| The Best DOOM? |

It's funny that you ask, because I just played Doom 64 for the first time ever about two days ago. I couldn't believe how good it was. It's difficult to answer your question though. SNES had better sound than 32x, but 32x looked better (despite the smaller window). I know you don't own it, but Jaguar port looks better than 32x and SNES, but doesn't have music (WTF). I also have the Saturn version, but I haven't really played it enough to say how I feel about it. 32x version is the only one I've actually played all the way through (not counting PC version). I actually enjoyed the 32x version. I forgot about the small window after just a few minutes. I did it the day I bought it. I put it in to test it and didn't turn it off until after I beat it. I don't own the PS1 version, but I really want it. I actually want to eventually have every port of Doom (I also need the 3DO version). |

Well I looks like if I want everything I can get out of this game, I'm going to have to have multiple versions of the port lol. Kind sucks but whatever. It's pretty sad that no single doom is like another doom. @TDI The Saturn version is pretty good except for 1 thing. Frame rate drops.... And it literally lags so bad that your jaw will drop just like the frame rate... I believe it has a n extra level in it. |

It really is hard to pick one version that is the best. :-X |

The original PC version is still the best, which can be had on Steam of next to nothing. However, I still prefer to play the original, in DOS, on old hardware. But if neither of those are options I think that the best console port is probably the PS1 version. Though there are differences from the PC version. |

I'm not much of a PC gamer, but this is one of the games that I want to try and get and older DOS computer setup to play this game again (along with Dark Forces and Duke Nukem 3D). I played the hell out of those games back in the day. |
