DOOM | Early Alpha Versions

[Ajaskadic22]

First song is:Doom Ost - Faceing the Spider

Second song is:Doom Ost - At Doom's Gate

[AtomicToast15]

Wow, v0.2 is my birthday.

[MoltenMustafa]

Whoa, it looks like the view is angled slightly downward. That would bug the hell outta me.

[44automag117]

Hehe Man-if this gets out, you can all kiss your autographed doom hint-books goodbye

[mkaali]

9:21 Holy mutherfucking shit! The BFG was much cooler in the beta than in the final release!

[TheLiamclink]

why did they have to change the HUD. the first one made it look realistic like you see the inside of the ,ask. like in real life

[xBurnQuack]

It's sad that I can't tell if the beginning is crappy/cheesy editing or just 90's

[killkenny5000]

@xBurnQuack WELL OF COURSE ITS 90s

[ackar18]

UNHOLY BIBLE THAT WOULD BE COOL IN THE GAME

[TheBritishBits]

How do you get to E1M10 on V.04? It says in the file type in "Doom E1M10/E1M11" but I don't know where to type it in and it's pissing me off not being able to get any info off the internet...

[TheBritishBits]

How do you get these to run on Vista? I've got V.04 but I can't run it, and I've tried compability mode...

[MetalMilitia2012]

The Shotgun looks far far better than the finished version imo

[iLikeTheUDK]

@CuteFloor where did you get that soundfont? "At Doom's Gate" sounds great with this.

[NotGood1024]

I want a skullchest!

[TheWaynelds]

i hate myself because im a stupid piece of shit. I deserve to get raped in the ass by a 1000 midgets and ran over by a car 100 times while rebecca black sings friday over and over again at 10,000dBs until my ears bleed so much that it fills the room im in and drowns me while i get my gizzards chewed on by hungry vultures that havent been fed in 5 weeks.

[pow1983]

Doom 3 doesnt compete, doesnt even come close, why because corporate strategy took over

[samusmex]

wow, many of this maps are from the episode 2. i wonder how would be if they remake the game as they first wanted with new-gen technology

[iLikeTheUDK]

where did you get that soundfont? "At Doom's Gate" sounds great with this.

[iovandrake]

Doors are forbidden!

[XTheDentist]

Ahhh instant nostalgia, reminds me of the good ole days when the world was awake. Now everyone is under a spell of some sort.

[TheRogueMonk]

when you get to the last update you get chills cause it is such a great achievment and super update... at their time it was the best of the best technology

[TheRogueMonk]

i recently saw their video on rome.ro where they talk about how they made this...

doom is still the best ftps to me for SO many reasons..

[TheRogueMonk]

when did you get this? .... from john or from someone who knows john?

[TheLakiSoft2013]

Jules sucks! What the fuck that means?

[TheOtherLioyd]

@TheLakiSoft2013 I hear 'Jules' was the nickname of Adrian Carmack, the lead artist. ('Tom' refers to Tom Hall, another of the devs.)

[TheSupersizemario]

i went to e1m2 and i don't remember an unholy bible so was it removed in the beta version of is it on a harder difficalty or what

[DGX24]

that bfg is crazy!

[4131025]

7:43 what is the music? I know it is Sign of Evil but it sounds different

[juan4166210]

lol bfg 900 in the pre-reelase alfa

[BimLanders]

It's interesting to consider that if the finished game looked like the alpha, then it still would have blown people away back in 1993. But the fact that the actual game is so much more refined is the reason why DOOM endures today rather than being a footnote in gaming history.

[mattpaulnewton]

AH! I'm motion sick just from watching this!

[Clobia]

So forever alone.

[Amaranthus616]

i quite like the idea of having marines with you and the attack happens....rather than just being put in the thick of it. oh well, at we have doom 3 for that

but there are a lot of office things i see in this video that had they been in the complete doom....it would have added a lot more atmosphere and the levels would have felt more like they were supposed to be

[Amaranthus616]

@Amaranthus616 *at least

[MegaEmil9]

I wonder why in the Press Release of Doom there were items like a skullchest, unholy bible and an evil sceptre. Would it be like Heretic? Or, wait. Doom was first, Heretic came later.

[RebelKnightCSA]

I see eight people miss their autographed Doom hintbooks hehe

[vgcatsfan1]

JULES SUCKS JULES SUCKS JULES SUCKS

[4131025]

the first one is ZX Spectrum Doom

[10samm10]

@4131025 Don't be stupid

[Xeros612]

I can definitely say I like the Alpha version's movement sway better. I don't mind 0.2's HUD either, but it's a bit too cluttered for 320x200. Some of the extra details like the lockers are pretty cool too.

