Wall Running in DOOM + DOOM II, E1M9 (Rerelease, Aug 9, 2024)

[@SandmanDP]

Holy crap! Knew it was only a matter of time before Xona was running Doom!

Xona has been running Doom since 1993! :) It was the most immersive game I had ever played. Full screen, no HUD, stereo headphones, all lights off, middle of the night, and face super close to a large (I believe 15" at the time) monitor. I was only getting 4 hours of sleep a night back then.

I was going to delete this video, and upload another -- since the E1M2 outside showcases great for this wall running, both in Third Person view, and in the overhead map view. But not now that you left a comment. :)

So yeah. I found this and thought it was a bug in the new Doom I + II ReRelease -- but apparently "wall running" is a known thing from the original game, and it's called "wallrunning". Welcome to 1993. I guess there were so many motion-stopping wall glitches that I just never got near them when I played the crap out of this game back in the 90's, so I had no idea.

It has the IDKFA soundtrack.

@Xonatron You can choose between the original and this remix. It's pretty cool. Every song is remixed making it interesting to play through all of the levels again.
