PSX music sucks, and I like the difference in the statusbar but only because its darker and more muted than the standard one. Not too fond of the psx statusbar itself. The darker gradient colors yes.
The intended way doom music and anything with samples like that is supposed to sound is under Adlib/OPL. Everything else sounds wishy washy and really watered down. OPL might sound abit more primitive but its solid and direct. And consistent to the era. It doesnt try to be soundtrack quality, and its better than the beeps of the prior era.
> the people who had "better" sound cards back then who got to hear it in a different way were the ones who really got fucked over and never got the proper experience

Brightmaps are great but only if they're done right. Its something I think could have been done from the beginning really, instead of having "Bright" flagged sprite states. Though, I think its maybe just 1 YEAR of computer capabilities that set it apart, they had to be really efficient with things.
> mfw for gun flashes and glowing eyes they would only have needed maybe 3-4 sprites which denoted maybe even just 1-4 levels of brightness with respect to the scenery. And then just have those placed for each sprite that needed it at the appropriate alignments

Thats an understood and irrelveant part of the game/argument here.
If you play through the levels without dying you keep the weapons. Its not like you've got to drop your BFG and drop rockets to be light enough to vault some chasm. And you dont have to make choices about which ones you're going to grab either, you can have both.
Its not so much the realism issue as it is making you superpowered without the need to balance weaknesses. You just get more and more.
None of IDs games do this. Even though they were the pioneers of these games. Heck even the Half Life games dont make you drop stuff so that you can pick up some more of something else.
On the other hand when you've got a game with limited item slots they usually go to the other extreme like the ones ive listed.

the pistol start requirement is just to make sure the game isnt broken by you dying in vanilla OG or warping.
Would've been avoided if there was autosaves at first level entry like source ports do. Wouldnt have to insert replacement SSGs and RLs, etc.
They could've been randomized switch item spawns where if you have the item its just an ammo package, and if you dont have the item then one of these spots on the map will have the replacement weapon on it (so that way you never quite know where in the map your replacement weapon is at if you've warped in).

None of this would've required anything beyond trivial coding in those days. The per-level autosave could've been done when you reach the end screen tally of the previous map.

But considering that System Shock was a thing back around the same time, it seems the iD folks more or less just wanted to keep things as simple as possible.

It's called the Quake Upstart Mapping Project for a reason anon. They were fun maps regardless, but that's just my opinion.

Are we playing the same game? I find myself using the regular shotgun often even after I have a full roster of weapons because how fucking effecient it is, it's a great tool to take potshots at distant monsters with
