I think I remember reading waaay back in the day that the reason the music was left out was to make the game seem scarier. I believe I might have read that in an EGM or Gamepro a looooong time ago.
@ClickPanic well the graphics are a little more blurry and enemies are 1 sided and farting music and no BFG9000 and spectre-cyberdemon-spider and only 17 levels
the atari jaguar is has 24 levels with music that sounds like ducks but only at the stats screen and all weapons and almost all demons still no spectre-cyber-spider but they all turn 8 different sides
my uncle works at atari and was on the developing team for porting this game over to the jag, and he toldme why there isnt any music in the game. the reason is that they were planning to make a seperate cd with hi def music on it that were supposed to be played while playing. but this was planned before they began to develop the cd addon. and the reason why they didnt released the cd with the music was because the cd addon thingie wasnt able to play both cd and cartride at the same time.
@HerrGubba its ok buddy. we always wondered why there was no sound in -game. Some people thought it was because some kind of system bottleneck I think.
@PointlessAndAwesome the original ultimate doom improve on its intial release and had great online gaming support as well.
i recognise the xbox version and the xbox live as the best consule way to play doom, but its the original pc version on there and not really a xbox 360 or ps3 or any off their versions.
@PointlessAndAwesome the jaguar version is my faviourite based on game play and i dont have to cycle through weapons.
the playstation i find is fast enough but generally slightly slower than the jaguar version.
but the atmosphere of the audio and 3d lighting, the extra content comdining the upgraded ultimate doom & doom 2 making the ps1 the best overall package.
but for game play i find myself playing the jaguar version more than i do the playstaion.
@PointlessAndAwesome wasnt counting the xbox versions or the xbox live versions because its just a straight pc ultimate doom 95, so not counting them as a proper port.
so obviously they're going to be good.
ps1 version is awesome added a lot, 3d lighting, the ultimate doom version of the original levels and doom 2,
since the jaguar version was out the door months after the origianl pc doom, it has none of these thing, it even has no music, but to my mind has the fastest fluid game play.
@winlover37 You should check it out the 3do has like a downsized screen and horrible lag. This is probably the second best doom port only second to the perfect 360 version. The only thing I hate is the no music! :(
@haxor758 I've seen the 3DO's which is terrible. As if the downsized screen was bad enough, it can't even run smoothly. It's just this video makes the Jaguar's version look laggy......
Gee, that music, man. It's sure something. The third stage's soundtrack really got me, it made me rethink how I was playing. I wish there was a CD with the soundtrack, so I could buy it three times.
Yes these games gave sound CyberTechArtist. ID said they took the music out of the Jaguar version because they felt it was scarier that way. They also tried this with Doom64. Some people hate it, some people love it.
@nicholasthetaylor Doubtful - the game came out less than a year after the Jaguar's launch. I can't imagine that Carmack was relying on Atari to put out the Jaguar CD that quickly.
The Jag made a good DOOM, but I would imagine that I wouldn't want to play it with that Jag controller. So it defeats the purpose. The Playstation 1 is the only system to play all the original DOOM games.
At the time, people thought Jag doom was so coo-well.
I say it sucks: No music, no cyberdemon, no spider mastermind, no interlevel map (hardly a biggie, but still), no *darkness* for fuck's sake (yeah, way to kill most of the suspense!) a shitload of missing levels, and a shitload of levels maimed by having areas removed.
And it's stuck in low-resolution.
And the frame rate isn't brilliant.
And the actual gameplay is inexplicably slower than in any other version.
@AlephNeil I thought Jag Doom was only missing the Music not levels, monsters and Ambiance. I know the 32X version is missing levels and has crummy music.
@AlephNeil Have You played the 32X. 3DO, Saturn or SNES versions? They're all slower with smaller screen sizes. The 3DO version is so slow it's unplayable and the SNES and Saturn version aren't much better! The Jag version is much smoother than all of them, there's no boarder around the screen and it was the 1st version of Doom to be ported from the PC so it was the only option at the time if you didn't have a PC.
I guess Doom is the game, which has been ported to everey machine possible :) No other game could beat it. I mean PC DOS, Windows, PSX, Saturn, N64, Jaguar...
well, as far as I remember it came out later than the Jaguar version and when I played it on a friend´s psx I wasn´t really impressed... maybe it is better in some aspects, I don´t know... but when Jaguar version came out it was definately the best by far! The first really better looking one was the N64 version (which is more a sequel than a port)...
I still find this to be one of the best ports... I just bought a Jaguar again and this is one of the first games I bought.
