Version differences
Some copies of the id Anthology version contain an updated Final Doom; the rest uses the original. The GOG.com release uses this alternate version.[3]
- The engine internal version is still 1.9, and likewise the same executable is used for both IWADs.
- The teleportation bug introduced in the original Final Doom was fixed.
- The bug with skies never changing was fixed.
- The missing yellow key in TNT MAP31 was fixed.
- Missing deathmatch starts in both TNT: Evilution and The Plutonia Experiment were added.
- Executable expects 3 demos again to resolve issues with IWADs other than Ultimate Doom. As a result, Ultimate Doom will only show the first 3 demos and it won't crash on IWADs where the fourth demo is missing.
Essential improvements

Source ports
Since the release of the engine's source code, various source ports have been released. See the link above for details and recommendations.
Enhancement mods
DOS and all source ports
- Minor Sprite Fixing Project - Corrects sprite offsets and other graphical errors. Compatible with both original DOS release and source ports.
ZDoom-based source ports
- Master Levels Menu Interface - An in-game menu that serves to replace the old DOS program that would launch a chosen WAD of the Master Level for Doom II expansion. This mod allows you to play them in one sitting without restarting the game or loading each individual WAD file.
- WadSmoosh - Combines all the official classic Doom IWADs (Doom, Doom II: Hell on Earth, Master Levels for Doom II, and Final Doom) the user can provide, as well as the No Rest for the Living WAD from Doom 3: BFG Edition, into a single PK3 IWAD with each game selectable as episodes. The bonus secret levels from the Xbox port of Doom 3 can also be integrated.
- Roland SC-55 music packs - Soundtrack for TNT Evilution recorded on an authentic SC-55, the midi player for which the soundtrack was mixed on. Choose either OGG or FLAC; MP3 does not support proper looping. For The Plutonia Experiment, download the Doom I and Doom II soundtracks from higher up on the page and run the linked Windows batch script.
Any source port
- Widescreen Status Bar - Designed for compatible source ports that support widescreen resolutions. In addition to removing the brick patterns that appear on the side of the bar when upscaling it, it also helps prevent graphical glitches that sometimes occurs from the upscaling process. Some source ports may require adjusting the status bar upscaling size manually in their respective options menu to retain the intended aspect-ratio.
Doom Remake 4
- Doom Remake 4 - This is an overhaul pack for Doom 1, 2 that is based on GZDoom source port. It brings 3D models, Hi-Res textures with PBR materials, new visual effects (sparks, smokes, explosions), hires decals and blood splatters.
- Can be used with WadSmoosh by downloading Doom Remake Complete

Yellow keycard missing in MAP31 from TNT: Evilution
- This bug has been patched in some releases of the id Anthology version of Final Doom; GOG.com carries the bug fixed version.
The yellow keycard in MAP31: Pharaoh from TNT: Evilution is missing due to it being accidentally flagged as a multiplayer-only item, making it impossible to complete the level with 100% completion without resorting to cheats.[11]
Use the official patch .WAD file[citation needed] |
