Classic Doom 1 & 2 chat

I'm doing Brutal Doom 64. I love it.

Have you ever played Heretic Clippy? That was one of my favorites back in the day as a teenager after I'd played DOOM to death to get my FPS fix. It was the best of any of the clones I played:

You can play it via DOSBOX for free. Apparently the ports you can buy on Steam are awful DOS clones, so I wouldn't pay for them:

Damn, haven't played Brutal Doom since version 20 I believe. I know a Brutal Hexen/Heretic was being worked on, but I'm not sure if it was ever finished.

Dude nothing gets me pumped like Brutal Doom.

I play that and then I go out and kill people. Then I go to jail and work out

No I heard of it but never tried it

I still play Doom quite a bit (25 years and counting; been at it since I was roughly 5!), but I mostly make maps/mods as well as level editing tutorials.

I'm working on an oldschool singleplayer level right now for Doom 2, with a working title of "Stronghold." Here's a look at the automap so far:

If you (Clippy) or anyone else would like to check it out, I'll try and update this thread when I'm finished. I've been working on it on/off for the past several months, but I'm finally close to wrapping things up.

Oh man I made levels too. With code imp

I'd love to look at it

 

[Clippy]

Good luck.

Thanks friend. Did it

 

[HHJ]

I would love to make levels. The new doom comes with a level editor too,but i never get around to it.

Hey guys hey I don't think I ever made a thread in this section before

I don't really play games - er modern games. But I always been a fan of classic doom. This is a game I could play forever! When I took networking in high school we all just played doom all the time

Anyway I got some screen recording software and am attempting to beat all the levels with just a pistol start and 100% kills and secrets

I finished all four episodes of ULTIMATE DOOM and am now working on Doom 2

I just recorded this!



If anyone cares I'll keep updated if I manage to complete this

What are you doing, man?

You've got to stick to just the pistol the entire way through!

Heretic and Hexen were two of my favourite games in that era. Loved both of them. Nothing was more satisfying than turning your opponent into a chicken during death match in Heretic

Hexen had the cool co op mode too

A quick thought about my fave levels

Ep 1 as a whole feels samey same throughout
I hate ep 4 with a passion

So I'll list these

E2M3
E3M4
E2M7
E2M9
E3M3
E3M6 is my all time doom 1 fave

Doom 2:

Maps 7, 8, 10, 13, 16

Don't remember much after that but will get to em as I play through

You like Map 9 - the pit? I HATED that level - to date it's taken me the most amount of time to play through. That super annoying room with the raising lifts are annoying AF

 

[Madmick]

No I heard of it but never tried it

It's crack for a DOOM gamer. Worm also had a great thread about retro shooters being made he posted half a year ago:
Retro “Throwback” Shooters

Don’t forget Chex Quest.

I just beat map 16 suburbs without the invulnerability sphere. It was epic and took a few tries hah hah

E3M6 might be my favourite Doom 1 map over all too.

Which room are you talking about on level 9 of Doom II?

Edit: never mind, I know what you mean. Yeah, that parts pretty gay.

The funny thing is my other four favourite Doom 2 maps all have in common is they’re all John Romero maps. GOAT level designer.

Yeah that room took my like forever if u watched my demo

Just beat 18 and it should be on the fave levels list.

I'm going to try the newest version soon.

Oh wow, so Brutal Heretic IS a thing?! Ok, I've gotta play this.



Edit: @Clippy Give Heretic a try. The weapons are pretty much clones of Dooms, but picking up the Tomb of Power makes these weapons even more powerful for a limited time. There's other items you can pick up and use like the Banishment Device which teleports the player to a different location and the Morph Ovum that transforms enemies into chickens.