I actually like the absence of music, it adds atmospherics to the game. Personally, if someone wanted to play a revision on a console, I would tell them to play the Jag version over the PSX or any others (other than the PC).
The Jaguar was an awesome console! The controller was almost as big as the console itself. With just as many buttons as a standard keyboard, but thats ok!..... ahhhh...how I love that old Jag!!
I didn't miss the music and after playing the SNES, 32X, Saturn, and Jaguar versions I'm impressed with this Doom the most. Only the 3DO had great music until you got to the PSone version. I loved this on the Jag.
WHY DID YOU NOT CHOOSE ULTRA VIOLENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pussy... Doom is quite easy but i dont really see much of a difference between thepc version you should maybe try the out the 3DO version that dont look too bad :>
@mikeycomputer The game has all the music, but only heard in the score screens when you finish the levels. Performance problems when the music is enabled?
@360guy0 ...I thought it added to the gameplay, a different atmosphere, I liked it. Compare this version to the Saturn, 32X, 3DO and SNES and you would much rather play the Jag Doom.
@360guy0 i know right i have alot of roms for each kinda doom and each one without music except the one i got for pc and the sega 32x one its just not right
I would say that it's amazing for it's closeness to the PC version. The saturn version sucked, and the PSX version wasn't all too bad. It was actually really good!
nah the saturn version aint the worst i like it personaly i also have the snes version i cant think of anything nice to say about that one ive never played the ps1 version tho i'll halfta start looking for it
if u havent played the saturn version then why would u say it sux?? lol the only bad thing about it is its not as smooth wen u turn and wen theres too many enemys on the screen it goes slow motion like a old nintendo game
The SNES version actually isn't all that bad. It's slow and it makes quite a few concessions for its lack of processing power, but it's stilla fun game and its very playable. I have a bit of a soft spot for SNES Doom since, at the time, it was the only way I had to experience the game.
The 3DO version is the most abysmal version of Doom. It's virtually unplayable.
theres no god damn music because the doom version of the jaguar didn't have music during gameplay>:( only during the victory or intermissions or loading did it have music. this is why the jaguar didn't last because they fucked up doom
depends, if the music in a game sucks then I turn it off, but with a great soundtrack like doom, the jaguar version kinda dissapointed me:( still great game but without the great music. but the only game that I turn off the music is runescape because I dont like a lot of the songs and I use my songs from my zune
man i loved this game... sadly my jag broke but i might be getting one soon off of ebay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i remember all the demons,weopons and i remember i used a cheat for god mode and my little face had golden eyes to symbol that i was invincible....good times...good times...
Probably not enough ram. This version runs full screen and has very fast scrolling. If music was added it probably would've ran half screen with choppy scrolling. Something had to give. I griped about the lack of music too until I played it. I quickly forgot about the lack of music.
I can't still imagine I used to play this first on my Super Nintendo as a teenager - and I was quite happy being able to play it!... nowadays I think even these Jaguar graphics really suck, although they're a mixture of 32/64 bit, you can really count the pixels on screen *lol*. For heavens sake I got a playstation and a pc...
In all honesty, if people are that fussed over music, just burn the music from a different platform (like PS1) to play onto CD then play it through your CD player.
It's not because they didnt want to, it's because they couldent put music because of the ROM's tiny 2MB size. Somethings gotta give...
this version is just absolutely good,despites the lack of music in the actual game,i don,t really cair about it cuzz the gba music is boring wich i wanne turn off.
In all honesty, I hate playing this game on the Super Nintendo. I own that cartridge as well as versions for other systems. Sure there is music, but it's mediocre and the graphics are terrible.
This version on Atari Jaguar kicks ass, period! XD
Well I heard that they had some license troubles using the ingame music (it´s all about money). In fact if you do a deathmatch there´s a cheat that one player´s Jaguar plays the music and the other the sound, so you´ll have both...
The Jaguar version of Doom did feature selected music tracks from various levels, however, they were played during the intermission screen and not during actual game play. The Jaguar version of Doom also included full character animations from all view angles, but did not have either the Cyberdemon or the Spider Mastermind enemies.
The Jaguar version of Doom had more levels than the 32X version of Doom and less levels than the SNES version of Doom. Each port has its strengths and weaknesses.
yeh needs music, but graphics are good, def better than 32x and 3DO versions

