have access to...
486-33, 4 Meg RAM, 500 Meg HD, Sound Blaster 1.5, Gravis Gamepad
Things I like about DOOM...
- Stereo sound with the PRO
- Liquid smooth motion on the 486 only, the 386 runs like cold
molasses
- Blowing up your rocket-launcher-toting friend with the pistol
and a toxic barrel in Deathmatch mode.
Things to look forward too...
- Version 1.4 with the AWE32 support
- Modem DOOM with my new 28.8 modem
- A damn faster computer!

Been playing on my DECstation 325c since the game came out. Have an
DEC XL4100 [486 99mhz DX4] scheduled for shipment this Friday to my
house.
I'm expecting DOOM to be much more fun upon the arrival of my new
PC.
Been through all levels and have it pretty much memorized.

Don Lebeau. Rapidly turning into a Wadaholic! Have a 486-33 PC with
a Soundblaster Pro at home. Also play network games at some friend's
company when I have the time. Like to play cooperative games because
we usually end up rolling on the floor in laughter...
I've beat all three episodes in Extreme Carnage mode (admittedly with
a few saves and restores :^) ).

Jim Cooper -
386 33mhz, 8 meg, no sound (can't adjust internal volume)
Have to play with the intensity turned way down or the
scrolling motion makes me ill !!!!
Only play 1.2 shareware version, many friends at local
companies play network matches after work. One of these
nights if I can get a kitchen pass maybe I will get to
try the Deathmatch !!
So far, my favorite is the exploding toxic barrel ploy
when being attacked by several enemies. Grosses my
daughter out though !!!

blasting those bad guys, gets all the aggression out of the system
before tackling the road network.
Have occasionally had a riot playing the head-to-head on network,
sometimes with 3 and sometimes with 4.
My ambition is to own a PC of my own, and thus be able to *BUY* DOOM.
For now I only have access to the version that doesn't need paying
for!!

Bought DOOM (shareware) as soon as it hit the streets, went wild on it for a
while. It got kinda back-burnered due to other issues. Just started to get
back into it when I found the DOOM thread and this conf. Now I'm back and
interested in tring a WAD file or two.
Since we're showing or stuff in this conf.
DEClp466DX2 1MB VRAM, 32MB RAM
PAS-16 connected to an amp and small speakers and/or headphones
(The sound via this combo. will make you fill your drawers.)
Also play on a 425SE Colour (STN) - works really well except for the sound.
Playing on getting a joystick (Gravis) to improve my aim - keyboard is too
quick and mouse too awkward.

First time entered into the game freaked me out, and caused me to back

| OK, I admit it. I'm hooked on Doom. I feel guilty that, as a 40-something
parent of 4 impressionable kids, I'm not setting a good example for them. Hell,
I have to fight with them to get in some Doom time.
Can't affort a home LAN yet to get a good 4 way Deathmatch. Is it cheating when
you tell the kids that they can't have the car on Friday night for fragging
their dear old dad? Is that why they let me win?
There, I feel better. Back to mayhem.
I'm impressed with the addon .WADs being created out there in cyberspace. There
are some clever things being done with graphics, sound, and layouts. Check
out INVADE1.WAD, YAKWORLD.WAD, or UAC_DEAD.WAD (I think I've been in that hotel)

I can't play it though as it makes me physically ill. Nauseus, dizzy,
and killer headaches are what I get if I look at the game. Anyone else
get sick from this game?
I'll be checking in from time to time as my nephew asks me still more
questions I can't answer. :^)

| This is a common problem, I know many people who suffer from it. They
all have 66's, loadsaram and fast graphics cards, so it run really

