Just because porting team had good programmers and musicians doesn't mean they had good level designers. Obviously, they didn't.

Kek.

Maps simplified & heights drastically reduced, much darker lighting than the original maps, no arch viles, no icon of sin, cyberdemon/spider mastermind appearance greatly reduced, drastically reduced monster count in general due to ram limitations, weapon animation frames cut, texture resolutions reduced, no nightmare difficulty, runs slow as fuck.

The music is literally the only good thing about the psx port.

Name a better retro port of Doom, then.

Name a better port though as >>4332618
said. You probably can't because OP is right about what he said. With that said of course Doom is best played with a sourceport.

It's just such a disappointment everytime I get through Doom. Finish up the amazing Ultimate Doom levels after blasting through what is otherwise Jaguar Doom, and then bam, two terrible, long levels right in a row.

PS1 Doom was good. I liked it. Therefore it is a decent port.

The soundtrack really is fantastic, though. On a par with Bobby Prince's.