[trancelistic]

Awsome video. Thanks for sharing



[NBVestal]

6:00 - medkit from Wolfenstein

[RUSRhythmic]

0:40 Wow. This HUD looks eerily similar to the layout of modern shooters. You know, with a bunch of clutter. I'm still glad that the ended up just keeping the "status bar" on the bottom.

[TheRogueMonk]

@RUSRhythmic it is cuase they were planning to make it a rpg.. i dont mind.. i wish it had been a rpg...

to me the doom hud with the face should come back .. now we could get a real 3d face and expressions... i am sad we dont have

[TheRogueMonk]

@RUSRhythmic doom a simply master piece .. to me no fps has surpassed doom.. if it has let me know

[Vidyadude]

@RUSRhythmic

Actually most modern games have a smaller and less visible hud than the original doom.

[sebaufiend]

Sweet jesus that BFG was awesome

[gadgetmanjay]

doom 1 was scarier than doom 3

[JBKiller103]

FIring Tom Fulp was ID's biggest mistake. He is the king of all game creators, and we are his humble servents.

[MedalpiXel]

Thimb this up if they shouldve kept the visor

[SturmKorps]

@MedalpiXel

They should have kept the friendly Marines.

[0takuMetalheadGamer]

I love that your pov was in the visor/helmet in the first version :D

[morgonfr33m4n1337z]

i like how the skyline n the pre-beta looks more mars-like

[Ellisthemechanic]

Who here thinks that this game is a million times better than Modern Warfare 3?

[Clay3613]

The "gun sway" is making me motion sick. :\

[kevgmei]

But still count the chainsaw as a gun.

[kevgmei]

eey should have kept the rifle and made it how it is, then made the minigun 3x the power of the rifle, shotgun 2x rifle power, plasma twice the minigun, rocket like 10 plasma, and the BFG and minigun have their separate ammo and make the BFG 4x as powerful as the Rocket. Also it could be cool if there was a specific melee button (pref. click the right stick on Xbox), and upgrade from fist, knuckles, spiked knuckles, conductor to shock with melee, claws, sword, flaming sword, lightsaber.

[Wesley683]

if you have a copy of this, you are NAUGHTY

[Melnorme]

It's interesting that the HUD is much more intrusive and stylized in that first version. Is that supposed to be an imitation of System Shock's interface?

[HelllordxD]

@Melnorme I guess they wanted to make it look like you actually wear the helmet of the Doom Protagonist (You - the unnamed - Doom Guy :D) so that you have a feeling like in a sci-fi scene or better said that it looks like you're a high-tech doom marine who can kill everything and everyone. I guess it was dropped cuz it takes away alot of the field of view you have and might caused some bugs too... (that's just me)

[JoeyRavnYT]

@Melnorme Doom came out a year before System Shock.

[Melnorme]

@JoeyRavnYT Yeah, I got confused with Ultima Underworld.

[DaftPunkIsDaFunk]

Dude I want an evil septre in Doom...

[slakedeath]

Wtf!? Why They´re hating me?

[slakedeath]

WTF? WHY THEYRE HATING ME?

[SolusAgomor]

a log of the work done, the stages that doom went trough, from the first line of programming until hitting the stores; that would be something interesting for reading.

[MegaEmil9]

where can i get the final music of doom? (exactly a playlist)

[InsanimationStudios]

What weapon was that in the second-to-last demo? A rifle? A shotgun? A flying monkey made deathray?

[ZolleriuxX]

8:51

"You pick up an unholy bible."

Should've been in the final version.

[Xchaos5673X]

@ZolleriuxX Yea and the Evil Sceptre, man I can't believe they left that kinda stuff out, the game was about demons and shit. Although that would have made even a bigger target for "Violent games" haters back then.

[theant1987]

@Xchaos5673X Too much like Wolfenstein, opening a secret wall just to find treasure for useless points and extra lives. Besides, if I were in Doom Guy's shoes I'd not want to be carrying their books. Might do some freaky Evil Dead stuff.

[Xchaos5673X]

@theant1987 Evil dead was a good fuckin movie though. Bruce Kambell would make the perfect doomguy for a movie.

[DrHouse224]

Hi is there any way to download it? I want to have that !!!

Sorry for my bad english.

[startrek1992]

Can i download this somewhere?

[AzraelLeichten]

@startrek1992 Yeah, but actually getting them to work is tricky. Go to the doom wiki, it has step by step instructions on where to download and how to make them work.

