Gameplay showing three ways to play the original Doom series.

1. Through DOSBox, which Steam uses, keeps the original engine
2. Through ZDoom, a port with software renderer.
3. Through GZDoom, an OpenGL fork of ZDoom.

If like me, you enjoy WASD controls, and the ability to look up and down, you may be disappointed that Doom on Steam includes no improvements to the original. Fortunately, projects like ZDoom have created an updated game engine, bringing new life to the old classics.

ZDoom uses a software renderer, GZDoom uses OpenGL. With gzdoom you can also look in any direction, whereas zdoom limits how far you can look up and down (and looks warped when you do)

Both of them will automatically play your Steam copy of Doom, and are pretty easy to set up.

Can't be bothered with all the menus? here's my settings file:
