Hey everybody,
I consider this community as a classic gaming community in which most members played Shock 1 and 2 when they were young and fresh (the games, not the people
![:P :P](https://www.systemshock.org/Smileys/sbf/tongue.png)
). As great as these games are, there were and are still other great games back then and some of are also supported by a loyal fanbase creating ports or even remakes for systems today which might be interesting to all of you.
So, why not talk about it and share some information about how the other evergreens are doing today ?
Port: Doomsday
Game(s): id software and Raven Software classic first person shooters, including: Doom/The Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, Heretic (including addon "Shadow of the Serpent Riders"), Hexen (including addon "Deathkings of the Dark Citadel).
Notes: Doomsday is an easy to configure port, one of the best features is the addon feature which gives players the option to import much better graphics, music and even polygon models. Multiplayer is supported.
