What Doom do you have and where'd you get it?

So Pick what DOOM Game you have and where you got it. Now most of you probably have had or currently have way more than one game, so feel free to tell us as many as you actually have or had. Also mention which source ports you use the most and when you first got doom.

DOOM II
Master Levels

Freedoom.
and Source Ports: Boom-based, MBF-based, ZDoom-based, ZDaemon-style, Doomsday, EDGE, Chocolate, WinDoom, NTDOOM, Legacy-based, etc.

Depths of DooM (contains UDoom DoomII Master Levels and Maximum Doom over 3000 home brewed maps)

Psx Final DooM

Ports I use quite frequently are:(G)Zdoom(GL), Skulltag, Prboom+, Eternity, Edge, Legacy, Risen3D, DooM95.

I ordered Doom 1.1 from id software in late December '93.

I bought Doom II in a store.

Final Doom and Master Levels came with my copy of id anthology. Also the mac dooms. This also came with the horrid Doom95 versions.

Doom Collector's Edition is the only legal copy of the games I have :D

I primarily use Chocolate Doom or PrBoom. Usually Chocolate except for special needs.

I'm exactly the same.

I started out with a set of bootlegged Doom 2 v1.666 floppies in '94 or '95. I lost them and bought Doom 2 95 several years later. I gave that away when I got the collector's edition.

I bought (or maybe my parents bought--I think one was a birthday gift) Doom 1 registered and Doom II not long after they came out but I lost the disks after a few years. When I got back into Doom several years ago (some time around 2001-2002) I purchased new copies from id's online store. That's one thing I like about id: you can still get their older games. If you wanted to buy, say, Wasteland or something, even before Interplay went under, you'd be out of luck. However, at the time, each game was only sold separately and was quite expensive ($25 each, so I paid $75 for Doom, Doom II, and Final Doom which was pretty ridiculous considering the games were nearly eight or nine years old). Now you can buy them together for much cheaper, and I've seen the Doom games available at some retail stores for about $10 for all three. It probably would have been morally acceptable to me to acquire the original games illegally since I had already purchased them before, but that isn't something I normally do and I wanted to encourage id to continue selling their classics. And besides, that $75 was well worth it, even if it was a little high.

I recently bought the Master Levels through Steam, as I had never played them before. I also owned a copy of Doom 64 (which is an excellent game), and I have played the Sega 32X and PSX versions at a friend's house on a few occasions.

As for source ports, I have the following currently installed: Chocolate Doom, Doom 95 (which never gets used), Doomsday, EDGE, Eternity, GZDoom, Legacy, PrBoom, PrBoom+, Skulltag, ZDaemon, ZDoom, and ZDoomGL. I also have the vanilla exes as well. I'm a purist so I usually use the closest thing to vanilla that a particular PWAD will allow. That means I play with Chocolate Doom for vanilla-compatible WADs, PrBoom for WADs requiring a limit removing or Boom-compatible port, and I use ZDoom, Doomsday, Legacy, EDGE, and Eternity only for WADs that specifically require them. I use ZDaemon or Skulltag for deathmatch. I will occasionally use the vanilla executables for demo recording, but I don't get sound since I'm under Windows XP.

Depths of Doom Trilogy (Ultimate Doom, Doom II, Master Levels)
Registered Doom 1.9
Shareware Doom 1.2
Shareware Doom 1.9

I got the DoDT at Best Buy one time on a whim when I saw it. Before that point, I'm ashamed to say my copies of Doom were not legal :D

Ports: Chocolate Doom, PrBoom, WinMBF, Eternity (duh ;)

I also own a legal registered copy of Heretic, if that counts :)

I got Doom 2 as a birthday present. Then I bought Doom: The Collector's Edition at Walmart.

The source ports I frequently use are ZDoom, GZDoom, and Skulltag. Sometimes I'll use PrBoom to test my levels out.

Doom Collector's Edition (the big box one in ~2002) @ gamestop

don't think I'll be buying anymore for a while, I've sparingly bought Doom stuff and other old games. And for source-ports, pretty much all the ones you mentioned.

I take it you bought Doom II first, and then got Depths of Doom so you could have the Master Levels/Doom 1 and got Doom Collector's Edition for Final Doom, right? Otherwise, buying Doom II would have been unnecessary. Or did you just want to collect them?

Well, I started with Doom long after the original was popular, I think I first got shareware Doom in like 2002, played it again 2004/5 (and FreeDOOM - too cheap to shell out money :D) And finally in 2007 bought Doom Collectors Edition. I may someday get Depths of Doom Trilogy.I really like DOOM. On Windows, I Mostly use DOSBox, Chocolate Doom, and ZDoom. On Mac, almost exclusively PrBoom.

So I like DOOM. I haven't much got into PWADS yet, need to try them. But I love SLIGE.

I first encountered Doom as a source port for the Amiga (anyone remember them?) in mid 1998.
Purchased the Depths of Doom Trilogy from Epic Marketing (an Amiga specialist in the UK) in June 2000 - they eventually posted out a set of gold disks (bastards!) :(
First LEGAL copy was Doom 2 - purchased from Dick Smith Electronics in 2002.

