The game from id Software is not itself compatible with current PCs, meaning that the available legal editions run on an emulator like DosBox, as in the case of the versions distributed on Steam. Here’s a tutorial on how to install it.Īlthough the process is extremely simple it can’t hurt to explain a bit about the internal functioning of Doom. It’s true that parts of its gameplay are now a bit out of place, but to fix this problem there’s the so-called Brutal Doom, a set of mods that improve (if that’s possible) the original game with new weapons, a better control system, and loads of gore-exactly what anyone who spent their teen years in the middle of the 90s could ask for.
Doom is timeless and everlasting, and no matter how many years pass it remains just as much fun as many modern ‘successful’ action games.
