Searching for Doom1 Shareware v0.99 .wad file...

[Sammy J]

Hello!

There's many DOS-Box installer files for Shareware Doom v0.99, but I can't seem to find a copy of the v0.99 .wad file on it's own. The new DOS-Box app confuses me because it only vaguely resembles old DOS & the original command structure that I was used to.

Any help would be awesome! Preferably a link to the v0.99 .wad file if possible! I've already tried patch downgrading software for the shareware DOOM1.wad with no luck.

 

Kind regards,

Sambo J

Well... I tinkered around & found it!

 

This .wad file is the release without the inclusion of the Nightmare difficulty.

There's also multiple map variations & things that were removed from the game.

I've attached the .wad file here, please note it doesn't include the actual game installation & it's unlikely to run using any modern software. I wanted a copy for the file contents, if anyone wants to take the initiative to get it running without DOS I will salute you.

Kind regards,

Sambo J

The file works in DSDA and Crispy, but Chocolate gives an STBAR error. Just be sure to set it as the iwad and not a pwad.