anyway,,, for the intro..
Ray Pelkey, work in MRO3-3,, spent many-many nights in the
endless corridors and court-yards of doom 1.1, and doom 1.666,,,,,
Recently became a mild wad-aholic, grabbed the DOOM archives, and
was happy zipping through them until someone gave me the DOOM ][
beta,,,, woa,,,, here we go again!!!! Doom ][ is gonna blow
you guys away (for those who haven't seen/played it yet..)
I've spent a FAIR amount of time learning how to move efficiently,
dodge fireballs, strafe,,, and basically that is the most important
part of the game in my opinion... I even re-programmed my movment keys,,
found tha w-forwad x-back, a-left s-right is perfect for right handed
mousers.... (using shift, alft, and the new direction keys, along
with the mouse makes you a pretty hard target to take down....
I really like co-op play, and have a few people who I can go in
with... I LUV death match,,,,

| 3.35 | VR Doom ? | VESSA::MICHAELSONJ | Dedicated Bugger | Fri Oct 07 1994 09:42 | 30 |
| Hello,
Jonathan here - just discovered this conference...
I'm a DOOM addict :
I have a 486SX-33, 4meg RAM, 270Meg HD, SB Pro compatible, Joystick....
I can't get enough of doom, I've collected hundreds of extra WADS and created
about 4 WADS myself, a couple of which I've loaded onto a great BBS for DOOM
WADS - The Gates Of The Underworld.
I use DoomEd in WINDOWS. It took me about 2 weeks to learn the ins and outs of
the tool, but after trying to get to grips wth DEU and hearing other peoples
problems with stitching etc (It does it all for you), I've found it relatively
easy to use.
I'm also seething with jealousy that our friends in the states are already
receiving DOOM ][. My copy has been on order from the day I was sent a flyer a
couple of months ago. Hopefully it will turn up on or soone after Doomsday (3
days and counting).
By the way, does anyone know whether existing editors/node builders will work
ok with DOOM ][ ?
Jonathan
P.S I also gather that DOOM will be one of the first games modified for
the new Virtual Reality sets for PC's due out for XMAS - has anyone got
more info on this ?
|
| 3.36 | As soon as the door opens... SHOOT! | HOTLNE::DOYLE | | Mon Oct 10 1994 20:09 | 14 |
| Okay,
I'm hooked....
I had Wolfenstien 3D, and was impressed.. but wasn't really into
it.
When I first started Doom, I actually got queasy watching the demo.
I had to shrink the screen-size to keep from getting motion
sickness, (and I don't usually get motion-sickness) :')
Anyway's I'll be getting the registered version soon.
Hey how about putting all these wad/utility files on a CD?
Ed
|
| 3.37 | | FORTY2::HOWELL | Just get to the point... | Tue Oct 11 1994 05:15 | 7 |
| Sticking a compilation onto CD would need quite a lot of organisation
to do, since you'd need to ask the permission of a whole load of
people, without breaking any copyright laws. Still, maybe one day....
;-)

| 3.38 | | KERNEL::BROWNM | DRAC | Wed Oct 12 1994 09:05 | 10 |
| Just found this conference.
I run a 486dx266 16mb RAM, 1Gig HD, SBPRO II, Love DOOM II. Never really
got into DOOM, but DOOM II is astounding. I played it constantly for
hours on end when I first got hold of it, and am on around level 20 -
30 ( I lose track after a while).
I know that DOOM wads are being sold on CD-ROM, about 6 UK pounds or
something, and several PC magazines have had DOOM wads on them.
|
| 3.39 | What about a port to DEC OSF/1 ? | SMURF::COOLIDGE | Bayard, USGTE, ZKO 381-0869 | Thu Oct 13 1994 12:43 | 17 |
|
Another very recent discoverer of this conference.
No, I don't play DOOM, but my 11 year old son does on his machine
under WfW. I might install it on the Linux partition of my system.
(Kids' machine is a 25 MHz 486SX with 340 MB IDE and 4MB RAM. Mine's
a DEC PC 450ST with an RZ35 and 20MB RAM but a slow Paradise card).
Heard about DOOM from the Linux USENET conferences and wondered what
all the excitement was about. We bought a shareware CD at a show, and
found DOOM on it. Now it appears to be time to send in the registration
and start learning how to design WAD's, when I find the time.
Might just be the escape from testing DECsafe and other products
all day long :-).
|
| 3.40 | Damn shame... | TEACH::WICKERT | Washington D.C. Training Center | Sat Oct 15 1994 01:11 | 10 |
|
Bayard, ID was more than willing to do the port to OSF/1 if were
willing to lend them a machine! It had been all arranged and something
happened to the deal and it fell apart... I got it all started but
someone else was working on it and probably got TFSO'd...
Damn shame - we could have been first, even before SGI!

