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.

Stay tuned for more. There are full resource packs that I’ll dig up and put online.
