Great engine for playing Doom I + II, Heretic, Hexen + Expansions

[Ifrit]

Jdoom is the best looking opengl based engine which let you play the old Doom based games. The author bought himself a Powerbook and his engine to Mac OSX. Its still beta, but works fine and runs fast. Colored lightening + coronas + particle effects really bring new life to the old titles.

coronas and particle effects on doom 1/2, heretic and hexen?? Now you made me curious. By now I was using dosbox for such games. Let's see how this one works. Thanks!

OH MY GOD! I runs perfectly smooth and the graphic-effects... Wow, now I will call my friends for a revival lan game. We used to play doom 1+2, heretic and duke in those days. Once more, thanks for this finding, Ifrit! :love:

In another thread you mentioned that you played Heretic etc. with Virtual PC. I found that a bit odd. Doom Legacy for example - one of the first engines which let you play Doom I + II with opengl - exists since the OS 9 days.

Jdoom is still the best looking out there (although I've heard the net code isn't that great). It has great community which still produces enhancements for these old games.

Wait until all features of the PC version are ported. This means you can use ("fanmade") 3D models instead of the 2D sprites, use High res artwork for menus and of course texture replacements.

*sigh*.

Now I need to look for copies of Doom I & II and Heretic....

You can look for the shareware wads, Viro.

After the release of Doom 3, id released a pack containing Doom I + II + expansions (if it wasn't released before, but I saw it only shortly before the Doom 3 PC came into the stores). You should be able to get it really cheap nowadays. Otherwise: ebay...

did anyone test the network feature yet? I would like to be sure that it works before I call my friends for the revival lan game.
