A couple of you guys suggested that I try DOOM. You said it was an older game. Well, a buddy of mine loaned me his copy of Doom to try out. It is for windows 95 and is called The Ultimate Doom by Gi Interactive Software. The game is a FPS but the graphics are really weak. I suppose that it gets better as it goes along, but is this the game you were talking about? Is there another FPS Doom game out there I should try- honestly, I may not try this one again.
Thanks Guys,
The quest for the perfect game continues

LMAO Hahahaha Perfect Game. There is no such thing. Games keep getting better and better.

For an older game that will run on most systems, get a copy of Quake 1. Really good graphics and not cartoonish. Duke Nukem 3D is also very good. And although cartoonish in it's presentation the original Heretic was a great little game.

If you want to see how far Doom has progressed, download a copy of the Doom 3 alpha. It's amazing. I only get around 20 fps with my system. I hope they refine the code.

Quake 1 is a great game and still has a large "cult" following.

There are at least 4 - 5 versions of Doom. And serveral ports. Still one of my favorite game. Ya, if you're used to all the latest and greatest vid games, then the graphics are a little weak, but it's still a spooky game.

ryanatalie: where did you d/l Doom 3 alpha???

There's a few graphic mods out there for Doom, you may want to try out Open GL Doom.

ryanatalie · 11-04-2002, 11:40 PM

I use mIRC. One of my friends got the alpha somehow, and he asked me if I wanted to try it out. It may be difficult to find a "link" to the fact that ID didn't want it released.

There were alpha leaks of the UT2003 game that contained major viruses.

Many peoples machines were infected.

I laughed.

IRC = Internet Relay Chat. Be careful, if you choose to play in the hacker and warez channels you better have a good firewall, antivirus, and antitrojan running.
