The Good Old Days - Doom II [CO-OP]

Harsh Gaming writes:

"It has been fourteen years since Doom II: Hell on Earth's release. That is a longer lifespan than many of our readers. In 2009, FPS' command adjectives like 'immersive', 'breathtaking' and 'dynamic'. In 1994 all that mattered was the Super Shotgun and a banging midi soundtrack. DOS was ruling the PC scene and internet gaming was beginning to get its feet off the ground. By the late 90's it became obvious that Video Gaming was no longer an independently coded hobby, but a viable business sector that had the potential to eclipse other mediums of digital entertainment. Game companies lost their experimental edge and began to focus on protecting their assets and honing financial management. It all got a bit boring."

is there a free download for this anywhere?

Snoozer2825997d ago

Legally we're talking no :(. Doomsday is free, but you need a copy of Doom / Hexen etc.

I picked it up cheap in the steam sale as well, shame it's kinda high again. Will give this a try myself. Need a break from L4D :D

buffy3865997d ago

you can get the collectors edition with all the dooms for like 10 bucks on amazon.com

digger185997d ago

ah Doom

When the first Doom came out, all I had was a 386 sx25 and this was the game that made me upgrade my PC to a 486 dx66 with 4mb of ram.

Those were good days :)

And don't we F*cking know it!

I remember when the shareware first came out. My Friend and I sat by his computer for nearly an hour installing the software off of floppy disks (!), and played the entire first episode from start to finish. Soon after, he got the full game and I would come over to his house almost every day, and him and I would take tuns playing each level, or alternating turns when one of us would die. We were young still, and I didn't have a computer back then, so we never got the chance to try out co-op / netplay.

This was back in the day when Packard Bell computers were still a big name in pre-assembled systems, which shows how old this game really is. It stands the test of time even today, as I still play this more than any other game in my collections on both PC and console.

Simply amazing...

Doom 2 (full) : legally available from (what I believe is a legitimate site) http://files.filefront.com/...

Oh man, Doom 2. One of the first games I played multiplayer over modem, way back in the day. 14.4k baud modems. Then 28.8k! Dhack! The memories!

But then, I was introduced to 4-player Doom 2 over modem (players with 2 phone lines). That was intense!

Ahhhhh, the memories!
Thank goodness for Doomsday and jDoom (although, I kinda miss messing with Dos Editing)

Those two programs are great!

Also, JRisen is good too, its really easy to set up all the packs, it basically does it for you and corrupts less than JDoom.

I'd love to see something official in Doom but that would NEVER happen

Even a key chain of her you can attach to your gun or something

I don't think this list is accurate.

Fishy Fingers3000d ago (Edited 3000d ago )

Seems the author agreed with you:

"Depending on where you find information, the numbers can varying quite a bit, as well as the ones that duke it out for the top 10 slots".

Wiki paints a vastly different picture https://en.m.wikipedia.org/...

Even Gary's Mod etc is over 10m.

Sciurus_vulgaris2999d ago

Then he shouldn't have wrote an article titled "The 10 Highest Selling PC Games of All Time".

INMATEofARKHAM3000d ago

It's not... The first and most obvious flaw is that at its highest point of popularity Wow had 12 million subscribers but the list says less than 7 million copies sold.

AcidDvl2999d ago

Lmao, didn't WOW had like 12 millions active players at one time?

And the best selling Sims was 2.

"Diablo 3 has just past 30 million in sales"
AUG 5, 2015

30 million. 2 years ago. That is more than every Uncharted game... Combined.
Just let that sink in for a minute.

freshslicepizza2999d ago

and people think online enabled games don't curb piracy.

Razzer2999d ago

Sink in? Is this supposed to be surprising?

jacob_roachge2999d ago

Hey guys. The numbers were from Statista, which is much more accurate than Wikipedia. I don't make them up. These are the best selling boxed PC games of all time and the units that were sold worldwide as of January 2017. All of that was mentioned in the article. Thanks for checking it out.

xwabbit2999d ago (Edited 2999d ago )

I think you should of used steamspy(for at least steam only games), cs:go almost has 28 mil

Razzer2999d ago

They are only counting physical sales.

Razzer2999d ago

Retail sales? Of PC games? LOL

Amorist892999d ago

The number 1 spot genuinely surprised me, especially as it was cross platform.
