DOOM95

Frankly I've never had a problem with doom95 and I still use it off and on today. Works good with XP, you just need to disable screen rotation in your graphic properties to get rid of that random flip glitch. 5/5 ~Joe Anderson

I never had the ability to play Doom in it's pure, bare basic form. This is as close to it as i can get, as my laptop can't run DOS programs, and DOSBox crashes 99.9% of the time when i try to load Doom. 5/5

super cool

If you have trouble running this on Win7-64bit, try renaming "dplayx.dll" in C:\Windows\SysWOW6 4 to "dplay.dll."

5/5 Better than Chocolate Doom as it is not GPL, but not as great as Zdoom :)

best game

Terrible port...I just hate it so much. I'd rather use DOS than this piece of crap that messes with everything. No DOS you say? Zdoom then.

My first Doom experience was on friend's black-and-green crt monitor with win95 and this bad boy, Doom95 on it. Unforgettable thing. Before I learned about other ports, this was the way to play Doom.

love the game for years....there wasn't anything better then grabbing a chaincun and mowing down creatures....

good gamess

This is the port that I use for all my dooming. The only time I don't use it is when the wad requires a more powerful port, like Zdoom. For me, it's the instant level select that sells it for me over vannila Doom. Plus, there's no jury rigging required for advanced computers (although i've heard of Vista having problems with it). All and all, a solid port.

Still one of the best ports of Doom out there.

pretty dam good

Estlib says: I woted 2 stars because i dont care what others say about ports and how bad they are. doom 1 was and always will be the greatest in doom series, it ewen beats doom 3!! :D

Nearly obsolete nowadays, because there are many alternatives and because it was made for Windows 9x but can have issues in more modern releases of Microsoft's monstrosities. (Even id Software reverted to Doom on DOSBox for the recent Steam release.) Regardless, in its native environment it is relatively stable and rather faithful to the DOS version. Plus let's not forget this package includes Knee Deep in the Dead, and not just the Doom95 engine. [4/5] ~Chain Mail (11/2007)

I disagree with most people. While Doom95 offers a vanilla styled gameplay, it's full of bugs and crashes. I don't recommend this. Instead, I recommend Chocolate Doom. It's the true ultimate alternative to playing original Doom in it's vanilla state! Maybe some of you (like me) have Collector's Edition which (unfortunately) comes with this executable instead of old DOS exes. Don't worry, as I said, get Chocolate Doom! I give 1 star for Doom95 for reasons above. -Doomer95

This made playing PWADS much easier as a kid and I've been hooked on DooM even more ever since. The sound effects are a slightly lower pitch, but despite it's flaws it's very accurate to DOS Doom/Doom2. ..Nowadays, Just use Zdoom, Zandronum or Zdaemon.

I love this game

^^^wrong! Chocolate Doom is the best vanilla source port! Doom95 sucks because is full of bugs. I have Collector's Edition and Doom95 came with the IWADS instead of old DOS executable files. But don't worry, you can download Chocolate Doom if you want to experience the good old days of playing Doom! I give this source port 3/5.

The game is classical with all the blood you need

great game

godly game, shit port **

NICE! Though I do have a disc that came with that. Can't beat the classics now can ya?

this is the greatest doom tha id games has ever made. i love it. it deserves more than 5 stars. *****

I remember playing this as part of a Windows 95 Game Demo disc that came with our old computer. Boy, has it been so long? This was the way I played it well into my teens, when I discovered other sourceports. But yeah, if you want the Dos experience, get Chocolate Doom. 5/5 for pure nostalgia.