[dark6gothic6master6]

weapon sprites from old doom versions are cool

[FanatecSystem]

WOW! nice helmet cam :DD

[TecnoFisico]

@FanatecSystem This Helmet are the good screen to me. And the Gam Correction and the map at Tab, for me, is the helmet screen in the 90's, but at this times in the 90's i never see another versions (did you understand? My english is not good today). ;)

[FanatecSystem]

@TecnoFisico yeah i understood you ;)

[FCKundo]

thank god they changed the BFG killing effect

[JackXIII]

@FCKundo Actually, the BFG in the beta pre-release actually looked like it'd be more effective than the current one

[digimbyte]

This was HISTORY in the making!

[DarkShadowRage2]

: "man if this gets out you can kiss all your autographed doom handbooks good bye!"

[PortalJumper98]

JULES SUCKS! TOM IS KING!

[0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

@PortalJumper98

I like them both.

[wachtingone]

This not the real alpha version is it

[vorteksio2]

demonic dagger, evil scepter unholy bible.... what was purpose of those items? I guess they were like gold in wolf-3d.

And i think that id deciced to remove them, because the game would be too satanistic.

[Marnetmar666]

@vorteksio2

Well, that and memory constraints. Did you know that Doom was originally intended to have animated interactive computer panels, slopes and bullet holes in walls?

[cowguy666]

3:58 must have been an early E1M2 !

[m0rtacciTUA]

THIS VIDEO REALY SUCKS

[deeerp1]

@m0rtacciTUA NO YOU

[m0rtacciTUA]

this video sucks

[boustaunit]

The items of pre-doom were very peculiar looking

[boustaunit]

Those items on the ground were very peculiar

[Cow8ox]

hah the BFG near the end is awesome :D!!!

[DJthemastermind]

I like some of the animations, especially the weapon bobbing and the old movespeed mechanics.

[DistortedMannequin]

DOOM?! Nah... it's more like HEAVEN

[acbillydee]

Actually, it all sucks because you suck. Good job at posting a video that sucks ass as much as you do. Ass sucker.

[acbillydee]

Shut up with the music and sound, you dumb ass

[generalcircle]

Wow, your computer lags. Sad sad sad

[SilverMcdowell1992]

TOM IS KING

[winK414]

@elementalkirby level of your fagottry has beed detected as overwhelming ! please turn off your computer immediately !

[almhim]

@elementalkirby wow you're a true fucking asshole xD

[dddddddd160]

@elementalkirby I just say you one thing, and it's true: NO DOOM, NO DUKE NUKEM. Du you know that Doom was the grandfather of all FPS Games? (Exept Wolfenstein 3D, wich was before) The Build engine (Wich was used in Duke nukem 3D) is just a "modified" version of the Doom engine. So, go away. We don't need Doom haters here. (By the way, why did you even selected this video when you "hate" Doom?)

[Impgardens]

I would still rather play this then most modern first-person shooter.

[Chubzdoomer]

@Impgardens I still play this OVER modern first-person shooters.

[AlphaNox]

01:22 According to "Masters of Doom", the story Tom Hall had come up with started with you and some marines playing cards when the aliens boarded the ship or something. His levels were also realistic (it looks like that could be an actual space station or ship) and got scraped from the last version 'cause Romero thought they were too perfect/square and as such not fun to play.

[ifrit35]

@AlphaNox Yes, it illustrate the book and what tom hall did. Sadly, they fired him not long after that.

This video is some history of doom and video games in general!

[MrCadefulp]

toastytechcom/dooma/index.html

Just add a dot before com.

You can find the alphas there.

[MrCadefulp]

toastytechcom/dooma/index.html

You can find the alphas there.

[JonetzzkY]

I am playing this(0.4 and 0.5) with dosbox 0.73 and i cant hear the musics... I have windows 7 and if i try to open itself it's saying that its not supporting full screen mode... Help!

[Marnetmar666]

The music is just for the video, there's no sound in the alpha versions.

[lapcsanka]

Other space marines are scared lol they wont follow you

[kasouyumi]

What a dick slapping great game this is! :D

[sk8rdood67]

"If you have a copy of this, you are naughty."

-Doom 0.2

[zevex747]

that test map is beautiful. I want to play this.

[SmackersLP]

aw whyd they remove that poker table level and the other marines :((

[rfsent5]

Nice video. I have an earlier one. It may be the first one.

[2450blake]

@AlexGRFan97 yay but it looks like it right

[rosaleenauk]

man... i still find doom scary..

[2450blake]

Is he in the ark like in the movie

[AlexGRFan97]

@2450blake Dude, the movie came out in 2008.The game Doom was made in 1993, nobody had heard of the Ark then.

