Doomsday and projects like jDoom have kept the game going well into the 21st century, with support for high resolution graphics and textures, OpenGL, new character models, particle effects, high-quality audio and a whole host of hacks, tweaks, mods and fixes for Doom, Doom 2, Final Doom, Hexen and Heretic.
It also brings 16-player multiplayer and native support to Windows XP/Vista, MacOS, and Linux/Unix.
It’s a piece of gaming history that’s been sadly losing ground with time. There has even been trouble keeping some of files hosted online.
That’s just not right.
Here’s Doomsday:
Doomsday 1.9 beta-5 for Windows
Doomsday 1.9 beta-5 for Linux/Unix
Here are some of the addons:
To install addons, place the .pk3 into the “/doomsday/snowberry/addons” folder.

Texture pack for other front ends
Stay tuned for more. There are full resource packs that I’ll dig up and put online.
More good stuff happening at the New Doom Forums
To say the least, this upgrade for the original Doom is ABSOLUTELY amazing. The screenshots don’t even justify how well the characters are rendered. If you were ever a fan of any of the original Doom/Hexen games, this is the download for you!