and it plays in a scaled down frame where the jaguar is full screen.

@PointlessAndAwesome i dont count the xbox versions, simply because they are not conversions really.
they are emulation of the exact ultimate pc doom, so on the xbox and xbox live version are the pc versions.
not a coversion.
infact since the xbox is just a big windows pc very little emulation is nessacery, can run almost natively.
the ps1, jaguar, 3do, saturn, snes, 32x, gda, n64 etc are all consule conversions, not an emulation

a brand new consule, and very early development, and a short development time.
not that the jaguar was or wasnt capable
cant1rac 10 months ago
oh and there is ive heard a hidden easter egg, that plays music in co-op and deathmatch
game play dosent slow down either which shoots down the claim, that the jaguar had a problem implementing it.
an excuse maybe, because the development time for this coming to the jaguar was so short.
just imagine how much better this could have been with a slightly longer development time.
john carmack has released the original jaguar source code in 2003, hopefully someone will release an enhanced jag port
cant1rac 10 months ago
im a doom head, got the jaguar just based on how good this game was on it and got ever consule this was released on, and a copy off doom
snes, 32x, 3do, jaguar, playstation, saturn, gba, pc, mac (n64 doom64) the bonus content on the original xbox doom3 and resurection of evil, xbla,
this is m faviourite version off the consule ports along side the playstation.
for game play though this is rated number 1.
slightly faster than playstaion version and co-op and deathmatch between 2 jags is awesome.
cant1rac 10 months ago
my jaguar isnt laggy, guessing this is run in an emulator.
too me this is the best consule port of the first doom levels.
the compromises made this the fastest playable version on any consule.
the 3do, 32x, saturn snes etc were laggy and prone to slow down.
linking up 2 jags for deathmatch and co-op this version is an unbeatable version.
also i love the ps version the most complete consule version,
and the snes, even though its sticky walls slow & ugly its an amazing feat for the snes hardware
cant1rac 10 months ago
This has been flagged as spam show
can only think this may has been played on an emulator, a lot laggier than on my jaguar. (infact no lag what so ever on my 2 jags)
my faviourite consule version off the original doom 1 levels.
fastest version out.
the comprimises no sound etc worked, where the 3do had the best music its game play was horrendous.
for a complete package the ps version is superiour.
but link up 2 jags for deathmatch and cooperative play and this is easily the best ever consule version.of the original doom 1 levels

@mikeycomputer The game has all the music, but only heard in the score screens when you finish the levels. Performance problems when the music is enabled?

@360guy0 ...I thought it added to the gameplay, a different atmosphere, I liked it. Compare this version to the Saturn, 32X, 3DO and SNES and you would much rather play the Jag Doom.

@360guy0 i know right i have alot of roms for each kinda doom and each one without music except the one i got for pc and the sega 32x one its just not right

Yeah, in terms of framerate and graphics, my only problem is, where the fuck is the music?

snes doom ftw, why you ask? because at that time people were still playing DKC and Mario world, then DOOM! and the music is the best.
godwascreatedbyminds 2 years ago
Ther first console doom was made for 32x... All versions are base in this console.
The more similar version is for SNES (like PC).
The Dreamcast version is only 100% equal.

