Classic Doom Kickassness

By ahayes, February 17, 2005

I was wanting to play Doom on my Windows 2000 computer one day but I couldn’t get any sound, not even with VDMSound.  So I looked for a fix and I eventually found out that Doom has been ported sevarl times to almost any system you can think of.  So I waded through the 50,000 ports you can download and found a really great one: JDoom.  JDoom is actually an extension of something bigger, the Doomsday Engine.  Not only does it port Doom to Windows, but it also adds 3D models to the game.  (See the screenshot) JDoom is available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OSX.  Long live Doom!

I like the Doomsday engine, except that the 3D models look completely out of place, IMO.

In other porting excellence news though, 3D Realms released the source to Duke 3D in 2003, and a very fine port of it is under progress, with the moniker “jfDuke” - it’s well worth the download if you liked Duke3D and have the data files around the place.
