Looks like it's a butchered port. No online multiplayer or co-op.

Also Doom and Doom 2 seem to have DRM included.

Amazing job from Bethesda and id.

I found a new copy of 1 and 2 on the PS3 version of 3 for only $13 USD.  I won.

You really did.

Apparently these require you to register a beth account to play offline/online, which sounds bogus, and sounds like Beth is taking a page from Ubisoft's book, in trying to herd everyone into registering to their service.

They are ancient games, just leave them be, without having to register another account.

What a complete and total joke. I was already himming and hawing, due to having played these to death and the price being a bit iffy, then I read this, and the whole thing is torpedoed. Wouldn't even buy it dirt-cheap in a future sale. Bethesda can take their registration process, with their account, and cram it with walnuts. Right now the most interesting thing about them is the competition they're having with themselves to see if they suck more as a developer or a publisher.
