I find that the DOOM game plays in a screen that's too small for the game to be enjoyable, in X. If you want to play DOOM there's a good DOOM clone: FreeDOOM with more interesting weapons and monsters, and slightly better graphics. If you're a DOOM fan you should make a FAT32 partition and install FreeDOS to it, (include FreeDOOM in the setup process). That's the only proper way to play original DOOM these days.

the screen size is easy to change for doom. i'm on a winblows machine right now, so it's not in front of me, but just go into doom's config file, and you can adjust the screen size to your liking.

Oh, I didn't know that. You're sure you can change the size of the box in X?

Where do I find this config file and what do I have to edit?

Sorry - used "Find" and had success (/home/dsl/.lxdoom/boom.cfg). Doubbled the screensize but now its very - don't know how to say in english - pixelig. Smaller window ist better quality but very, very small.

Pixellated? Oder pixellany? The original DOOM for DOS had very low screen resolution too. We notice it more these days.

As far as episodes 2, 3, and 4 go, you still have to buy Doom. Id released the Doom source code years ago, but they still hold the rights on the IWAD. Just look on amazon.com or somewhere and purchase Ultimate Doom, it's probably only a couple of bucks now.

And yes, Doom is very pixelated. It originally rendered at 320x200, but it was playable on a 486 with 4 MB Ram, although some tweaking was required to get it to load.

Graphics limitations aside though, Doom still has some of the best gameplay ever, IMO.

Hello,

You can play to this game with < Doom Legacy > and a free version of a iwad < Freedoom >.