[Samail666]

@2450blake Besides having the name UAC and taking place on Mars (and the original takes place on Mars' moons..), the movie is not even REMOTELY related to Doom in any way, shape or form.

[PabloGener]

@Samail666 how bout the fact that the movie has a 5'+ clip being shot in FIRST PERSON like has never been done in movies before!!

[plateshutoverlock]

Picked up an unholy p'lor

[mspeter97]

we have an alpha 02 but were's the 01?

[259]

@mspeter97 It was never publicly available so we'll probably never get to see it. I'm not even sure if id Software themselves still have it archived somewhere.

[rfsent5]

@259, I got it before the game came out. So it does exist. My version has no music and the lighting isn't in yet, some things are different, but it looks very cool. Mine does have the spinning planet story thingy at the start.

[TheHalflife123]

nice a.i

[BUDA20]

I still playing this one in COOP using zdoom or skulltag

[huhabah]

JULES SUCKS

[jskaggsrulez]

so these are doom alphas...

wonder what wolfenstein alphas\betas look like

[TheJoebama]

How'd you get the game to run this fast, DOSBox likes to run it really slow I hear.

[WarHammer3451]

@TheJoebama Skulltag, GZDoom ZDoom

[TheJoebama]

@WarHammer3451 I don't think ZDoom likes to run these versions of DOOM at all...

[Coolerdbz69]

Naaaa the pinkies face look scarier lol

[addictedtodoom]

the shotgun looks fucking awesome

[YRAntiNoob]

JULES SUCKS ?

[Kratzille]

@YRAntiNoob it refers to Adrian "Jules" Carmack

[mr0ska]

ugg first hud is disgusting thank god they changed it

[Snotnarok]

To this day people still love doom, that's how amazing it is

[theletterfx3]

JULES SUCKS

[andriusandrau]

@theletterfx3 Hell right dude!

[TheTwB2Frager]

The helmet-sight version is COOL

[justforyou03]

personaly, i think the pre-beta is the best, 0.5 is also not bad

[loolollol]

wow how did you get all those beta versions of doom?

just curious

[Rendez333]

Why is this version of doom more epic than ours? I think ID should have stuck with their roots.

[CessiCB]

I thought the visor view looked pretty neat.

[Nazrat84]

anybody port tehese maps into skulltag yet?

[dapapeyu1]

map names,for the ones that never played Doom

first map= E1M2

second map=E3M5 (Correct me if i am wrong)

third map= E2M2

[RocketLawncher]

@Darkg222 no, this rune was unused powerup in Doom, and then appeared in Skulltag :P

[Darkg222]

WAIT.... (PAUSE AT 2:09) (IS SPREADRUNE FROM SKULLTAG!!!! WTF?! IS THERE?!) (Left Side)

[McGuffin56]

damn the first vid has a badass hud

[johnnycracko]

whoa this is interesting - i never saw what the early versions looked like until now. so i have all the doom games (dos)... and i never saw early versions all this time lol.

[OldSilentShadow]

Interesting to see those early clips, gives a lot of insight to the development of the game. Some levels seem so different to their final versions. Would've liked the idea of the "card playing other marines" there or some AI controlled friends, but well, it was a long while ago. The idea with the locker room and the likes would've been so great to improve the story-driven challenge.

@Viyark: Which MOD are you referring to? There is more than one, do you mean the link Zygo posted or what?

[viyark]

the origional doom was better. the mod is the biggest piece of shit of all times....

whoever likes it must be prety fucking retarted. im serious about this. seek some fucking help!

[Lioyd1rving]

@viyark I think I lost a couple brain cells reading this comment.

[Hack3rINC]

i love this game!!! i even have it on my ipod!!! (sorry just had to say it)

[GameFreakDude]

weapon bobbing looks more realistic in 0.4 than it does in the final version if you ask me. I wonder why they changed it?

[Gustavo3451]

@GameFreakDude Yeah I wonder that too

it looks cool

[GoldNCase]

@GameFreakDude

ahead of its time?

lag issue? the save the code in for some more map space?

you have to remember computers back then had like 2 mb of ram

[Jzag96]

Its amazing how Id software created 1st Person Shooter games, with Wolfenstein, and DooM in 1 year is just, beyond insane, phenominal.....Question....In the one accessible to public, i noticed objects like unholy bibles......did they do anything?

[amoronishere]

@Jzag96 it was origionally a point based game like ws3d along with lives and many charachters. yes they were heavy point sorces like the bloody chalices
