The first screenshot is E1M1 of Doom. The other 3 look to be from Doom2.

Those look like the regular old Ultimate Doom / Doom II 1.666 to me. Maybe they're glDoom or some other update, but I think they're the original graphics.
someone is out there who will like you. take off your mask so they can find you faster. I support the new Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun.

Those are FAR from the original gfx. The ones in the screenshots look like actual 3d models. None of the official Doom games or patches ever had those.

I'd agree with Locke here, I have all the original Doom games on my PC up to Plutonia. I just played it five minutes ago and the graphics posted here are definitely not the same.

I'm 80% positive that this is Doom/DoomII using the Vavoom source port with their own MD2 3D models. For more information and download link check out Vavoom - the most advanced source port engine However, Vavoom is not the only one to have support for MD2 models. If I recall correctly, the Doomsday engine has support for MD2 models as well, and the Doomsday engine is much more frequently updated and looks a bit nicer. Check out more at the DoomsdayHQ but last I checked, the links for the MD2 models were not working. Hmm... For a source port with a lot more features, most frequent updates, online multiplayer support and cross-platform development, I'd whole-heartily recommend Doom Legacy.

After checking out a few screenshots, this is definitely the Doomsday engine at work. Now, if anyone can find a link to download the 9MB pack of MD2 models, anyone with the doom wad files can experience the 3D goodness themselves.

A third the fun of doom is playing with sprites... I have so many memories of each of their animations, angles, etc etc. Another third is remembering each level as you play it. The last third is the sound.

I don't think anyone can forget the sounds of Doom. Like that gurgling sound the imps make.
I like my "thank you"s in monetary form.

Well, jDoom doesn't use the doom.exe/doom2.exe files. It has it's own exe. First thing you do is put Doom.wad and/or Doom2.wad in the directory you want to install jDoom in. Then you download and install: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/deng/deng-inst-1.8.0.exe?download Then download and install: ftp://jfiles@server1.thefourwinds.net/jdoom/models/jdoom_mpack.exe

Yes Torn, you should read previous messages before posting something that's already been talked about.

i can't believe you guys actually prefer these graphics... telling from the snapshots they looks pretty shitty to me. if they used polys hell why not use A FEW MORE POLYS / MODEL??? did they really have to put models with 500 faces each?? omg this snapshot looks pretty messy: my opinion is: doom is a classic, if your gonna change it, you better change to something incredibly good. these models looks terrible! :drool: the sprites are far better

please dont call it terrible until youve played it. just becuase one screen shot is not amazing, doesnt mean the game sucks. classic doom is much better with jumping and freelook capabilities. and, how can you say the models suck? i mean...honestly. the old models had like 3 frames of animation. at least these are somewhere in the ballpark of 3-d
