Some Magazine Scans

[Ralphis]

Hey, I found some old gamepros that had some Doom stuff in them. I scanned some of it, but not the 15 page Final Doom strategy guide because WHO CARES. HERE YA GO: http://ralphis.unidoom.org/gamepro/

That was a pretty awesome trip down memory lane.

I hadn't seen that one, excellent!

Thanks for sharing. Good pictures. "97_apr_saturn.jpg" has protips.

Those old magazines always look so good, or at least interesting. Nice share.

If your copy of that magazine breaks you could look on archive.org for a backup scan.

Doom 64 is the "brutal doom" of the 90's.

No it isn't. It was an alternative to the PC and PSX/Saturn version (let's face it all other console ports were inferior) and is still a viable alternative to those who have played the main vanilla episodes and want something new without turning to mods.

Heh.

Don't think it's brutality could be confined to just the '90s, though. It's the most brutal Doom there will ever be.

Oh man. I had a bazillion gamepro issues starting from ~2000 and remember getting rid of them all.

Too bad gamepro died off.

I really like the Mancubus Renders from Doom 64. I wish there was easy access to a bunch of shots like that.

I remember seeing a high res version on the cover of a magazine back when the game was new, wish someone had it.

lmao those protips !

For those interested, 96_sept_doom64.jpg features an unseen Doom 64 weapon that never got in the game. Some sort of flamethrower, perhaps?

Edit: Also -once again- for those interested, I've found a font that closely resembles the one used for the upper right text in the Final Doom PSX ad. (96_dec_finaldoomad)

Another Typewriter

I'm still struggling to find a font similar to the main yellow text. Any help would be appreciated.

Interesting, if 96_may_n64.jpg is anything to go by, it looks as though PSX Doom was also going to be on the N64. I'm glad we got a whole new episode of Doom goodness instead.

Also, rofl at the 3DO version's review. It was scored lower than Nester's Funky Bowling for virtual boy - That speaks volumes..
