Doomkid Posted December 15, 2018 I would love to have a big box (or even small box) of something like Doom Collector's Edition which contains all of the IWADS. I see some on Amazon, but they don't ship to Australia. There doesn't seem to be anything on eBay either. It doesn't have to be the collectors edition, really any licensed boxed Doom collection would do - In fact I would prefer something that comes with the vanilla EXEs as opposed to Doom95. I miss having physical copies of the PC versions of Doom. 0 Share this post Link to post
Diabolución Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) I know this is not a perfect solution / alternative, but I could offer you the original contents of the DOS installers extracted from my The Depths of Doom Trilogy + Final Doom (original version) discs, preserving the original capitalization, timestamps and whatnot. As for the IWADs’ timestamps, simply use 7-Zip to compress your personal matching copies into a ZIP with no compression (store method) and run either QuickPar or MultiPar to “repair” that ZIP and extract them from it (I am [ab]using par2 recovery blocks as some improvised form of binary diffing to recreate my ZIP with the original timestamps). https://www.dropbox.com/s/k9bwfly41rym107/dos_installers.png?raw=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/euyw113w1eds9l8/Engines.zip?dl=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/4zktzgwg1n93m6l/IWADs.vol0%2B5.par2?dl=1 1 Share this post Link to post
Nevander Posted December 15, 2018 I have that exact collector's box in the picture, but sadly it has some liquid damage from an unfortunate leaky soda can incident. And I don't think I want to part with it just yet. I might end up needing the IWADs again myself in the future. 1 Share this post Link to post

MrDeAD1313 Posted December 16, 2018 Oh man the Doom Collectors Edition big box really brings me back but makes me sad since I don't have it anymore. Got that and then later the small version back when they released as gifts for Christmas. Always reminds me of Christmas when I see those :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Diabolución Posted December 16, 2018 Well, it seems you haven’t to create that zip file, actually. Just open the par2 file, add the four unmodified official IWADs as additional files and let it recreate the ZIP file which contains the IWADs with the original timestamps. 14 hours ago, Doomkid said: Thank you, this is exactly what I’ve been looking for You’re welcome. I posted this extracted from my discs because I am aware that not having access to the entire / unmodified thing when purchased electronically via Steam / GOG could be annoying for certain people. 0 Share this post Link to post
Diabolución Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) Bumping the topic to post this just extracted from my original CDs, this time using TZ=America/Chicago and that lhasa utility by fraggle. doom_dos_content.zip Contents: dos_doom.zip: all files installed by the original DOS installers, without the IWADs themselves, obviously. iwads.vol0+15.par2: to recreate a ZIP archive with all four IWADs (required yes or yes) with their original timestamps. master.vol0+125.par2: same as above, but for the Master Levels for Doom II (requires the twenty original loose PWADs). Original timestamps or bust!

I see some on Amazon, but they don't ship to Australia. There doesn't seem to be anything on eBay either. The version in the Doom Wiki is the european version, which came in a DVD case, while the north american version came in a big box. if you still want to buy a physical copy, you can try it here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l2632&_nkw=doom+collectors+edition&_sacat=139973 Some of them will ship worldwide, but i guess the postage to Australia will be rather expensive, even for a DVD case item. 1 Share this post Link to post
