Nice. The tiny window reminds me of a Genesis game called Zero Tolerance which managed a decent frame rate because it scrunched everything down.

On a somewhat related note, finished Doom 3 again last night. Fun but not amazing, nothing has changed in the ten years since release.

I finished Quake II the other day.

I like old games, especially those that I couldn't play back then because the HW costed a fortune or I just couldn't get the game.

Nice! I fired up DOSBox and Operation Wolf last week. Dont make em like they used to

I was just considering loading half-life onto my pc to give it another run-through. Sure I still got the CD somewhere.

If you don't care about too many mods, the Doom 3 BFG edition (which is what I played, I have the original too) is pretty decent, runs well.

You absolutely need this, though:

It gives the flashlight an hour's battery life, and makes the shotgun into the workhouse that lasts the entire game it should always have been (as per the original Doom)

I'm going to play Resurrection of Evil this afternoon, interested to see how the 'gravity gun' knock-off in that does.

I really enjoyed RoE. Thought it was a bit more like the original doom in that you had to navigate mazes.

The boss at the end was also insanely hard, unlike the cyberdaemon at the end of doom 3.

I still play Doom & DoomII, the nonlinearity allows you to tackle the game in an infinite number of ways. Even after all these years I haven't got bored with it. Every game I played since DoomII got boring after the first couple of plays. I never got past the second level of Final Doom, just too tedious.

My first ever multiplayer gaming experience was on the original Doom on 2 PC's running serial connections. I remember being mesmerised by the experience of playing against my friend but he couldn't see my screen and vice versa.

Duke Nukem 3D kicked off bigtime after Doom in the office at lunchtimes, then Heretic and Shadow "smell remind me of old girlfriend" Warrior. Once we had decent PCs though, Action Quake 2 was the game of choice.

Hate to be a fun sponge, but isn't the game in the video Wolfenstein 3D?

There's a quite nice port of Duke nukem 3D for android.

It looks quite the same, is playable and for free.

What really set Doom apart was the fact that the game was configured from a relatively simple config file - the infamous doom WAD. Once the WAD structure was reverse-engineered literally thousands of alternative Doom WADs were created. Some of them quite staggeringly huge and complex.
