Doom is the grandfather of the modern shooter, originating many of the things we've come to know and love about gory first-person experiences. But does it still hold up today? Yep. The PlayStation 1 port? Maybe not as much.

Join Jeff Marchiafava, Joe Juba, Andrew Reiner, and I as we blast through a few demon-infested levels, discuss the proper coloring of explosive barrels, and try to imagine a world in which something called the "fistol" exists. Stay tuned in for the Replay Roulette where I force Joe to play the PS1 adaptation of a TV show from my childhood. Spoiler alert: He is displeased.

Digging our commentary on top of old games? Check out a whole lot more of it -- over 100 episodes! -- on our Replay hub.

What a great thing to come home to!
by YepImAPersonWaving Saturday, October 29, 2011 at 02:14 PM

Alright, the next episode is up. Also, Joe Juba? Displeased? Unimaginable.

OMG a doom replay
by Another Matthew Saturday, October 29, 2011 at 02:21 PM

Yes! I loved doom!

I don't know why you didn't play the 360 version, the frame-rate was just painful to watch. =/

So Joe Juba likes Q from star trek, eh? Well John De Lancie recently played a role in My Little Pony: Friendship is magic. Now you have to watch it! >:P

I recently bought the ps1 port of Doom, got the longbox of it. I think they made it creepier with have atmospheric background music and with the new monster sounds. I also liked the new gun sounds. Interesting tidbit, the sound effects used in the ps1 port were used in Doom 64.

The controls for ps1 doom kinda suck only because we are used to dual analog controls now. PC Doom still plays well though and stand up today.

Fashionably late. I was getting worried for some time.
by PRjumpman124 Saturday, October 29, 2011 at 02:27 PM

Awwesome! I loved playing this back in the day. Let's see how it holds up.
by REDEMTIONDENIED Saturday, October 29, 2011 at 02:27 PM

RIP AND TEAR!!! This is perhaps the best game ever made!
by Boyzby Saturday, October 29, 2011 at 02:37 PM

I had the 32X version when I was a kid and boy was I horrible at it.
by David Craft Saturday, October 29, 2011 at 02:40 PM

didn't get the shotgun in the first level. And Doom 2 is included
by Lancehead255 Saturday, October 29, 2011 at 02:43 PM

You guys should get a PC in your Replay room. There are plenty of PC classics to revisit.
by backspacer Saturday, October 29, 2011 at 02:44 PM

And I thought today there was no Replay.

My weekend is now perfect.
by Zachary Pligge Saturday, October 29, 2011 at 02:53 PM

Oh Doom for the PS1, the hours of fun I had with you lol. Never liked the controls much though. And jeeeeeeze how is he not able to get out of that room haha!

I think I made it through maybe half of this power rangers game when it was released. Luckily I borrowed it out of boredom and lack of games to play at the time. Really don't think I'd want to go back to it lol.
by YouInfectMe Saturday, October 29, 2011 at 02:55 PM

And it still holds up as a really tight shooter.
by ZoMbIEx23x Saturday, October 29, 2011 at 02:59 PM

A "Fistol" would be a devastating weapon which would look like Brass Knuckles except that each knuckle would actually be a small barrel. Whenever you punch someone in the face with this devastating weapon, or anywhere else, the barrels would go off, shooting your enemy with 9mm bullets out of each Knuckle Barrel. Better than a power fist and Fallout 3 in general.

i love doom. even the movie was pretty awesome
by Joseph Saturday, October 29, 2011 at 03:01 PM

Someone really needs to find a picture of the pink power ranger with their black visor thing undone so you can see the fact, then crop and shop Dan's face into the helmet. Would be epic
