Both, but considering the release here, source port would be more useful for most people.

OK. Well, I have only played Doom on the PC, so it automatically wins, while I have used GZDoom and Doomsday for source ports. While Doomsday certainly looked nice, there was a... "sliding" effect on movement that I didn't like so much, so my choice is GZDoom.
Brutal DOOM, hands down :D

Ah thanks for the reminder!

I take it there will be some more mod highlight posts now you've got some of the most modded games in history here?

I still can't imagine playing it with a gamepad.

GZDoom: Why? Best looking?

To add the reason for my curiosity: I want to re-play Doom, but I can't play games without at least texture filtering anymore (can't stand the pixel-flickering. At the same time it should look as true as possible to the original. Hard to achieve, I know, because a 24" 1080p TFT per se has a very different look from a 17" CRT that adds a natural blurriness...

But that's more like a TC. I'm looking for the best way to play the original Doom/2/Final Doom.

Here's a 1080p screenshot of how the game can be played in GZDoom without mods.

If you're looking for the ultimate graphical experience though, maybe Doomsday Engine is better for you

Better yet, you may see some streams that will highlight those mods/source ports a lot better than text ever will :) All that is up to the individual streamers, of course, so no guarantees that any of this may actually happen :)

It's still the same old levels, just the enemies get a bit of a facelift and the DOOM guy can pull off finishing moves :D

I like GZDoom because the gameplay is unchanged, it has support for higher resolutions, and the graphics are true to the original (but smooth-looking, no pixel-flickering).

Is the PSOne music better than GMIDI with a good sound library?
