Shareware

What do you mean, you haven't played Doom, Heretic or Hexen yet? Go and download the shareware versions here, you bastard! This section also contains some free versions for non-DOS platforms, as well as some pre-release versions. A special thanks to Lee Killough and others for their attempts to dig up these historic versions! Last but not least we support two other Doom-based games: HACX by Banjo Software and Strife by Rogue Entertainment. HACX is now officially available for free at Nostromo's site; registered Strife however isn't on the market anymore, but places like this one might still sell a copy.
