About This File

DOOM95.EXE will work with any DOOM or DOOM2 main wadfile.

With DOOM95, you no longer need to keep your main wads in seperate directories. Copy all main wad files (DOOM.WAD, DOOM2.WAD, PLUTONIA.WAD, TNT.WAD, etc) to the DOOM95 directory and launch DOOM95. To play, choose the appropriate wad file from the launcher and then start the game.

Was trying to get this to work on Windows 11 but says it wont work with WindowsNT.  Any thoughts on how to circumvent this?  Would love to experience this again since its been 20+ years since ive played Doom95

Didn't have the chance to play Doom in this port. I've tested it, and while not bad, nowadays it's not the best source port, but it has it charm. 3/5 is fair enough ;-)

Had a very nostalgic blast through this when I was a kid. Played through the entirety of TNT Evilution with Doom95 without monsters enabled. Good Times.

Love the nostalgia and feel of this source port, but bugs are still here.

First time I played Doom, was on Doom95. But other than that, don't even bother to use it. There's much more wholesome source ports out there. If you would like the Doom95 "feel". I'd suggest getting Crispy-Doom. Or just lowering the resolution and graphical improvements of GZDoom/Zandronum.

I love cheats added in Doom95. First of all, it's my first source port. I played Doom, Doom 2 and Plutonia on dad's PDA (later I had been solving Hexen puzzles on gran's PC with Vibra 16 sound card AFAIR). Doom and Doom 2 were too glitchy to play and had no music. You may not believe what I say, I saw Doom for first time on my birthday when I got 1 year old.

 

The best game ever I seen.

To the person who said "Better than Zdoom"

 

ARE U KIDDING ME??? I sincerely hope u are kidding because any port is better than this (and zdoom totally destroys it). Stop being a hater.

Microsoft did this to promote Windows when they found that more people have installed Doom than Windows OS. They didn't bother to fix some bugs in this port, even claimed that game was made to be played without mouse. Choco Doom and other ports proves that Doom community have much more talented people than Microsoft. I think Doom was the reason for Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth being made by Roland too.

It was great to play with it in the past. And nowadays a must-have becauseof historical interest.

FFS people, stop reviewing this like it's new - it's history. And if you really do want history, play the DOS version on a 486 ($10 from eBay). If you just want the retro feel, then it's Chocolate Doom. Otherwise play PrBoom or ZDoom.

Get Chocolate or PrBoom+ instead. This port was rushed out the door by Microsoft.

Ah the memories I have of this. Fond ones too. Doom 2 for Christmas, then Final Doom the following one. Eventually I discovered Icarus Alien Vanguard... then I discovered that there were superior ports out there. but for a pure doom experience without DOS, this is it. 5/5

meh..I never really liked Doom95. The thing I always hated about it is how all the sound effects are inexplicably "slowed down" a tad and there's no option to fix it. And now that there's Chocolate Doom, Doom95 is rendered absolutely useless?!

      Really good puzzle map in a big dark metal/stone building. It catches the atmosphere of Bob Evans' Eternal Doom stuff, and I think there are even some homages to some other Eternal Doom maps as well (for example, the big two-layered outdoor area looks a bit like the "amusement park" in MAP26).   In my experience the puzzles were a bit easier than in "Silures" or "Excalibur", but it's possible that having played a lot of puzzle map stuff since I played Eternal Doom, having played through the whole canon of Bob Evans and Jim Flynn, and liking to search for Doom secrets in every map has made me recognize certain tropes better. The puzzles I liked most were (the spoilers only give minor hints):
          Gameplay is good too, at the start ammo is scarce so the chainsaw and berserk are your friend, and midtiers say hello from the start on, but hitscanners are the biggest threat. Rockets should be saved for archviles until you find the first larger cache.   9,5/10

      Fun, challenging set of maps that looks much better than you might expect for the time it was made. These maps will still slap you around a bit on HMP if you're not staying sharp. The author is fond of Chaingunner ambushes which keep you on your toes. I didn't find the SSG until around MAP05, which was cool, I like when its not given out too early. Pistol-starting the last two maps is pretty tough, but doable.   The map designs do a really good job of letting the player see crucial areas from different angles through progression and the layouts are really tidy overall, and feel a bit more modern than a lot of other 94/95 maps I've played. There are some really nice large-scale vistas (like the start of MAP06), nice uses of verticality and a good mixture of tight and more open combat.   Recommended!

      Spectacular visuals and engaging combat make this an absolute must play. There's a puzzle with a "Shoot the thing" answer that kind of comes out of left field and can be an easy place to get stuck if you're not on your toes, but that hardly stops the map from being a thrilling masterpiece.

      E3M9's refrain of back-tracking to a church for keys is a little tedious, and there are a few moments where things can become a frustrating key/switch hunt as you figure out what to do next, but aside from that, this an intense and rewarding adventure with beautiful lighting and architecture.
