@@DoomKid I might upload proper "studio" versions to my channel at some point. They are not stellar, but no generic MIDI player does them justice.

[@0zcar-bc6ju]

Big respect to you for uploading most of the WAD's from the 90's to the new doom update (KEX engine), including putting the author's name in the description. So those WAD's can get more recognition from people who play doom for the first time (Especially for people who play doom on console).

[@DoomKid]

You're very welcome!

[@WrldMach]

90's DOOM wads are just... a different breed. An art lost to time, and an art that can no longer be replicated. God bless the 90's 😔.

[@CUTIE_POXX]

I have an old Canadian CD from the mid-90s that contain hundreds of wads, a shareware copy of DOOM, and even a built-in level editor. Though I'm sure all these files can be found on the internet, it may be hard to dig through thousands of pages to find all of them, so it's cool to own a piece of what the community did back in the days.

[@vikeghawlimz965]

Nice! Do you plan to upload them to the internet anytime?

[@redredkrovy]

I remember there being an Aliens mod for the first Doom. It was sooooooooo awesome! It replaced textures, sound effects, enemies, weapons, and so on.

[@henryfreeman1256]

You're wrong. There never was an Aliens total conversion. You must be remembering something else.

[@Vintage9x]

The voice sample used for the switching to the chainsaw replacement In the Mortal Kombat Doom Mod is Sub-Zero saying "Fine" from Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero. He says it during the first cutscene with the Grand Master.

[@DoomKid]

Had no clue, thanks for telling me about this. I love MK bit never played mythologies.

As someone that didn't grow up with Doom mods in the 90's, I strongly appreciate these vids for showing me what it was like, especially since I've been on a big classic Doom binge lately.

[@UnchainedEruption]

Thanks. This video got me to start running custom wads through DOSBox rather than GZDoom. Makes for a more...authentic experience. Definitely feels more at home for 90s wads.

[@avieLT3lps]

Dude. You missed Aliens Doom with all the movie audio clips. Was my favorite. Bill Paxton always saying shit and the screams like “eat this!” “Lets rooooock! “Their coming outta the god damned walls!”

[@svavar82]

The first doom mod I played was in 1996 called Alien Doom, it was a full campaign and incredibly well made. However I still cannot find it or any reference of it yet. It felt almost on par with Dark Forces visually, not audibly. Thanks for your video, it made me download mods I hope I'll have time to play later.

[@gizmoduck4292]

[@TheCharnstar]

Does anyone remember Barney Doom? It was the first graphical Mod I ever downloaded and it introduced the idea of Doom mods. Follow closely by Simpsons Doom and Southpark Doom, finally moving onto Batman and Ghostbusters.

[@unclepatrick2]

Yes I enjoy Barney doom in the 2000’s .

[@MsLoquendo20]

Even though I have never been much of a fan of skin mods/hack which only are used to change graphics, i gotta Say that in the case of Doom, there are some that i appreciate quite fondly, like the DBZ mod which i used to play with Freedom 2 when i was a kid.

[@Mutant_Mods]

Bro you’re so good at making these listicle showcases of WADs.

[@DoomKid]

I'm so late in seeing this, but I appreciate that a lot, MM. Your channel is seriously has some of the best production value in the game right now!

[@prozacgodretro]

I actually managed to make that audio glitch happen when I was a kid. I had been been learning a lot about the doom was format and I was just setting random values in the wad file. And I set a couple of sound patches to have like a -1 size (4 billion on overflow). And doom played several of the audio effects all at once, since they were just in the wad file one after the next. I don't remember it playing as much as what you just said, but I probably stopped at before too long. I wonder what the sizes of the audio lumps are set too in that's batman wad file.

[@DoomKid]

Woah, really interesting info. I’ll have to check the size in the wad soon.

[@JunoJPG]

7:00 it sounds like he is saying fine in a "whatever ill do what you say" atitude

[@brzzzaaaPP]

"It took me about half an hour of fucking around just to figure that out" - LMFAO!!

[@GoreTorn16]

I remember downloading Starwars doom wad and DBZ back in the day. MEMORY UNLOCKED!

[@GBlastMan]

You know what mod made me love the Doom mod scene? a Dragon Ball Z gameplay mod, you had your kiensans, special beam canons, double sundays and of course the beast of the mighty Kame Hame Ha, of course all of this ones were literally doom weapons but with an anime skin on top of it, but damn was pretty damn rad to be in the shoes of Goku killing demons with energy balls from your hands, sadly i lost that wad in a HDD failure back in 2003, and i had been trying to find that old ass wad since then. Edit: ohh! that's the mod! its exactly as how i first saw it in a DBZ fanzine was so damn cool to use the Hame Ha wave and other powers and that blue weird looking hud, man this is pure nostalgia indeed.

