Review for Doom on PSone.
Taken from CVG 170 - January 1996 (UK)
This was actually the first time I was able to play Doom for myself.
I was blown away that it was just โฌ50 at the time when I was used to SNES games costing โฌ80 on average.
Such a great version of both games.
I wish the modern ports included these iterations...

@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games I always found the PS1 soundtrack for Doom to be really interesting. Ultra-atmospheric and dark. It's weird because it's definitely a completely different vision from the original soundtrack and they had the medium to really break loose with what iD wanted, but instead just went a radically different direction instead. I never really quite understood why they made it so different, but they did interesting things with it.
I'm not sure about the game itself (how much did it really change?) but the soundtrack definitely should be available for people who want something a bit spookier and more atmospheric.

I'm not quite sure about all the changes, but I believe they had to make certain maps smaller and even added a couple maps, but perhaps remove others?
I'm sure there are in-depth videos on all of this.
