I've been planning to replay all the 90's FPS classics for some time now, Doom -> Doom 2 -> Final Doom -> Duke 3D -> Quake + expansions -> Quake 2 + expansions, just been waiting for the correct mood. Well, the granddaddy Doom turned 25 and my favorite source port Doomsday got updated to 2.1 at the same time, so I figured it's time. The plan was to try to play a level a day if I can and feel like it.
I played four levels at one go! The first three of Knee-Deep in the Dead + secret level. I didn't realize how much I have missed that old school "here's a shotgun and there's a level full of bastards, go rock out with your balls out" way, I haven't had this much fun with an FPS in years! Naturally playing on ultraviolence (the only acceptable difficulty level) with previously mentioned Doomsday source port and Sycrafts remixed soundtracks for the extra oomph. I've got no nostalgy for Roland music, never owned one and I didn't even have a PC back when Doom was released. All I got was a PlayStation (which I still love today) until around 1999 or threreabouts, had to play PC games at my friends before that.
Looking forwards for the fourth episode of Doom, never played that even though I've played A LOT of Doom back in the day. just never had a copy that had that back then and when I finally got one I just never got around to play it. Then there's also Duke's fourth episode and the expansions for both Quakes, never played them either. Final Doom I've played only on Playstation and I've never played PC's master levels, so there's plenty of levels I've never seen there too.
Now if you'll excuse me, I think my chainsaw and I got some work to do.
