If you had to introduce an oldschool Doomer to ZDoom...
Re: If you had to introduce an oldschool Doomer to ZDoom...
Runaway Train, KDiZD, and Demon Eclipse, in that order.
MAYBE AEoD, but only if it is clearly stated that not all mods are so "clusterfuckish". (Don't get me wrong, I love it, but it could be overwhelming for someone who is just coming out of vanilla.)

You know, a WAD I got a couple of my Doom-stupid friends into with was ZBloodpack. Yeah, it's mediocre-to-average vanilla maps with every single Doom, Heretic, and Hexen texture thrown in, coupled with all of the Weapon and Monster resource wads, but it's still a fun time an it got my friends into ZDoom, so yeah. 
Although neither of them want to learn to map or code. So I'm a god to them.

Have to admit Thunderpeak (plus the one after it in ZPack) is a good shout.

Void was the first true Zdoom wad I played (if you don't count ZD, that was my first sourceport) and that blew me away, so I would almost certainly show that, KDIZD like many have said...and some others~

FUCK YES and Mock2 just to show them how far we have come with our level making skills!leileilol wrote:do-tims

Am I the only person who thinks introducing ZDoom to an oldschool Doomer is a bit strange.
Surely you want to intoduce ZDoom to someone interested in a source port, or game egine, which is feature rich, not someone who prefers things how they were?

Doomsday of UAC (UAC_DEAD). You can finish it in ZDoom, but not in Doom anymore.

Depends. I was talking about someone who is completely unaware of source ports with enhanced features.Siggi wrote:Am I the only person who thinks introducing ZDoom to an oldschool Doomer is a bit strange.

ZDCP Take 1, and Daedalus
Actually, I have yet to introduce myself to those two projects, so here I go.....
I don't hear much about it, so did daedalus flop, or was it boring? Though I guess it doesn't introduce the doomer to MODERN ZDoom anyways.