introduction.
I am running a dx2 66, 16 RAM, 528 HD, D Stealth 64 2Mb DRAM,

DOOM was good, DOOM2 is even better, and I love the little fat rocket
launcher type blokeys! And deathmatch is what the world was created
for!!!!!

|
| 3.43 | Happy now? | IOSG::MASON | Exiled and Ridiculed | Mon Oct 24 1994 08:53 | 7 |
| Alright Trev, if it'll make you happy.
My motherboard supports both PCI and VESA, and the graphics card is PCI
(which can be a disappointment to look at, because it's so small!!)
Also, I've got a 15" monitor, the screen on which goes right to the
very corners, making DOOM just that bit bigger!!!!!

Hmm, I must've forgot something. Just tried out Aliens-TC yesterday
on a DECpc in my office (I use it for "experimenting" for I don't want
to screw up my system at home!) 8>)
Had no problem installing Aliens. The only problem we had to
overcome was getting a way to put Aliens-TC.ZIP on floppy! We ended up
running SoftPC on my VS4000 and backing up Aliens-TC.ZIP. Twas easy....
I use this notes conference one in a while to read about others'
adventures with Doom. It's addicting as hell!
Have a Happy Halloween!!!!

It's great. CDINFO (a german program) says it's giving me 680K/sec
transfer rate. Return to Zork's cd benchmark progam says it's 580K
though, so I don't know which to believe.
I haven't had any problems with it. It has jumpers for disabling the
eject button, and forcing it to single-speed. I have the "single
speed" jumper hooked up the the keyboard switch so I can compare the
speed difference!
Don't know what else to say about it..... it's got 1 Meg of buffer
onboard, but you probably already knew that if you were looking into
it.

I have the registered DOOM, and DOOM II (bought a CD, but installed the whole

cheat keys (its tempting sometimes).
I haven't played via modem, but Deathmatch sounds like it would be fun.

Greetings to all the other DOOMed folks.
Been reading this note for a while, since finding DOOM the shareware
version on the net. After a nice DOOMed weekend I had to get the reg'd
version.
Play on a 386/33 with no sound. I thought it was great till I played
on my fathers Pentium 60 with SB16. What an amazing difference.
Called Gateway 2k, Micron and other mail orders for their catalogs, but
will probably be stuck with the 386... it still does the job.
I am still on DOOM, shores of hell, but the old man has DOOM II and I
was playing it a bit this weekend.
Best stuff in DOOM...
Exploding a rocket or barrel next to a creature and watching him
vaporize. Same with the super-punch in berserk mode. Chainsaw is cool
to... its my fathers favorite.
Now back to read-only mode.

Howdy Folks. Looks like I'm not the only one addicted to Doom. I had
to buy a PC compatible to do my master's thesis project, but I find now
that I can't turn the thing off without playing Doom for at least a 1/2
hour. ;-)
Specs:
Comtrade P60 PCI SCSI WinStation w/ 8 Mb
Diamond Stealth 64 PCI w/ 2 Mb
540 Mb HD (from Digital, much to my surprise)
17" Mag DX17F Monitor
I had to sacrifice 8 Mb of memory and the multimedia goodies to get
the bigger monitor and still keep the price reasonable. After working
on this nice 19" monitor all day, 14" would have been a painful
transition. It looks like I better find out what my Doom frame rate is
so that I can find my place in the food chain here... ;-)

Gary,
Get an AMD DX2/80 ... mucho-better! Bus speed goes up to 40MHz, and the chip
speed goes to 80MHz! Some folks have reported these systems are faster than
DX4/100's (tripled 33's) due to the higher bus speed. The price difference is
not all that much.
Besides, those AMD DX2/80's are keeping us Digital Semiconductor folks
employed ... AND making Digital money!!!!

