This post's for the old DOS gamers like me that might like these A LOT as I do, but use modern Win32 OS' like NT-based ones (2000/XP/2003 etc.)...
If you're NOT aware of these? You might want to be...
Especially if you have these old games!
Some of the screenshots are BIG & pigs, OR on SLOW sites (like NewWolf 3D) so low-bandwidth folks? My apologies - I didn't take the shots!
Still, they're worth noting anyhow imo! HOPEFULLY, yours too!
It's almost like getting new ones, & breathes "NEW LIFE" into them is why... if you're low on dough? It's a ticket to fun on the cheap, because of the great free work others have done!

JHexen & JHeretic have some really NEAT things in them, & multiplayer OpenGL from what I read up on it is even working in JHexen!
This is great, I can play GLHeretic, the first one in this series now again & also GLHexen basically now with modernized display engines!
(NOW thanks to this programmer Jaako Haarkonen (interesting guy, I read his BIO, ex-military man too) has made that possible for us all, & VERY high quality work!)
I love the NEW controls options, freelook, & even sound and display options available... not only the OpenGL'ness of it now! Heck, even the options menu "Zooms" to the screen fading in as it creates itself, a nice touch!

EXCELLENT as well... this is probably still one of my fav games of all time, as primitive as it is with all right angled walls and single floor levels only & what-not but the atmosphere & suspense is there in it like the original.
I especially liked the ability to change the controls with the mouse now, I can click on the right button to move forward!
The original by IDSoftware/Apogee did not offer such an option.
For me personally?
This is great, because I used to play the original SO long thru the night my right shoulder was sore from pushing the mouse around my desk to move forward!
LOL, I am a mouser in First Person Shooters, no "up-button" forward moving for me here!
(I wish 2 things would happen for it: Mouse Free-Look & also the ability to save games seems to be not working for me at this point!)
Still, the young Russian Fellow, DarkOne has done a tremendous job so far & lent life to an old game for me here...
------------------------------------------------------------------
(Definitely, a SMILEY face on these! Great nostalgia, & great rebirth of the old classics by ALL means! If you're NOT aware of these & you're a gamer? It'd be an injustice imo! Enjoy if you have not heard of these & this is news to you... by all means!)
These oldies/classics First Person Shooter Games?
They were designed for performance on 486's... they absolutely SAIL/FLY on today's Pentium III or better!
(It was like getting ALL new games outta these oldies to be honest, old ones I really got into since I still think DOS based games had better gameplay & plot + atmosphere vs. the technology & 'flash' concentration in games I see today a lot in the First Person Shooter Genre, my fav!)
This is a post that has been a BIG 'hit' with over 50,000 or so combined views from others @ other 4 forums over time, & some info. you may not be aware of, & like!
Info. that a fellow named PMistry (as I know him as from online over the years now) inspired me to do as well as turned me onto parts of over time!
Ones I didn't know about even, @ other forums in their gaming sections over the years & now, imported here to these forums!

I think the only problem I'm having with JDoom now is that I can't seem to enable jump. I mapped it to space in the standard controls section, but nothing. Still awsome. Thanks for the thread.
