Yeah, seems likely. I'll have to come back and check this out later.

I recently found my Doom 3 CDs and tried installing it on Win10, but apparently doesn't work out of the box on 64-bit (crashes at start) without manually patching for using > 2 GB of RAM from the cursory googling I did.

If this does work later, will have to show it to my 11 year old step son. Was hoping to freak him out with Doom 3 when I found my disks (he loves shooters & scary movies, so thought he might get a kick out of it).

You can also get a Doom 3 Steam key right now from several places for less than $2.

That's the BFG Edition, though, which, in my opinion, isn't nearly as good as the original. I liked the dynamic of needing to use the flashlight and some of the other tweaks made to the BFG edition ruin the feel of the game a little. That being said, it did also make some improvements but to each their own.

I believe Steam has both editions. There are certainly different store entries for "Doom 3" and "Doom 3: BFG Edition".

You are correct! I didn't realize you could get the original edition on Steam. It wasn't on there for a while.

Sidenote: The Doom 3 BFG edition also gives you the original Doom games although they've been nerfed a little from the original. (e.g., the stimpacks no longer have the little crosses on them because of a lawsuit from the Red Cross)

Even though its a mere $2, on the principle of the matter, I dont want to pay it as I still have my original CDs, plus the expansion.

Yeah, it loaded in about a minute when I found it.

Local HN submitter ruins everything :(
