How To Install and Play DOOM on Windows 10 in Hi-Resolution
Introduction
In continuing with retro gaming we now will cover one of the games that started it all with DOOM. We will be installing DOOM on Windows 10 in Hi-Resolution. For this to work you will need to have a registered or purchased version of DOOM, the shareware version will not work. Head over to GOG.com and get a copy for a great price. I recommend Ultimate DOOM.
Installation
There are several pieces you will need to download.
- While there are much better ways to play Doom on Android, like the official port released last year by Bethesda, it's a good example of how the setup process usually goes with DOS games.
- Play in the legendary game DOOM in browser. (Uploaded by: @evilution) Powered by js-dos.com.
