     @ieure "Better" is subjective, but it's different enough to warrant a look. It's a combination of DOOM 1 & 2, and while having cuts here and there (most notably using Jaguar levels as a base) it also adds color lighting and an exclusive soundtrack.

     @dosnostalgic Is PSX Doom better than the original PC version in some ways? Curious what the motivation for this port is.

     @dosnostalgic Okay, makes sense, thank you for the explanation.

     Nothing will ever replace the original Slayer ripoff MIDI in my heart, though.

     @ieure The soundtrack is done by Aubrey Hodges, and his console DOOM ports soundtracks (PSX Doom, PSX Final Doom, and Doom 64) are somewhat legendary. They are *very* different from Doom's metal ripoffs. They are long atmospheric sounds of dread & hell.
