Supposedly the gameplay is supposed to me more old-school like the original Doom games.

It looks like neither Amazon nor Ebay has any. You could always try e-mailing Bobby Prince and see if he has any more.

Am I the only one that has the actual Doom Music cd released by Bobby Prince? I highly doubt it but I have not seen it on anybody's list or in their pictures.

They also made the strategy guide to the SNES version of Doom which I have.

I've read those Doom 3 novels. They're really not that good and feel way too rushed. Personally I think the regular Doom novels are way better. I know most people hate the regular novels but I like them, especially the first book since it follows the game pretty well. Even though the later one's divert majorly from the Doom story-line, I still enjoy them but not as Doom material. They are interesting novels though.

That German to English translation is wrong. There is no such english word as deaner.

I agree with you to an extent Super Jamie but wow, you took it a little personally, didn't ya?

The Express Elevator to Hell (teeth) was definetly a tough one. It took me a while to beat it but I enjoyed the challenge. Bad Dream was intimidating at first glance but ends up being kinda easy really. I thought it was kind of a neat idea at first but now it seems kinda silly. It's still awesome killing that many Cyberdemons so easily and quickly though. There's a couple levels (2 I think) that I haven't played yet since I've only played the Master Level's on PSX and Xbox but I intend to play them eventually. I still haven't got back to playing Plutonia 2 yet. I have long gaps in between my Doom playing times.

My bad, it's been a long time since I've played the SNES version. I could have sworn you had to restart completely over. I'm wondering if maybe I would just restart the whole episode myself cuz I couldn't stand to start that level I just died on over again with just my pistol.

You think that's unfair/hard? Try playing the SNES version of Doom 1. No game saves, no passwords. You die, you gotta start the whole EPISODE over!

Tip: NEVER use USPS for international shipments! I've sent things to other country's and it took months for them to receive it. The receiver actually had to go down to their "post office" and pay a fee to get the item. The next time I sent something, I sent it through FedEx and they received it in a couple weeks or less with no fee.

I have pretty much the same problem too. The only other person I know that plays Doom is my cousin and he doesn't play it very much anymore. He's only played the console versions and has never played it on the PC. He's still into Doom but he just doesn't play it much. Since I used to be exclusively a console gamer and have only recently turned to PC Doom gaming, I've been telling him about it and how much better (for the most part) it is. He's interested in what I tell him about it and he may start playing again. I also gave another friend of mine a copy of Doom95 but he has yet to play it. I still play newer games though, I love the new Call Of Duty games and can't wait for Modern Warfare 2 but I will always love and play Doom!

As most of your probably know, there are 2 Doom 3 novels out right now, with a 3rd one to follow. Personally, I don't think they were written very well and they felt extremely rushed. I enjoyed the original Doom novels MUCH more. The novels also felt very short, they could have put so much more into them. I don't even think all the monsters were in them. I don't recall any Arch-Viles, Cherubs, Wraiths, or the Guardian. I'm not sure if there any Hell Knight's or not but I don't think there were any. On top of that, not one single monster projectiled a fireball of any kind. That was just total B.S.

I like PSX Doom and PSX Final Doom but that's because I, too, am a console gamer. I've only recently started playing Doom on the PC but I have to have a gamepad. PSX Doom is awesome, especially the music which I love but don't get me wrong, I still love the original Doom music too. However, I'm glad I've finally got to experience Doom on the PC, in it's full, original glory. I actually started out with Doom on the SNES. I know most people here will cringe at this but I absolutely loved the SNES version. I still go back and play it from time to time. It's actually kind of the hardest version of Doom cuz there are no game saves (like PSX Doom) but also, there are no passwords to reload a level with everything you had. Not the SNES, you had to play all the way through the entire game in one sitting. Granted I'm sure many people have played through the PC version in one sitting without saving but it is a requirement on the SNES and since I had never played Doom before, I had to try to beat the entire game in one sitting the very first time I played it. I doubt any of you played Doom on the PC the very first time without saving. I remember playing for hours on end cuz I would die and have to completely restart. I even remember pausing the game, leaving it turned on so I could sleep. Ah, memories. I consider myself a veteran Doomer too. I can pretty much go through any level on Ultra-Violence and beat it without too much problem. There is no level I could not beat as of yet. Of course, I've only just started playing pwads and megawads. Making my way through Plutonia 2 right now and I must say it's pretty damn tough, the toughest of any Doom I've come in contact with yet. I will probably move on to Alien Vendetta, Hell Revealed 1 & 2, Community Chest, and others. We will see if I can conquer those, on Ultra Violence, the very first time. I no longer play any Doom game on anything less than Ultra Violence, even if it is my first time playing through it.

Ah, okay, didn't know that. I had planned on playing Plutonia 2 through a source port, probably prboom, but I kinda forgot to cuz I'm not used to using source ports. I'm already 6 levels in and I really don't wanna restart the game.
