For me its somehow strange, being forced to get an console, which is not being sold anymore and takes space for no purpose. But yeah, this is maybe not the point of discussion.

I played this month the first Pirate Doom from 2013. Was nice and awesome to play! I liked the mood leaning a little bit to Halloween, what was awesome to be played in September. Hope this comparision makes sense, since I think there were some pumpkins and spooky locations. :D Two days ago I started Pirate Doom 2, to continue the journey and see what 10 years later comes. So far awesome work, there is for sure improvement in the level design. And this does not mean that the first Pirate Doom was bad, no. It just feels that the sequel does everything right so far. Thanks for the release and TC! I have unfortunately to tell, that I stopped playing at Map08 - Trezer Dig. The performance there was not right. I was going from 75fps to the 40s and so forth. I played already a great TC, where I don't know the name by hard, with the same issue in regards of performance. I just think that my Corei5-2500k is not good enough anymore to play Doom (lol). Maybe I could try other source ports than GZDoom, but in regard of the other TC I mentioned, I think nothing helped to boost the performance. But this TC was anyway crazy with its huge and beautiful mapdesign. I moved now to play the first Quake II Mission Pack: The Reckoning. Finished the main game in September 2023 and it felt right to continue now with that. But would be interesting to hear, if maybe LZDoom or any other source port could be better with Pirate Doom 2. Just out of curiosity, how are ZDoom and MBF comparable to each other? Both seem to have its roots to the year 1998 and are BOOM compatible or supported BOOM. (I have no clue about all the formats)

Which version?

Bought also one beginning of August. Very nice mobile phone.

The video in the introduction post sounds very good. In Germany in the 90s and 2000s dubs for videogames were often mediocre quality. Compared with this AI voice over, its sounds exactly that it is from this era. Fits into this mod.

Better play a recreation of flappy bird in Super Mario World or so.

Saw on a German news site this discovery and I was checking yesterday this thread, if it was reported already. Thanks for putting this in here. It's really nice that such discoveries are made. I guess it was randomly discovered?

With good ping I experience no lags. Saw people complaining and have the feeling its on their end. Do they ever check their ping or the one from the hosted server?

To be honest, for me Doom multiplayer through source ports was dead. Seeing only 2 or 3 people playing in Zandronum with 200+ ping? Sorry, that is a dead game for me. Now with the nightdive remaster the multiplayer is awesome! Any time a good match can be found or hosted. I still remember how people complained that the 2019 unity ports were launched without multiplayer. It is great that nightdive brought the multiplayer as well.

Ahh didn't see that the 2019 version is under the betas, thx! Also good to know that all the IWADs are collected in the DOS package under D+D2.

Another point on Nightdive's DOOM remaster replacing Doom 1 on steam: I looked up and see that the nightdive remaster comes with the DOS version. But it is still inconsistent, because the unity port from 2019 is gone by this point. But there is still DOOM II on steam, which should have the 2019 unity port of DOOM II with the DOS version.

Not sure, but I think this is vanilla behaviour?

It is not the same but thanks giving this option. Was really not considering excel. I appreciate the night dive port! Did delete the unity ports in favor of the nightdive port. Liked already the unity ports. It was just strange to me to pick up doom 1 instead creating a new steam entry. On the Nintendo Switch it was handled like that. It says now that I have nearly 80 hours on Doom I + II, which is not true. But the same can be said about Counter-Strike 2. Have there 420 hours and 400+ hours went for sure into CSGO. I really like the effort which was done for this version. I even don't miss the wad downloads on the Switch, as I only play the official add-ons on the Switch.

What bothers me a little bit is, that they replaced Doom 1 from 1993 with the remaster DOOM I + II on steam. I had up to 75 hours playtime in DOOM I on steam and I really like seeing my playtime tracked. Yeah maybe I have a fetish in this regard, who knows. But now with the remaster, how should I continue? I really liked to track my game time on every single Doom release, like Final Doom, Master Levels, etc. For example, if I wanna play TNT: Evilution, should I play again through Final Doom or through the new remaster? In case of Quake 1 I just lunched the main game and the mission packs at once, knowing that the mission packs are included in the main game's tracked playtime. I don't know man. Its a little messed up now. I liked, that Doom 1 was able to get its attention through this way. Because people refer almost only to Doom II when it comes to mods, playtime etc.

You mean SS Revolution, Fusion contains all the HD games from 2009 to 2011. Revolution is a modern port/mod of the old games and the old editor.
