I was at Walmart not too long ago, and I saw a version of Doom, Doom II,
and Ultimate Doom (I don't remember that one, but I played tons of Doom
and Doom II stuff, at the time) that plays on current operating systems.
I can't remember all of them that were listed, but since I have Win 98
SE on my old computer, and Win 2000 on my newer computer, I remember
they were there. I can't say or sure that Win XP was there, but I expect
so, since it's the most current home Win home OS.

All the games looked to be on one CD -ROM, and the game cost $10. If you
don't mind spending the money, it would certainly be easier than trying
to get a DOS game to work with more current joystick drivers. Messing
with your config and autoexec files isn't the same as it was in the DOS
system; it's easier to cause problems, in my experience. HTH

And if your computer can handle the huge graphics demand, Doom III is  a
*really* great game.
