OpenGL ports of CLASSIC games

Alec§taar · May 23, 2006, 04:25 PM

This post's for the old DOS gamers like me that might like these A LOT as I do, but use modern Win32 OS' like NT-based ones (2000/XP/2003 etc.)...

If you're NOT aware of these? You might want to be...

Especially if you have these old games!

Some of the screenshots are BIG & pigs, OR on SLOW sites (like NewWolf 3D) so low-bandwidth folks? My apologies - I didn't take the shots!

Still, they're worth noting anyhow imo! HOPEFULLY, yours too!

It's almost like getting new ones, & breathes "NEW LIFE" into them is why... if you're low on dough? It's a ticket to fun on the cheap, because of the great free work others have done!

------------------------------------------------------------------

ZDoomGL & JDoom:

JDoom Pic

Jdoom

http://www.doomsdayhq.com/

ZDoom & ZDoomGL (both are needed, & just the DOOM I & II .wad files copied to your disk to play them)

ZDoom Pic

ZDoom download link:

http://www.doomworld.com/doomgl/zdoomgl.htm

* Both awesome... seriously!

------------------------------------------------------------------

JHEXEN & JHERETIC (now part of the Doomsday Engine unified package, with Doom I & II in it + mods capable):

JHexen Pic

Jhexen download link:

http://www.doomsdayhq.com/

JHeretic Pic

Jheretic download link:

http://www.doomsdayhq.com/

JHexen & JHeretic have some really NEAT things in them, & multiplayer OpenGL from what I read up on it is even working in JHexen!

This is great, I can play GLHeretic, the first one in this series now again & also GLHexen basically now with modernized display engines!

(NOW thanks to this programmer Jaako Haarkonen (interesting guy, I read his BIO, ex-military man too) has made that possible for us all, & VERY high quality work!)

I love the NEW controls options, freelook, & even sound and display options available... not only the OpenGL'ness of it now! Heck, even the options menu "Zooms" to the screen fading in as it creates itself, a nice touch!

------------------------------------------------------------------

NEWWOLF3d:

NewWolf 3D Pix:

Wolfenstein GL download link:

http://wolfgl.narod.ru/

EXCELLENT as well... this is probably still one of my fav games of all time, as primitive as it is with all right angled walls and single floor levels only & what-not but the atmosphere & suspense is there in it like the original.

I especially liked the ability to change the controls with the mouse now, I can click on the right button to move forward!

The original by IDSoftware/Apogee did not offer such an option.

For me personally?

This is great, because I used to play the original SO long thru the night my right shoulder was sore from pushing the mouse around my desk to move forward!

LOL, I am a mouser in First Person Shooters, no "up-button" forward moving for me here!

(I wish 2 things would happen for it: Mouse Free-Look & also the ability to save games seems to be not working for me at this point!)

Still, the young Russian Fellow, DarkOne has done a tremendous job so far & lent life to an old game for me here...

------------------------------------------------------------------

(Definitely, a SMILEY face on these! Great nostalgia, & great rebirth of the old classics by ALL means! If you're NOT aware of these & you're a gamer? It'd be an injustice imo! Enjoy if you have not heard of these & this is news to you... by all means!)

These oldies/classics First Person Shooter Games?

They were designed for performance on 486's... they absolutely SAIL/FLY on today's Pentium III or better!

(It was like getting ALL new games outta these oldies to be honest, old ones I really got into since I still think DOS based games had better gameplay & plot + atmosphere vs. the technology & 'flash' concentration in games I see today a lot in the First Person Shooter Genre, my fav!)

This is a post that has been a BIG 'hit' with over 50,000 or so combined views from others @ other 4 forums over time, & some info. you may not be aware of, & like!

Info. that a fellow named PMistry (as I know him as from online over the years now) inspired me to do as well as turned me onto parts of over time!

Ones I didn't know about even, @ other forums in their gaming sections over the years & now, imported here to these forums!

ALSO, might as well point it out -> Tomaz Quake & GLQuake!

Here is a screenshot & download link to GLQuake as well, might as well complete this post of 3rd party OpenGL/DirectX 3d add-ons for older DOS games:

GL Quake I Screenshot:

GL Quake I Download link URL:

ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/unsup/glq1114.exe

------------------------------------------------------------------

Tomaz Quake 1.48!

* This one's much nicer than std. GLQuake 1.14 by FAR... adds bump mapping, fog, & lots more like natively transparent water (that's right! no vispatch needed!)

GL Tomaz Quake I download link URL:

http://tomaz.quakesrc.org/

If you like GLQuake mods, this IS THE ONE to get! Check out some of these screenshots:

Colored Lightning with ambient glows:

Smoke fog trails on bazookas & Nuke Grenades:

Ejecting shells from guns:

Fog effects fully Red, Green, Blue FOG controlleable:

Mirroring effects:

------------------------------------------------------------------

* Another NICE port of a classic, but into OpenGL from bitmaps blasted to screen & sprite animations!