Since then I have acquired (in no particular order)-

Doom (floppy & CD) - eBay
Doom II (floppy) - eBay
Ultimate Doom (floppy & CD) - eBay
Final Doom - eBay
Doom Collectors Edition (with Doom 3 preview CD) - Electronics Boutique
Master Levels of Doom - eBay
3DO Doom (purchased by mistake) - eBay
Depths of Doom Trilogy - eBay
The Book of Doom - eBay

Yes - I shop a lot on eBay ;-)

Also have Heretic, Hexen, Death Kings, Strife, Hell To Pay and more wad collection CD's than I care to count.

Source ports for the Amiga (haven't played for years)- ADoom, AmiDoom, AmigaDoom, DoomAttack, and PsiDoom.

For the PC- any that KDX can launch + Chocolate Doom and Vavoom.

Most often use- PRboom+, Legacy and ZDoom.

I own Ultimate doom through Doom 3. Bought them all, I still have the Ultimate doom poster that came with the game hanging on my wall, it's great!

I started out with a set of bootlegged Doom 2 v1.666 floppies in '94 or '95. I lost them and bought Doom 2 95 several years later. I gave that away when I got the collector's edition.

My brother got me Doom (registered, not udoom) bootlegged, back in 95 or so. I don't remember what version. Lost it all in a format in 98, got another boot legged in 2000, decided to finally buy the damn thing when it came out on steam. I'm thinking about buying the collector's edition now.

Considering how tight these forums are when it comes to posting "warez" and such, I'm suprised at how many people only possessed illegal copies of Doom for years before they actually acquired it legally :P - especially a moderator ;)

Well, going even further back, my uncle bought the floppies of Wolfenstein 3D in 1992 sometime. Then, my brother somehow had Doom I floppies (from either a friend or my Dad bought it), but this is all according to them, as I was far FAR too young to remember any of this at the time. The only thing I do remember is watching my brother play Wolfenstein 3D and dying by fighting a "Mutant" (which I obviously thought looked suspiciously like Frankenstein at the time).

The first time I properly remember having anything DOOM-esque was my brother begging my dad to buy Doom II after seeing it in PC World back in 1994. I probably still have the CD knocking about somewhere, I don't recall ever being at the stage where I actually thought to myself 'I can't find it'. But I haven't looked for it either.

Apparently, I used to read out of the book to my parents and grand-parents (reading through the monster descriptions and such - hey I was still very young at this time! :P). So as such, the original manual that came with it started to fall apart, and my parents had to cellotape (or however you spell it) the spine of the book just to keep the pages from falling apart.

I remember my friend never let me see or borrow his manual because it was pristine and really clean compared to mine, and he intended it to keep it that way. In fact, out of everybody I've met in my life, this friend I just mentioned is the only person to have owned Doom or known about Doom in ANY way before I told them about it. His dad used to do Nightmare runs, and even though he was successful, he wasn't good enough by far, and only got to like the 4th level or something.

Then I bought the Depths of Doom Trilogy in 1997 (well OK, you know my parents bought it but whatever). I'm not sure where the hell that is, and I'm pretty sure that that is either lost or in my attic somewhere (which is basically the same thing). I remember not liking the manual at the time because it said the Cyberdemon and Spider Mastermind were "Doom II Only", so when I encountered them in the original Doom, I was dissapointed in fighting an apparent "boss" when I had already encountered these monsters for years and years!

One of my other friends also had a Nintendo-64, and had Doom64. I don't think we could ever get past level 12 or something (especially when I played, I still absolutely hate using controllers).

I bought the Collector's Edition of Doom (with the Doom 3 preview) quite a while ago. Two thousand and something, but I can't remember really.

Since then, using all the different disks at different times, I've used MBF (back in the days when WolfenDoom was still being edited rather frequently) - I remember MBF was the only source port I could use at the time where I understood how to load Dehacked files.

Following my move into XP, and all knowledge of MS-DOS and being able to successfully load MBF, I moved on to ZDoom (a brief period of Legacy prior, very brief).

After using ZDoom the most prominently so far, I've recently switched over to Skulltag, and then following that to GZDoom (late 2007). I've been playing Doom in phases throughout my life really, but I've been playing now regularly non-stop since about 2004 or 2005, alongside other games too.

In my opinion, Return to Castle Wolfenstein was the last great single player FPS. Since then, apart from playing through Doom 3 once or twice (mainly because the aforementioned friend wanted to go through the game with me one time swapping for the keyboard level-by-level), no other FPS has really grabbed me like the old ones have.

Just because some people have warez doesn't make it alright to advertise it on the forums :P Also, when I had illegal copies, it was because they were installed on my computer by a friend, not because I downloaded them from a link in a forum ;)

What people do to obtain Doom is between them, God, and id Software. :)

Doom2 - from a friend.
Doom1 - from a friend.
Years later I bought all the boxes I could get. So in the end id got their money... pretty late.

Closed because this has become more warez-speak than anything else.
