MetaDoom: play Doom inside of Doom 3

[Man|-|unter]

Regardless of what it says about the merits of id's latest creepy corridor crawler, it is possible to play Doom 1 inside Doom 3. Why, you ask? It's not because Doom 3 is so dark, you'd rather play Doom 1 in the glow of a terminal screen; rather, the Terminal Doom project is a proof of concept study of "fully interactive surfaces." To that end, the mod creator writes, "In more than one respect, Terminal Doom itself is a dead end."

Awww, but that doesn't mean you can't try it out. All you'll need is the retail version of Doom 3, either the shareware or retail version of Doom 1, and some patches and you're set to go. The in game arcade cabinets are pretty great also.

Whoa, that's pretty cool!

I always found the arcade machines in Doom 3 to be fun, especially those found in RoE. Wasting 10 minutes playing a arcade machine is great when you're in fact trying to save Mars. :E

Cool stuff.

reminds me of arcade games in donkey kong 64, except doom 3 wasn't nearly as awesome

HOLY CRAP YES. DK64 was one of the best games ever. My brother and I used to play that multiplayer like it was Halo 2.

So Doom 3 has become just another source port for Doom 1.

The irony is delicious.

I enjoyed Doom 3. It was a pretty solid game, to be honest.

Considering it's one of the pinacles *sp* of FPS history, I'd hope it's reveared as the Best Game Ever.

If you take into account the timing and situation, then maybe. But at the same time, you'd figure PONG would offer a good fight for the title
