Talk:How to play Doom on modern Windows

Skulltag might be somewhat like a TC but the extra stuff it adds is only additional and doesn't replace anything. Therefore I don't really see why it couldn't be recommended here. Janizdreg 13:08, 8 Apr 2005 (EDT)

Deletion
I'm nominating this for deletion, since How to download and run Doom is now fairly comprehensive and basically includes everything this article does and more, which means this article is pretty much redundant. Therefore, delete. -- Janizdreg 02:36, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Neutrality
Isn’t it bias to state that the "quick and easy" way to run Doom on XP is to use a specific port?

There have been edits to many other articles in the past that were considered too bias in favour of certain ports.


 * Yes, it it biased to recommend a specific port, but in this case it serves a purpose and can IMO be accepted as an exception to our general policy. That purpose (as stated in the "quick and easy" section's intro) is to help computer-illiterate or otherwise confused people to get to run Doom as easily as possible. I believe ZDoom was chosen as the recommended port due to it currently being (AFAIK) the most popular port. -- Janizdreg 18:21, 26 December 2008 (UTC)


 * to help computer-illiterate or otherwise confused people to get to run Doom as easily as possible  Um... in that case, why are we recommending any program with a command-line interface?    Ryan W 01:22, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
