Yes, I'm an old fart whom lives with ten year old games. If any if you are familiar with Zdoom and ZDaemon, I'd like to get a bit of deathmatching or coop going. Nothing fancy, just so old school Doom+source port fun. Open for whatever, though I so rarely play DM that I'll be an easy target.
Any takers?
(Note - That assumes this sort of thing is okay here. If not and I've grossly misgauged the purpose of this board, by all means move or kill this.)
It's totally appropriate. There will be some explainations and guidelines posted after I finish some stuff.

I'll give this a shameless bump up to see if I can garner any more interest.
I'd be in on it, though so busy. >_<

I'd be up for it, assuming that I'm actually awake and have time at the same time other people do, and the firewalls and ZDoom decide to like each other. Never played Doom deathmatch, though. It would seem to have.... interesting balance. I've also got Doom 3 if anyone's up for that.
I'd try Doom 3, but it's rough trying to get a decent enough framerate in the single player. I'd hate to see how multiplayer works. >_<
I played doom deathmatch once and while I'm willing to play again, they really didn't balance it for deathmatch. Coop would likely work better. Last I played, I recall over half the weapons were practically instant kills. Quake 1 was far more sane in that respect.

Quake fanboy
I'd be willing to play Doom... if I had it. I have Quake, though... but it won't work with XP, and while I've been trying to find around it for older games, I haven't figured out a way how to, yet.
*has been trying to use Bochs, but can't seen to find a BIOS image*
I think eventually we'll figure out a way.
The waaaaay....

Okay, trying to get this together.
I can get people going on Doom 2 if need be, so that's not an issue. Roll call and let's try to set up a date. How about December 20th, 5 PM EST?
Doom 2 you say? 5 PM EST you say?
Co-op taking down of the demons from hell, you say?
If so, I may be there.
Dracos
Yep, next Monday. We can try vanillia Doom 2, or Alien Vendetta, or a couple of other megawads if you want co-op. I'll look into it.
Up to you man. Just not interested in deathmatch in Doom. Did it once. it was really lame. Don't care to do it again.
Dracos
That's fine, co-op in Doom can rock as well.
If it's Doom 2, any level will work. If it's Alien Vendetta? Probably keep it to any level below 20, as 21 and on get insane even on single player. I'm thinking level 3-11 would be ideal.
I suggest this...

Doom, it's not just a first person shooter. It's also a lifestyle. :p
