Yes, I am running an original, the main reason is because I work for a software development company that write soley for windows and I want to show them that windows is not the only platform and my boos really likes doom. So I thought this would be an eye catcher. But thanks I will check out that site to run doom natively. brian

Reason I'm asking is, there are several open-source Doom alternatives. I use Prboom to play Doom here, and it will work with Doom 1, Doom 2, and Ultimate Doom .wad files. I use WineX, but only as a last resort - to play games that I've been unable to find an open source resolution for. IMHO - you're always better off if you can run it "native" first.
