Doom Online

[Mr. Mainstream]

is there any where i can EASILY play doom online>?

[codename47]

no. not 3 anyway.

You mean multiplay or in a browser window?
because the game is pretty old, so you can't find servers and stuff I guess...

You would be suprised how many people still play doom online.

Best thing to do would be to check gaming forums, or irc.

A server for doom can be run off of a 486dx with 8 megs of ram and a 56.6 K connection.

I will do some checking for you, and see if i can find anything

*EDIT* ok, i found a large community, that has a very large forum, he is the forum for online play.

And look for a program called "doom connector"

Jeezzz, still playing Doom? What a bunch of sad people.
They are stuck in the past. Or, their pc can't handle newer games,
but I doubt it...

What's wrong with playing older games? Personally, I still think Commader Keen and Super Mario Bros. are better games than half that crap that's sold for $50 these days.

i agree with dr damn. i get more pleasure from a good game of space invaders than some crap like unreal tournament.

[Mr. Mainstream]

if it wasnt for doom and wolfenstein there probley wouldnt be crappy UT or Quake games k

Doom was great.... really great.

Its amazing, on quake 3, RTCW, JKII Jedi Outcast, and Unreal Tournament, I can max the settings, max the resolution, and still get upwards of 80 frames a second, but when I try doom 95, it chops along at less than 30

btw, want to see your framerate, take screenshots, capture movies from your games? try fraps, its great http://www.fraps.com/

want to capture screen? press the print screen key on your keyboard.

Doesn't work in all games, but those that don't usually have built in screen capture thingys

I honestly don't use it for that, I just like to see framerate, it tells me if something is wrong, and is great for benchmarking tweaks

i play quake3 most these days, i have been playing it for over 4 years now, and have loved it ever since. yeah i agree, there wouldn't be any of the high end shooters that eat all of your cpu power (unreal tournament 2k3), if it wasnt for wolfenstein 3d, or doom. i remember playing those games on our old packard bell back in 1995. it was a blast, ah the memories.

still some old games are fun to play, even though the new generation of kids, never got to experience a snes when it came out, or nes for a matter of fact.
