I once made a mini-episode for Doom, and I still play it a lot. But I was wondering if others like you also still play Doom or find it too old.

I just had the urge to play this again, and I'm amazed by how much better than the original it can be made with downloads.
For example:
- OpenGL and Direct3D (good resolutions!)
- 3D Models (no more sprites)
- Object and camera movement smoothing (no limit on FPS anymore)
- Simple shadows for objects
- Dynamic light effects and lens flares
- Particle effects (instead of sprites, so nice smoke and blood)
- 3D sound effects with DirectSound3D and EAX 2.0 or A3D 3.0. Also EAX's and A3D's environmental sound effects
- High-resolution textures (PNG, TGA, PCX) and detail textures. I have a 180 MB pack of textures, all remade from scratch to be from 4x to 8x larger (128x128-->512x512 at minimum)
- Mouse look
There's also quite a community left who still play Doom.
I'm still won't be playing it very often but I'll probably keep playing occaisonally longer than I would have without these enhancements.
