A decent freebie from Epic Games to celebrate Quakecon. This game is now available to redeem.

If its free its me! I did get the Nintendo Switch version upon release and have since completed it on Xbox as well.
If you already played the original Doom a couple of times, I recommend trying Brutal Doom (PC). A more violent and exhaustive version of the first two games: more animations, weapons etc while keeping the original atmosphere intact.
It's free.And do it in VR, it's how you remember DooM, but on a whole new level!
It's the same level though isn't it? you can't jump, and there is only one height
How do you play in VR? Brutal Doom supports VR?
Yes, I played through Doom 1 and 2 and all expansions, Quake and Hexen in VR. I'm currently in the middle of Doom 3 and it's glorious!
Best to google some tutorials, and it's super easy. When you install QuestZDoom from a program called SideQuest (it sideloads everything onto the Quest via PC) it already had a whole bunch of existing mods, one of them being Brutal Doom. Other mods included in it are like 3d models for all the weapons, updated textures.
Doom 64 is on the list there next for me!
Where does one download brutal doom?
Thank you!
Yes but can I run this on my tractor though?
Only if it is a John Deere
Any John Deere bargains on after pay with cash back?
15% on eBay?
Runs better on a toaster
I prefer to play Doom on a pregnancy test https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/a33957256/this-prog…
Doom 64 only runs on a Commodore 64.

Doom 64? Now THAT was a game sips Monster
Hm. Was there another freebie this week? (Content packs don't count imho)
It's normally only one a week.
Bought this a month or so ago for a couple bucks off GOG. Only installed and played about 5 Mins. D'oh!
Those system requirements are insane
So strange.
Iconic PC game ported to console, ported back to PC.The n64 game was its own thing. More like a total conversion than a port.
Definitely not a port, the levels are all completely different and some of the weapons too.
Doom II is my favourite
Cool I guess someone will use this to hack in to tractors
got it, thanks OP.
but: had to sign up with Epic AND with Bethseda. there's no such thing as free.
the default key bindings are insane, Weapon choices not bound, odd options… changing them to the way the original Doom used to work is actually difficult, and you wind up binding multiple keys in addition to the key you don't want to an option.
Yes, I had to restore to default bindings and start over as multiple keys were allowed on controls. Weird.
But, got it to my original doom bindings.
I thought weapon choice was bound to numbers….
yes, weapons are numbers - but how 4 and 0 are not bound and they're out of sequence is weird. I've gone to defaults multiple times and still can't get it right
also strange to see the 3D DOOM64 title with little monsters crawling all over it. Not knowing what I'd run into and discovering and being surprised by the increasing horror was a big part of the original gameplay for me.
Can you install Doom64 via Epic first, and then add on the brutal doom mod? Will that work?
Anyone else's game get stuck after clicking start?
same. We'll have to wait for an patch I suppose.
Yep
Man, played this when I was like 8 in 1990s, still remember the golden eye, walking through walls and unlimited ammo cheats. Wonder htf we knew about them when there was no internet at the time 😂
Error in checkout for me.
"The request you have submitted is invalid, please try again later."Worked for me just now
A funny memory I have about Doom itself was about more than 20 years ago to this date and my brother who had played it before me told me that Doom is literally the scariest game he's ever played. He said, "Everything's so dark and you can't see the zombies / monsters until they're almost in your face." And true enough it's like that when I first loaded the game. Didn't proceed playing simply because I was scared of darkness and didn't see the point of playing a game where you can't see things.
The in-game screenshots I saw from these deals makes me realise, it was simply the quality of both the CRT monitor and the possibly non-existent graphics card in the old PC (added with pirated copy of the game) that meant the low quality graphics.
So kudos to those who played and finished the original Doom with the old beatup PC
The pirate version of the game added a graphics card?
Or am I reading it wrong and you played the shareware version with no GPU and added one when you got the pirate version?
Did you guys try maxing the in-game brightness? Without a GPU the software render should've been brighter than playing it with a GPU as it skips a bunch of the lighting.
I used to play OG Doom on my 586 with Toni Braxtons, 'Unbreak my heart' playing on the CD Drive.
Good times.
