There have been short discussions here and there about this but I thought it will be good to have a dedicated thread about it.

Question: Should id Software make the NEW DOOM backward compatible with all the old DooM wads?

Yes it should, although it would have to have the old doom engine encorperated into the newDoom, which, of course, shouldnt be a problem!

maybe the doomlegacy port... http://www.newdoom.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

I aggree as well. Maybe there will be a map converter, or possibly code to read it as-is.

It'd be cool if they included Final Doom and Doom 2 on the CD (or DVD?) Even though everyone here owns at least one of those two games...
