Re: How Does One Play MultiPlayer On-Line with Old DOOM?

Download and install Doom Connector.  Run it and it will tell you what
****ts
it sup****ts.  Pick one and get the latest version.  Play it off-line and
configure it to your tastes.  Then run Doom Connector again and join a
game.
Of course, you may not have the wads needed to run on some servers, but
you
can play on at least some of the servers.  Or run a server yourself.
