BlackVega | 583 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 So is this another one of those custom wad files intended for those modern Doom source ports right? To be fair I'm not into custom wads or hacks of games in general but most importantly I still need to complete Plutonia and TNT.......

To be fair I'm not into custom wads or hacks of games in general but most importantly I still need to complete Plutonia and TNT....... John Romero made it in the spirit of DooM 1. So nothing from DooM 2 was used, monsters or guns, or textures. Altho I think the secret level uses a few 'new' textures. The only improvement is the newer source ports are limit removing so you can add as much stuff as you want, as the original DooM constricted it, as to not tax lower end computers. 18 hours ago, ZeldaFreak said: Just recently played Sigil 1 actually, was very very good, definitely excited to check out Sigil 2!

Ive been trying to pistol start it with no saves, and trying to learn the map. Im at E6M6, which I have beaten but I'm going back to find the right path. E6M1 may be the hardest official doom level of all time haha. 1 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/14098-happy-30th-birthday-to-doom/#findComment-388198 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think of TNT and Plutonia as add-ons for DOOM II rather than their own separate entry in the franchise, but that might just be me. You could definitely make an argument for Final DOOM being its own unique entry.

ZeldaFreak | 3,914 Events Team · Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Kind of a similar situation to Sonic 3 & Knuckles, do you consider Sonic & Knuckles its own separate entry, or as an addition to Sonic 3?

There was already Doom on Super Nintendo.

Well yeah but it sucked, the N64 was a console that would've been more than capable of an actually good port. ...Also, you say that about it not being like today with ports, but there really were quite a substantial amount of DOOM ports honestly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Doom_ports It really is a bit strange that stuff like the 3DO got DOOM ports, but the console that had an entire new DOOM game on it never got the original 2.

ZeldaFreak | 3,914 Events Team · Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 At least the SNES port nailed the soundtrack, which is pretty damn impressive given that the SNES's soundchip wasn't really the best for replicating that type of heavy metal sound Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/14098-happy-30th-birthday-to-doom/#findComment-388230 Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are still porting it to toasters and stuff. idk, I see why you say now that it would make sense, but I'm not surprised they skipped that at the time and went only with something new for N64. How many of those other consoles that got Doom 1 ports also got a new game?
