(that's meant to be one line and it should work anywhere, even on your desktop if you include the path & install everything to those paths^)
Again, if memory serves. I just put that into a batch file so I didn't have to open command prompt and type it in manually every time.
The GUI version for setting maps up is confusing with dozens of check boxes and tabs...After initial setup I just use the command line in the form of a batch file. Hope that helps a desperate person out there! One more tip...when you get it set up perfectly, copy the entire directory over to a DVD so that you have the game in working order ready to play, read to be copied back onto your HDD later.
PS windows always says that batch files are evil and will turn your computer into a frog...they work fine and are nothing to be afraid of.

I haven't played a wad in years but in vanilla doom(actual commercial release) you just type Doom -file clevermapname.wad
Or for doom 2:
Doom2 -file clevermapname.wad
Be aware that some maps are doom1 and some are doom2 maps. Doom 2 engine I think runs both? But I know the doom1 engine will not run doom2 maps because of the missing textures and sprites. I do find it weird that there are people using doom who don't know how to pass parameters into an exe from dos. But maybe that's just more "get off my lawn" age showing.

It is not working for me either, and with so many people having problems I do not think it is as easy a clicking on the "how to play" button at the bottom of this page as someone suggested. I am using a IMac and Boxer. The "game" loads. I run it and I get a menu screen. In the first screen I can choose Doom1 or Doom2. Either choice results in a new screen with a "PWAD List", a window saying "levels replaced" and an empty "description" window. You can choose between the PWAD (.wad) list, but what ever choice you make results in a program error. I suspect a person would need to download the original Doom and replace some of the files in that game to make this work.

I like coming on to this site, reading instructions on how to get the game to play and then realizing how much of an idiot I am when it comes to computer stuff

For those who can't run it, extract the .wad and drag it on top of a source port like GZDOOM or Zanundroum. It should be playing then, plus you can get mouselook, which is very handy.

You guys should really consider uploading Hell To Pay and Perdition's Gate, two commercial mega-wads/addons for Doom II. Anyways you can find them here: http://visionsofdoom.us/oldnews.html

For anyone wanting to know how to install/play any of these games, scroll to the bottom of this page (or any other page on My Abandonware) and click on "How To Play".
Also, don't forget that Google can be your friend in times of crisis.

could someone please put up a walkthrough on how to get this thing working on dosbox. I feel like an idiot but I really can't understand it. Either a description here in the comments or a link to a site where there is a description dumbed down enough for me to understand. It would help me a lot. Thanks in advance to you who will help me.

@DERP Sometimes Antivirus failed to check some abandonwares... Open install.bat with a text editor, you'll see there is nothing like a trojan. And FYI, there is no effective antivirus alone, use a multi engine service online like http://www.virscan.org/scan/486fd194fc8ef9ec5227cbb859d09bdb to check files. You'll have a trustable check of your file.

Guys, Norton found a trojan in the install.bat file. Why the hell has no one said anything about this? I mean, that's to be expected when illegally downloading a game, but come on. Give some sort of warning.

Come to think of it, when I played Brutal doom, the command line stuff worked as well...
C:\games\GZDoom\gzdoom -C:\games\GZDoom\mods\paks\brutaldoom19.pk3
(that's meant to be one line and it should work anywhere, even on your desktop if you include the path & install everything to those paths^)
