 * 1) This is a talk page; kindly sign your edits on talk pages with four tildes ( ~ ).
 * 2) Talk pages are for discussions of how to improve the article, not of the article's subject generally. However, you raise a point that might be worth including in the article.
 * 3) If the CDs' descriptions didn't make it clear that the Doom you were getting was the shareware version (which is the only edition which may legally be distributed without authorisation from id), you were probably ripped-off. However, the registered / retail version may (I believe) be eaily and cheaply purchased from id, or from Steam; in the latter case, download your game, then download and install one or more source ports of your choice (I favour ZDoom) and copy the WADfiles to the ports' installation directories.  This will enable you to play the games without having to get permission from Valve Software. -- RobertATfm 11:45, July 3, 2012 (UTC)
