ultdoomer Posted January 7, 2007 There are some differences. http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/Ultimate_Doom 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted January 7, 2007 There are 3 DOOMs that are in a way the same thing but really aren't. DOOM shareware (just 1 episode, that you can get for free). DOOM registered, which is the full game in 3 episodes and was avaialble by ordering it from id Software, and then The Ultimate DOOM, which is the registered version plus an additional episode, obtained through retail stores. Note that if you have a version of (registered) DOOM you can upgrade it to The Ultimate DOOM with a freely available patch. Doom95 is the port of DOOM's engine made by Microsoft, and is generally what is distributed with the game nowadays (there's a Doom95 version of the shareware, and it's included in The Ultimate DOOM's releases). 0 Share this post Link to post
fraggle Posted January 7, 2007 The Ultimate Doom also has some modifications to the levels: the secret switch in E1M1, for example. 0 Share this post Link to post

Mindless Rambler Posted January 8, 2007 No, not really. Also in e1m1 the computer room opens up and in e1m8 you can leave the baron of hell chamber. 0 Share this post Link to post

The wiki linked above mentions a secret switch in Phobos Anomaly, but isn't that the one in a Baron's alcove? That's been there since v1.4. 0 Share this post Link to post
DJShrimpy Posted January 8, 2007 Oh, I thought the E1M8 switch was in the original Doom. My mistake. <_< 0 Share this post Link to post