Jaguar Doom is most certainly better than psx and saturn versions. Trying to argue with that fact is straight up fart-face
WaxHeadroom 2 years ago
I would say that it's amazing for it's closeness to the PC version. The saturn version sucked, and the PSX version wasn't all too bad. It was actually really good!

nah the saturn version aint the worst i like it personaly i also have the snes version i cant think of anything nice to say about that one ive never played the ps1 version tho i'll halfta start looking for it
fuked86 2 years ago
Yeah, I haven't really played the saturn version. If the Jaguar DOOM had music, it would be the best DOOM Console Port ever made!
DXSnakeEater 2 years ago 3
if u havent played the saturn version then why would u say it sux?? lol the only bad thing about it is its not as smooth wen u turn and wen theres too many enemys on the screen it goes slow motion like a old nintendo game
fuked86 2 years ago
Try the Dreamcast.
fsm1982 2 years ago
The SNES version actually isn't all that bad. It's slow and it makes quite a few concessions for its lack of processing power, but it's stilla fun game and its very playable. I have a bit of a soft spot for SNES Doom since, at the time, it was the only way I had to experience the game.
The 3DO version is the most abysmal version of Doom. It's virtually unplayable.

Its funny how psx doom is considered better when they used jag doom levels to make psx and saturn version. hilarious.

why is there no fucking music
seekanddestroy1200 2 years ago
theres no god damn music because the doom version of the jaguar didn't have music during gameplay>:( only during the victory or intermissions or loading did it have music. this is why the jaguar didn't last because they fucked up doom
fanofmanyteams 2 years ago
Do you really prefer music to gameplay? If so then i shudder to think what games you think are great.
WaxHeadroom 2 years ago
nah its just games like doom scare the shit out of me and the music helps take away the scariness
fanofmanyteams 2 years ago
depends, if the music in a game sucks then I turn it off, but with a great soundtrack like doom, the jaguar version kinda dissapointed me:( still great game but without the great music. but the only game that I turn off the music is runescape because I dont like a lot of the songs and I use my songs from my zune
fanofmanyteams 2 years ago
Music ot gameplay is very good in my case. It makes the gameplay fell a little less bland . Even if its the drerry-boring "atmosphere" shit.

Actually there probably wasn't enough room for music, I dunno.
That might not be true though.
DXSnakeEater 2 years ago
Probably not enough ram. This version runs full screen and has very fast scrolling. If music was added it probably would've ran half screen with choppy scrolling. Something had to give. I griped about the lack of music too until I played it. I quickly forgot about the lack of music.

I can't still imagine I used to play this first on my Super Nintendo as a teenager - and I was quite happy being able to play it!... nowadays I think even these Jaguar graphics really suck, although they're a mixture of 32/64 bit, you can really count the pixels on screen *lol*. For heavens sake I got a playstation and a pc...

PSX and D64 were the best console Doom games. Both had undeniable atmosphere that the other consoles lacked. Least favorite is 32X version.
Aldaraia666 2 years ago
Do you mean Doom64? This is really great, but a different game (in my opinion). PSX doom and Jaguar doom are quite similar.
060falcon 2 years ago
PSX and jag were best: Jag best graphics, PSX best music. D64 was anal rape to doom
goodflo911 2 years ago
How was Doom 64 "anal rape"? They were aiming for a darker feel for Doom just as the PSX version had done.
ElliotSpencerBassett 2 years ago
In all honesty, if people are that fussed over music, just burn the music from a different platform (like PS1) to play onto CD then play it through your CD player.
It's not because they didnt want to, it's because they couldent put music because of the ROM's tiny 2MB size. Somethings gotta give...

In all honesty, I hate playing this game on the Super Nintendo. I own that cartridge as well as versions for other systems. Sure there is music, but it's mediocre and the graphics are terrible.
This version on Atari Jaguar kicks ass, period! XD
adog262 2 years ago
Well I heard that they had some license troubles using the ingame music (it´s all about money). In fact if you do a deathmatch there´s a cheat that one player´s Jaguar plays the music and the other the sound, so you´ll have both...

In this verson of doom, can you shift right and left, because if not, that wouldnt be the version for me.

the only thing that suck in this version is there no music
kakarottossj3 2 years ago
The Jaguar version of Doom did feature selected music tracks from various levels, however, they were played during the intermission screen and not during actual game play. The Jaguar version of Doom also included full character animations from all view angles, but did not have either the Cyberdemon or the Spider Mastermind enemies.
The Jaguar version of Doom had more levels than the 32X version of Doom and less levels than the SNES version of Doom. Each port has its strengths and weaknesses.
