Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Grab your BFG and play Doom in your browser - Time Waster
This one really takes me back. As soon as I saw the opening screen, I could picture a dozen people crammed into my dorm room watching my roommate and I deathmatch over our awesome null modem cable.
Yes, Doom 1 has been recompiled in Flash from the original source. It plays just like I remembered the original, and could definitely become a giant Time Waster for anyone else who was hooked on Doom when it was first released.
Playing through a few levels almost made me forget how terrible the movie was (sorry, Dwayne).
There's no music, but I usually had that shut off and listened to my Discman. All the old cheat codes work as well: in case you've forgotten, IDDQD activates "degreelessness" and IDKFA will enable all weapons, keys, and ammo, and boost your armor to 200%. Not that I'm saying you'll need to cheat, but when you remember something like that after 14 years, you give it a try to see if it still works.
You'll need Flash 10 to play, and a non-PowerPC computer to run it.
By the way: if you also enjoyed Heretic (think Medieval Doom with a crossbow), you can find an updated Shockwave version of it on this site.
Thanks, Blake!

Might help if you put a link to the game you're talking about in the article.

I tried that flash version before, and: (1) it comes complete with all the secret areas (at least through level E04), (2) you could not IDKFA to get a BFG. I didn't play it through to where you could get a BFG, so maybe I mis-remember the cheat behavior. Slightly misleading title, but still fun to bask in the "good old days."

Demo WAD had no BFG...

Unusable frame rate on my current-generation iMac. Plus that damn Kongregate "chat" window is annoying as hell.

Maybe is flash that's acting up on you... (it could be OSX) because Windows XP, Vista AND Linux can play it right.

OMG I cant believe it, a few weeks ago I downloaded a "hi-res" version of Doom AND Duke Nukem 3D and LOVE IT! What a trip down memory lane!

Gahh! It's so ingrained for me that Ctrl is shoot and Space is open that I keep shooting at doors and trying to open enemies.
