Doom Ports

[JangoFett]

Are there any Doom Ports which alow you to play a Doom game on one computer? If not is there anyway you can play over a "Null Modem"?

[Opulent]

Even the real game allows to be played over a null modem. That is more OS/adapter reliant than exe reliant.
Legacy supports multiplayer split-screen on one machine, IIRC.

why would you want to DM on one comp?...unless you used to diffrent monitors and two diffrent keyborads....

[The Ultimate DooMer]

Maybe he's only got one comp and no network/cable stuff.

if he had no networkstuff...he would not be on the internet now...

[NiGHTMARE]

Uh, you don't need to have network stuff to use the internet.

[JangoFett]

I only have 1 computer with the internet on it the other one we have I'm not allowed to use. So I was wondering if there was one where you can play those Split-screen types.

Doom legacy supports splitscreen and bots, amongst other stuff.

On HoTU for example...

[toxicfluff]

Thanks. Well, after playing that, my Doom sidescroller is under no threat at all.

Oh, you're making a DOOM sidescroller too? Tell me more. If you talked about it on some thread here, you can redirect me.

Well it's a mod using scripting, but it's shaping up pretty well. It's got 11 weapons, powerups, vintage ammo/health bar style hud, lots of hollow wall secrets in homage to the original sidescroller format and quite a lot of other stuff. There isn't that many concepts original to the genre, but a few. It's in testing soon, so release isn't years away.

Wasn't there plans for a 2D Quake Sidescroller? Yes Quake.
Whatever happened to that?