Almost finished DOOM ][ on UV but got side tracked by Aliens-TC
Come to think of it I was well into Privateer until I got side tracked
by DOOM ][.
Currently trying to work out the right modem settings to get a Death
Match going with a friend (at the moment it only works if he rings me).
I'd like to start a new Modem topic where people can share their modem
settings, configs, problems etc. but being new to noting could do with
some advice on `WRITE' protocol.
I cut my teeth on Wolfenstein by the way and I still get nauseous if I
watch over someones shoulder. It's simple motion sickness. Having a

Been running Doom ][ only so can't get any of these other wads to work
unless I buy V1.5 (might do actually).
Running on a 90Mhz Pentium with a 4megVram Stealth 64 PCI card. System
ram is only 16meg. Game runs real smooth though, but is slowed down when
playing deathmatch to my old 486-33 isa based machine. I hope to get
them networked together soon so that might improve performance.
Anyone know if a wad is being or has been done of Deathpark ? I'm
planning to do one of the Solent office but need to get my V1.5 game
registered first unless there an editor for V2. Looks to be a bit of a
learning curve to the wad editors too.

486/66. Just got a sound card and speakers! Wow, what a difference!
I finished the Shareware version and 6 levels of D][ with no sound (not even
the PC speaker, since I play late at night when everyone else has gone to
bed :-)
I usually try to play for 100% everything before moving to a new level, but
I've been too anxious to play new levels to stick to that lately.
For those of you playing at home, do you deathmatch over phone lines? I
guess I gotta find someone local...

| Hi,
just discovered Doom, and subsequently, this notes conference. Great
game, and lots of good stuff in here.
I recently inherited a PC from work (and old DEC(Tandy) 386/33, with
8MB memory and a 175MB HD. Doom V.099 was already loaded, and I would
occasionally play with it, but now that I've added a PAS 16bit sound
card, I play more often. Especially since discovering this file and
learning about (& loading) the shareware v1.666....:^)
Now, back to read-only mode, until I learn more about the game.

Found the Shareware version one night at the checkout counter
in CompUSA. Loaded it up.
Just recently picked up the Ultimate Doom CD.
No kids, so its just me and my 486-50, 8MB, PAS-16 sound card.
Lotsa fun. Sometimes, after a frustrating day, I go in, turn
on god-mode, UV setting, give myself a beserk and just punch
away, and away, and away. Love that sound it makes when you
clock someone and they just disintegrate. (Sorry, guess
I got carried away there....)
Anyway, I'm still trying to figure out how the use the
cheat codes in Nightmare mode. I know someone in here had
it, but they're not with this fine company any more....8^)

decided it was only $44 (if I remember right -- it might have been $39) which
was just a tad more than what registration would cost me....
That's why I picked it up.... If I had been a registered user, it wouldn't
have made economic sense to buy it.

We've got a COMPUSA but it's an hour's drive. It's down in Orange, CT, which
is past New Haven. I'm up in the Hartford area.
Supposedly they're putting one in in the Hartford area by the fall, but I
haven't heard where.
I've been the one in Orange once, and their sales help was very condescending
and rude, and I'm not into being dealt with like that when I'm there to spend
money 8^)
I guess I paid the extra money for the convenience of buying it with 10 minutes
of home. With the price of gas here in CT, I'd have eaten up that much money
driving to Orange 8^)

I am addicted to doom. My wife is not an enabler. I set a bad example
for my kids. My two year old son says "Daddy...shooot..bad....guuys"
and wants to sit on my lap as I start fragging. I let him open doors
with the spacebar. I need help! :)
My computer is state of the art.. in 1992.
DEC 433ST (486DX/33, daughtercard CPU, upgrade cpu card costs more money
than a new computer!)
No secondary cache (proprietary design, this is impossible to find now
as an upgrade for any reasonable amount of money)

External speakers for a sony walkman (really cheap!, sound is better
than PC speaker)

tested)
SCSI and IDE disks
Runs Doom pretty well (saving grace of entire system)
