-op game sometime.

Edit: Actually, Skulltag would probably be best for Doom multiplayer.

Ghost Princess · 02-21-2011, 08:01 PM

Ah Skulltag. Well, I have never Bootcamped before buuut I s'pose I could.

How does one go about multiplayer with Zdoom, though? Just curious! =D

Unless Skulltag has a Mac OS X port now. Been a year or so since I googled it. I use PrBoom to play single player xD

**Valigarmander** · 02-21-2011, 08:07 PM

Skulltag has a Mac OS X port. I see it on the downloads page.

I'm not sure how you do multiplayer on ZDoom. I've only done Doom online once, and it was with Skulltag.

Ghost Princess · 02-21-2011, 08:24 PM

Awesome! =D

I guess 10% us market share is the (do not ignore this OS anymore) point xD

Downloading now! =D

***Cosmonautical*** · 02-21-2011, 10:52 PM

Well, like Val pointed out there's actually a small community of people on here who play or have played Skulltag. Having even just 5 guys running through on Nightmare mode kind of stretches the limits of Doom for coop, but we still had a good time doing it.

I've been a fan of Doom since the first game, and I own all the novels. I don't own any of the more interesting variants (Doom 32x, Doom for Jaguar etc) beside Doom 64, although I have owned a few unofficial level packs that saw commercial release and an entire book dedicated to level design for the game:

Hard to imagine that those pre-rendered concept pictures on the back of the D!Zone package would ever look dated, but Doom 3 put them to shame. Speaking of which, here's one of the packs I've owned, can't say I remember for sure where it went:

Ghost Princess · 02-21-2011, 11:42 PM

Dude no wai! =D

That very same D!Zone box is in the attic. Right. Noa! =O Only difference is I am pretty sure it has the Mac OS logo on it somewhere.

Anyway, whats your ST name? I was just on =D

***Cosmonautical*** · 02-22-2011, 12:03 AM

I honestly don't even remember, and I'm on the wrong OS. Don't want to reboot, so I'll have to get to digging it up later. I went and changed the D!Zone box in that post, since I realized I was talking about D!Zone 2. Whoops. Those old unofficial expansions were pretty great, even if I never played half the levels.

Ghost Princess · 02-22-2011, 12:06 AM

Ah cool ^^

Okay well if you see anyone on ST named Ghost Princess it is me =D

heh · 02-22-2011, 03:00 AM

i also play skulltag!

and yeah vanilla doom/doom2 isn't good for coop, use a classic megawad like memento mori or hell revealed instead

**Valigarmander** · 02-22-2011, 08:31 AM

I'd be willing to set up a game tonight if anyone's interested.

I've got the WADs for Doom, Doom II, Plutonia, TNT: Evilution, Hell's Resurrection, and Hell's Resurrection 2 (I'm not sure if I've played either of the last two before).

Ghost Princess · 02-22-2011, 09:25 AM

Cool! =D I hope I'm available ^^

**Valigarmander** · 02-22-2011, 10:13 AM

I've set up a server for a quick co-op game of Doom II. The server is "VGF Fun Time", if anyone is interested. The password to join is "vgfdollars". Let me know if anyone has any trouble.

**Loot** · 02-22-2011, 10:18 AM

Can't find it through the search. Is it Skulltag?

Also does Impending Nightmare support Co-Op? Because that's an awesome mode.

**Valigarmander** · 02-22-2011, 10:19 AM

It's Skulltag. Dang it, I think I had this problem the last time I tried this.

Maybe someone else should try hosting it.

Ghost Princess · 02-22-2011, 10:21 AM

I would host but my internet sucks :'<

**Valigarmander** · 02-22-2011, 10:26 AM

Wait, I think I see the problem. It's because of my router.

Someone else will have to host the game, unless you want to wait for me to try and fix this.

**Loot** · 02-22-2011, 10:30 AM

I'll wait. I'm between two public routers so I wouldn't be able to go through the ports (Unless most of the ports at my apartment are already open, which I completely doubt they are).
