Pondering the Imponderable

Whilst wandering through Wal-Mart the other day, I happened to come across the DOOM Collector's Edition for just under $10. It includes The Ultimate DOOM (the original DOOM plus the "Thy Flesh Consumed" episode), DOOM II, and Final DOOM (aka The Plutonia Experiment and Evilution). There's a second disc with some DOOM3 preview material on it for those of you who have been living under a rock and have not seen any of it yet. I already had The Ultimate DOOM. At one point I had DOOM II as well, but I had long since given it to J.t.Qbe and he lost it. It's a nice value if you don't already have the games or if your original floppies have died.

J.t.Qbe comments: Guess what I found in the basement last week?

I've been playing it all quite happily using Doomsday and the Sycraft music tracks. Sycraft took the MIDI music and converted it to Ogg Vorbis so it works with Doomsday. Doomsday does allow me to play the actually MIDI tracks using ALSA, but unforunately it won't loop.
