I've never played doom before, and I know it's probalby a bit silly question, but...
Are the gog versions of ultimate doom / doom2 / final doom the exact same versions released for dos back in 90's without any changes?

Thank you for explanation!

It's actually hilarious, because you effectively have two versions of DOOM and DOOM II on GOG. The original DOOM and DOOM II in their DOS versions, and the edited versions included in DOOM III BFG.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently considering purchasing Doom and Doom II during the current GOG sale. I’m particularly interested in the DOSBox versions included in this package.

I live in Germany, and I’m aware that in the past, censored versions of both games existed here. For example, secret levels like the Wolfenstein levels in Doom II and certain graphical elements were removed or altered in some versions.

Can anyone confirm if the DOS versions of both Doom and Doom II included in the GOG release are completely uncut, even for German buyers?

I’d really appreciate a definitive answer before making the purchase, as I want to ensure I’m getting the full original experience.

Thanks in advance for your help!

While I (from USA) can confirm the DOSBox version of DOOM 2 I have includes all the symbology that made it illegal in Germany in the secret level (MAP31), I do not know how GoG handles the country you are from or how it handles VPN to hide it, etc when ordering or downloading. If I recall, the secret levels in DOOM 2 are still technically censored / controlled by Germany's group that does this due to that imagery. But otherwise, DOOM was unbanned in 2011-ish.

From what I can tell I have multiple versions of DOOM and DOOM2.
I had the originals, DOSBox. Listed as The Ultimate Doom, DOOM II + Master Levels, and Final Doom.
I have the Bethesda re-release from couple years ago (free as owned the above originals) listed as DOOM I Enhanced and DOOM II Enhanced.
Finally, I have the new DOOM + DOOM II (also came free from owning originals). Which states it includes the original DOS Doom and Doom 2. Because I own so many versions, I am not sure how GoG handles this. I assume buying the new one gets you the original listed ones I mention above. I know the "DOOM + DOOM II" install thru Galaxy does not include the DOSBox/DOS versions in its own folder.

Apologize I can't be more helpful than that.

I know on the store page for the game it says..

'The original DOS versions of DOOM (1993) and DOOM II are included in the GOG version.'

just wondering were those original dos versions are located?

As mentioned in the post above yours, the originals are: The Ultimate Doom, DOOM II + Master Levels, and Final Doom.
They are separate entries in your GOG library.

So nothing to do with the remasters at all?...gotcha.

Since the last update (2713-b0648cc-1186-v2) you can find the original files in the dosdoom\base.

They're not, actually. GOG releases are based on a rare version of id Anthology, which included patched versions of TNT Evilution and Plutonia Experiment with additional bugfixes (both of those had bugs in their original releases, that could prevent you from finishing some maps). Other than that, those are the same as the fully patched original DOS releases.
