DoomScroll: Dive into Decades of Fan-Made Levels
14 Dec
Summary
- DoomScroll website allows playing thousands of user-made Doom WADs.
- Created by James Baicoianu and Jason Scott for Doom's 32nd birthday.
- Some WADs may not function due to emulator limitations.
A new online platform called DoomScroll has emerged, offering unprecedented access to a vast archive of user-created Doom WADs. This innovative website allows players to browse and experience thousands of modifications for the classic first-person shooter directly within their web browser, celebrating the game's enduring legacy.
Developed over several years by James Baicoianu and archivist Jason Scott, DoomScroll was released to coincide with Doom's 32nd birthday. The project aims to showcase the creativity of the Doom modding community, featuring everything from simple early maps to complex total conversions with custom assets and music.
While the site generally provides a seamless experience with familiar controls, some users have noted that certain WADs may not function correctly due to the emulator's limitations. Additionally, concerns have been raised about the redistribution of projects without creators' explicit permission, though the platform is otherwise praised as a fantastic way to explore Doom's rich history of fan-made content.
