Prboom is the ultimate doom port for those interested in either watching "demos" (recordings of players playing the game) or wanting to play the game in as "pure" a fashion as is possible on our modern operating systems. Other ports of doom tend to modify monster behaviour in one way or another. If on the otherhand you are interested in playing Doom with more modern graphics, then Doomsday is clearly the superior option.
its a ok app but(7/25/2006 - version 2.4.3)
There is already a OSX port of doom/heretic and hexen. it's call Doomsday. Why is this app not on Macgamefiles.com it's so much better than this app. Any ways here is the anet addy for Doomsday. www.doomsdayhq.com much better but it app is ok if you want the real old sytle textures.
