The original 1993 Doom is still playable on PC (via ports or emulators), offering fast-paced FPS action, demon-slaying, and iconic levels like ‘E1M1: Hangar.’ For PC players who played Doom in the 90s or discovered it later, what makes this classic still fun today—Was it the simple yet satisfying gunplay (shotgun blasts, rocket launchers), the retro pixel graphics (with gory demon deaths), or the ability to mod the game (adding new levels, weapons, or even total conversions like ‘Brutal Doom’)? How does the 1993 Doom compare to modern Doom games (Eternal, 2016 reboot)—Did the original’s faster movement and lack of cutscenes make it more focused on action, or do you prefer the modern games’ story and more complex combat? Additionally, Doom has a massive modding community that’s active decades later—What’s your favorite Doom mod, and how did it extend the game’s lifespan (e.g., adding co-op, new enemies, or a entire new campaign)? Finally, playing the original Doom on a modern PC is easy—Do you think it’s a must-play for new FPS players, to understand the genre’s roots, or is it too outdated for someone used to modern graphics and mechanics?
