One thing that took me by surprise when playing #DOOM on #PS1 was the change in sounds. The sound fx in this version are the same used in Doom 64, I think.
We have fancy skyboxes and lighting effects, which can turn certain areas into an absolute nightmare when the lights are strobing wildly. The game also feels darker in general, the secret level The Marshes is obnoxiously dark for an outdoor arena.
The Cyberdemon makes an appearance! Haven't seen you since the SNES. But the Spider Mastermind doesn't appear until Doom 2, strange, any Doom veteran knows the Mastermind is the lesser of the boss demons.
Thy Flesh Consumed is a little easier in places with a lot of the Barons being replaced by Hell Knights, 2-3 rockets vs 5? That's quite a courtesy.
The controls are pretty much perfect, though at times it feels a little slippery, it makes certain "platforming" challenges a little harder than they need to be.
All in all, a damn solid port!
