OLD "FEATURED" BOXES       The Home page has on the left a "Featured" box. This page contains old ones that have been replaced. Featured Doom Bible The Doom Bible was a design outline written by Tom Hall over a year before the release of Doom. Largely incomplete, it's pretty much his vision of a plot-heavy Doom, describing everything from an introductory movie to details of several playable characters. Thanks to Doomworld for this gem of Dooming history. Added August 11, 2006 Featured Chex Quest Chex Quest is bizarre indeed. This was distributed in boxes of Chex cereal for a while in 1996. In this total conversion of Doom 1, you play a piece of Chex cereal shooting at green things for one reason or another. Enemies, weapons, and level design are all crap, but I love this mod (for obvious reasons). You can download either the Ultimate Chex Quest version, linked above, or the original Chex Quest 1 and 2. The originals run in MS-DOS, so those with modern operating systems should get the Ultimate version, a combination of 1 and 2 running on Doom Legacy. Added June 23, 2006 Featured Masters of Doom Masters of Doom is about the only Doom book aside from strategy guides. It is written almost in the style of a novel, chronicling all of id Software's games up to the early development of Doom 3. It covers everything from the childhoods of the id guys to the end of the most important friendship in video game history. Added February 4, 2006 Featured Bill Gates Sucks at Doom This is a video made for a Microsoft Halloween celebration plugging DirectX and Windows 95. The video shows Bill Gates playing Doom (notice he has God Mode on) until he steps in front of the camera with a trenchcoat and shotgun and starts talking about Windows being a great gaming platform, etc. Definitely something to see. Added December 2, 2005 Featured Doom 2 Transformed Preview This wad contains the first three maps of Doom 2 Transformed, a deathmatch wad-in-progress that consists of major changes to the original Doom 2 maps. These maps are very fun and interesting, and the music is great. This wad was submitted to me by Joey Jordison. Added November 17, 2005 Featured Iwad Verifier This program (by LichSoft Software) lets you load your iwad (main Doom/Doom 2 wad) and it will display the exact version of Doom it is. Very useful to see if you need to patch. Added October 16, 2005 Featured Doom Alpha Versions This is the alpha versions of Doom, showing Doom in development as early as two months. These are really interesting, and some are very weird. EDIT: The zip file should work now. Thanks to Tristan Dreith for bringing the problem to my attention. Added August 19, 2005 Featured Doom Builder Doom Builder is a free map editor by CodeImp, the creator of the late Doom Connector. It's famous for its 3D editing mode, in which you can walk around your map adjusting light levels, floor and ceiling heights, texture alignment, and much more. Added July 1, 2005 Featured Official Doom FAQ This is the official Doom and Doom 2 FAQ. It's really old (December 10, 1994), last updated one year after Doom came out. Get this if you're a collector or want to have it permanently on your computer. For an HTML version that's easier to navigate, go here. Added June 22, 2005 Featured Cathedral This is a great-looking 3-map wad submitted by Ryan Gallagher. It requires Doom Legacy. Added June 19, 2005 Featured Doom 2 Original Executable This is the original Doom 2 executable version 1.9. You may want this if you got the Doom Collector's Edition, which came with a crappy Windows port. There is a 99% percent chance this won't work if you have Windows 2000 or XP. Added June 1, 2005 Featured Doom Source Code This is the source code for Doom, the actual C code written by Id Software. Due to some sound-related copyright problems, this is the Linux version of Doom and when compiled, there's no sound. This is still very similar to the MS-DOS version. Source port authors use this, but it's also pretty neat just to look at. The code can be opened in a text editor (like Notepad) or a compiler. Added May 21, 2005 Featured Hell's Eventide Hell's Eventide is a great map. It's full of dark corridors connected by a central outdoor junction. This map was made by three people. Added May 17, 2005 Featured Sacrifices Sacrifices' strength is in its architecture. The map ranges from large indoor rooms with a metal theme to grassy outdoor areas. Added Mar. 10, 2005 Featured Galaxia Galaxia is a one-map wad for Doom 2. It uses a lot of tricks to enhance the graphics. It's an amazing map, and it's really fun. Added Mar. 3, 2005 Featured DoomEdit DoomEdit is a program from way back in 1994. It can open up a saved game and edit things like which weapons you have, how much health, etc. It can be useful if you save your game at the wrong point. It doesn't work with saved games from source ports. Added Feb. 27, 2005 Background Music From Doom -- Episode 2 Level 6 -- Halls of the Damned
