Classic DOOM Will Never Die

Classic DOOM will never die—plain and simple. Why? Because the community refuses to let it.

Decades after its release, DOOM is still going strong thanks to the legendary modding scene. Custom WADs, total conversions, gameplay mods, texture packs—you name it, someone’s out there making it. Every time you think the last idea’s been used, someone drops a brand-new megawad that blows everyone away. The creativity is endless.

It’s not just nostalgia either. DOOM is still genuinely fun. With source ports like GZDoom and Zandronum, the game keeps evolving without losing what made it great. Whether you're into ultra-challenging slaughtermaps, story-driven adventures, or completely off-the-wall mods (looking at you, MyHouse.wad), there’s always something new to play.

No other game from 1993 still gets this kind of love. Classic DOOM is more than a game—it's a platform, a canvas, a community. As long as there are fans with wild ideas and a love for blasting demons, DOOM will live on.





So no, classic DOOM isn’t going anywhere. Not now. Not ever.

doom died from mainstream ages ago,but still i think its pretty good,and comparing it to its younger brother: QUAKE,i think we gotta admit that it has one of the greatest communities,releasing new maps,mods,sourceports,and thats pretty impressive for a 30 year old game,but i wish quake got this community too :(
