    I've finished it more times than I can count. I can't get a friend to play past E1M1 though because it's not new and shiny enough.

    No because the Build engine games are better. This turd is worthless.

    Anon, I've been playing this game since it originally came out. Sad to hear that you have trouble beating old games.

      i replayed 1 and 2 for the first time in like 15 years a little while ago. 2 is still pretty miserable to play, but i forgot how good some of the later 1 levels are.

      yeah, berserk lasts for the whole level, not just for the red screen effect. it actually is on a timer, but its something super long like 30 hours or something.

      It lasts for around 4 years. They didn't bother making the duration infinite, but close enough.

      also forgot to mention i played thy flesh consumed and sigil for the first time. tfc is... fine. mostly. but sigil is fricking brutal. i have a feeling romero doesnt like the idea that uv is the "default" difficulty in the community.

      he's probably fine with it, but wanted to provide a challenge to people that can deal with triple archviles, which is tough with DOOM1 monsters.
      And troll people that underestimate him.

    I got stoned, played through three or four levels, ate some funyuns, jacked off, and slept for 12 hours. I didn't enjoy it, and I never played it again,

        Chocolate doom looks like what I wanted, thanks. Might play on nightmare for a second playthrough

      Hurt me plenty is the default
      Ultra Violence is the standard difficulty if you want a challenge
      Nightmare! is fun only really if you know the maps already and UV is too easy. Respawning enemies will bog you down and win through attrition if you don't know where to go.

      crispy DOOM and UV for a pure experience.
      If you want a classic feel and good .wad support, nugget is a great option.

    >You never finished the game did you?

    I did.... 20 years later.

    Being a Gen-X kid, from a (barely) working class family, in the early 90s. My dad bought the family an i386 computer (pre-Pentium), which was a big deal for us back then. Decent enough computer to play most DOS games.

    My grandma came over to visit, spoiled me with a $10 bill. So I went to the mall (when malls were real special places to go), and went to Radio-Shack and found a copy of Doom for $9 bucks. It seems like a great deal at the time.... what I didn't realize was that it was the 'shareware' version of the game. And to get the rest I had to mail-order the other discs from iD, and it was going to be another $50....My parent wouldn't give me the money to do order it. So I just forgot about it, since going outside as a kid was still a thing back in those days.

    Fast forward 20 years later and I saw all DOS-era DOOM games for dirt-cheap on Steam...total nostalgia fuel, and really I felt 'complete'.

        strange cause im an eternal fan also, and eternal only made me more aggressive when playing classic DOOM.

        while its def bait, mouselook has been in doom since day 1, I dunno why you guys cannot accept this

        In 95 I remember as a kid playing it with mouselook on some shitty comp my parents had

          not vertical mouselook, which is obviously what i meant because only mongoloid zoomers think doom didnt have mouse support.

    you can finish the base game episodes in less than 3 hours. its a joke, you can pretty much walk to the exit in some levels.
