For some reason I never really played Doom much as a kid but played these instead.

It does. The only problem is running it on newer OS'es. Anything over XP, and you end up either having to use DOSbox or some fan-made program that runs the .WAD files, and not an actual original run of the DooM.exe file.

I can't get the hang of it. I think I still have DOSbox (as well as the first 2 Elder Scrolls games) on this PC. It's just not as user friendly as the old Doom Win95 launcher was. And I barely remember all the DOS commands to load Doom through DOS (smoked way too much weed since I had an operating 486).

PLUS trying to figure out how to load user-made WADS is too complicated via DOSbox (unlike, once again, the Win95 launcher).

theres totally guides and even help files on how to set that kind of stuff up. you can also just make a .bat file to run whatever game you want ot run from a shortcut.

personally i'm in love with dosbox. runs all the classics smooth as butter, including the DOS CD games as long as you mount the 'cd' in dosbox. networking included. best retro gaming emu ever.