[@pagb666]

I prefer the original stardoom. It's mind blowing to me that they built such gargantuan levels with DEU alone in 1994

[@DoomKid]

It really is impressive considering how hard DEU is to go back to

[@Mason1729]

I played heaps of Simpsons Doom back when I was little.

[@MaaZeus]

Oh hell yeah! The older Simpsons Doom and South Park Doom were the best! That cacophony on Simpsons/SP clips never cease to amuse me. I still love to play them from time to time, good memories.

[@Holygiant]

[@Josep_Hernandez_Lujan]

Sub Zero fought his clan when they wanted to turn him and his friend Smoke into cyborgs

[@zsombor_99]

I think the newer Simpsons mod is much better: correct voice lines, better sprites and also music for all doom levels. It also works with the original Ultimate Doom, but without custom music. 😊

[@MondySpartan]

I once played the South Park mod combined with the Embers of Armageddon, the Doom 2016 weapons mod. It was worth the mix.

[@j_c_93]

Holy fuck. I played most of these as a kid. You just brought back memories I didnt know I had.

[@Scurge237]

You know I've seen the star wars doom mod before but I never put two and two together that it would have directly influenced dark forces. Which is kinda dope. It spawned such an awesome game

[@0zetazetazeta0]

That reminds me, you should really look into the WolfenDoom scene. Laz Rojas made incredible WolfenDoom scenarios for the time. You'll be blown away by just how well made they are for a mid 90s wad.

6:55 he says "Fine". It comes from one of the first cutscenes in MK Mythologies: Sub-Zero. The complete line is: "Fine. I get into the temple. And then what? What's inside?". EDIT: Nevermind, I just noticed that someone else in the comments already said that.

[@greenknight9000]

How have you NOT put Sonic Robo Blast 2 on here? It's been in development for 20+ years! It's considered one of, if not THE best Doom mod of ALL time!

[@DoomKid]

These are all mods that were completed before 2000. SRB 2 is great, but it has come a long way, and was never a vanilla Doom mod, having been built from Doom Legacy. A really fun mod for sure though.

[@tj71520]

I loved all the old starwars mods back then :) reaaaally want to do a gzdoom starwars mod at some point with a mix of sprites, voxels and md3 models (there are many starwars quake 3 player models). I wondered about the similarities between the doom mod and the starwars game, cool that they were inspired by a mod

[@stormykeep9213]

"Fistful of Doom" Looks so much like the Lucasarts "Outlaws" game!

[@lukabrasi001]

Lucasarts really took notes from the doom modding community, didn't it

[@atarijaguarfan7893]

Thanks to Saintmillion's video on the development of Dark Forces we know that game was being worked on BEFORE Doom and the StarDoom mod although the team who was working on it got sent a beta of doom (probably the press release one) and I'm almost certain StarDoom was a pretty good outline for what Dark Forces could be at the time for the team at LucasArts

[@DoomHacker83]

Nothing I hadn't heard about before. But I was surprised Aliens TC by Justin Fisher wasn't on the list. Probably the most famous and historicly important mod of them all. It was the first ever total conversion for DOOM, made by one single guy which led to him getting job offers as game designer. Other ones that spring to mind are Zombies DOOM and Army of Darkness TC.

[@Hayden49]

Hey funny thing, in the Mortal Kombat Doom 2 in your vid the music that is playing first is NOT actually from Mortal Kombat. You can hear the difference halfway through. It's actually a 90's house song from the group 2 unlimited with the title Twilight zone.

[@patrickrobinsob1464]

Loved this video!!!! I remembered the first time I played Simpsons doom. Surprisingly I found it on Kazaa (anyone remember that?) and was stoked that it was even a thing so I downloaded it. Batman Doom was also a funny story. I didn’t know that some wads needed the dehacked patch to play correctly (mind you I was using ZDOOM at the time) so nothing worked correctly and I couldn’t beat the first level. Here are some mods I would recommend Army of Darkness doom Ghostbusters doom (sadly never finished) Final fantasy Doom The Tick doom Sonic Doom 2:Bots on Mobius Codename Hyena (you have to edit the wad and get rid of the Skin for it to work correctly) There’s tons more, but if i told you all of them I’d be here all day lol.