Tenebrae Quake I Bump-Mapped & OPENGL!

GL Tenebrae Quake I Screenshots:

MORE AWESOME SHOTS:

GL Tenebrae Quake I download link URLs:

or

http://tenebrae.sourceforge.net/ind...ge=download.txt

(Hellish, eh? But, this mod?? Takes HORSEPOWER! My old Pentium III 1ghz duallie was NOT enough... would play, but SLUGGISH! This one had the bump-mapped'ness & actual lighting effects of Doom III in it, before Doom III even HIT THE STREET! In other words, takes POWER to run it, but nice eh?)

* Read on, onto Quake II mods...

It seems really strange seeing old games like that with seemingly out of place new features like bump-mapping. But just because of this article i'm going to install doom and quake 2 again for kicks.

They're quite cool actually, you'll be surprised (especially if you were one of the folks that played them when they came out, & especially the ones that DIDN'T have OpenGL/DirectX available to/for them)!

The "most advanced one", imo, of the lot of them above? TENEBRAE OpenGL Quake I... but, be warned - takes a HELL of a system to run it fast!

Well, here you are again then (Except, this time, on a modern OS using those "oldie/classic" games in a modern 3d display method as well (OpenGL &/or DirectX (depending on the game, they can do either in some of them))).

* Enjoy!

Theme hospital? Funny enough my girlfriend was playing that on her laptop not that long ago (its a fun little game). She has the disk for it and it seems to be running just fine on winxp

Pip-Pip · Jul 28, 2006, 09:23 PM

well, ports of Duke3D and Shadow Warrior cant be missed, and thanks to JonoF for those!
and ofcourse, the CloneKeen project. Brilliant

I am trying to compile a little collection of links, as for right now located on: http://pip-pip.does.it located under "hobby". check theire respective sites for screenshots, linked from my page!

Cheers, and keep the clones comming

wow even now it makes my head ponds (low res / low refreshrate/ low speed ... )....

great old days . i dunno what can i call it ? passion !?

Cybie1111 · Jul 30, 2006, 05:45 AM

Indeed the days were great. Any many classics are still living strong and can be fixed up to play online. I am playing the classic Doom series online for almost 5 years and it will go all the way to the bitter end... no matter how repetitive the gameplay is.

wow dude , a true-hearted real classic-er !

bigboi86 · Jul 30, 2006, 06:52 AM

Yea, those screenshots look a HELL of a lot better than I remember playing them on the computers at school...

I didn't know shit about computers back then.

did she got to the end, without cheats?, i don't, too many pacients

Alec§taar · Jul 30, 2006, 08:30 PM

I just played one that's been updated, KickStart for Doom I & II (JDoom Doomsday Engine, which drives Hexen & Heretic (originals) in OpenGL OR DirectX too for all)!

The first link w/ the new pics has it, it's been open-sourced it seems iirc, which is even cooler to see!

It has many updates (I never noted any bugs in the last version though) + more features (control panel IS excellent though).

APK

Moose1309 · Aug 10, 2006, 06:28 PM

Very nice... I just tried ZDoom, ZDoomGL, and JDoom..... my favorite so far is JDoom. A few small problems that I have, but wow. It's such a blast to relive these old classics with better graphics.....

Absolutely! AND FREE TOO, if you own/still have laying around, their original installation CD &/or floppy disks (Wolf3d here, dating itself).

JDoom's my fav. DOOM one, & GLQuake "Tenebrae" is my fav. Quake series one. The Wolf3d one isn't too shabby either!

(They're REAL "nostalgia" for me: I say that, because I remember playing them RIGHT when each came out... Albeit, in their original DOS coded, grainy looking, no up/down look, bitmap blasted to screen + sprite animated original models from the 386/486/Pentium I era timelines)...

Oh, every once in awhile? I see a "glitch" too, but rare. MOSTLY, when I use "3rd party maps" over the stock/oem DOOM (or Quake series too) series ones.

Yes, agreed 110%, & especially w/ the newer 3d graphics for display such as OpenGL &/or Direct X!

APK

Moose1309 · Aug 10, 2006, 06:36 PM

Seriously! One of the best reasons to play these is - you can measure the load times in ms!!!

I think the only problem I'm having with JDoom now is that I can't seem to enable jump. I mapped it to space in the standard controls section, but nothing. Still awsome. Thanks for the thread.

Funny enough my girlfriend was playing that on her laptop not that long ago (its a fun little game). She has the disk for it and it seems to be running just fine on winxp __________________ Arguing with the moderators is like shaking your fist at God.

The first link w/ the new pics has it, it's been open-sourced it seems iirc, which is even cooler to see! It has many updates (I never noted any bugs in the last version though) + more features (control panel IS excellent though). APK

I think the only problem I'm having with JDoom now is that I can't seem to enable jump. I mapped it to space in the standard controls section, but nothing. Still awsome. Thanks for the thread.
