i like a lot of japanese vertical scrolling shooters, so games like DoDonPachi and Soukyugurentai are gems to me. you can get these for Playstation (I own them for sega saturn but the playstation DonPachi is way better than the saturn one). there's also this badass game that's like the isometric top down levels from Contra 3 Alien Wars, it's called LOADED. really cheesy Twisted Metal type characters and atmosphere but awesome graphics and gameplay.

@Rince-wind that stuff reminds me of someone who grew up on Bosch, Dali, and Roald Dahl and ate a whole lotta mushrooms over time.

playing wads and Quake 1 levels, and trying games like Powerslave / Exhumed (think an Egyptian-themed Doom clone, for those who never heard of it). listening to music. same as any other day, i haven't changed my lifestyle one bit as i haven't needed to. now everyone is living the same way i have for almost a decade.

try Grim Dawn sometime, i think it's far better with the Ashes of Malmouth expansion pack (and the Forgotten Gods expansion, but the vanilla game alone simply isn't enough content).

found another cool one called ALIENS ERADICATION, last release was a few weeks ago, still in development. and an older one, Evil Dead 2- Dead By Doom. it only works on older gzdoom versions but it's worth downloading 1.9.1 to play it with. Aliens Ultimate Doom SE also looks good. the original 1994 Aliens TC is just outmoded at this point, i only listed it in the OP because it's fairly well known. agreed, Harmony is worth mentioning, though I'm personally in the same boat as you I'm sure there are people who would be all about it. much like the Adventures of Square, another really well done TC where I'm not crazy about the style but very respectable and impressive works. I tried Total Chaos a couple months ago, was super hyped after seeing screenshots and reading about it, but thought the gameplay was very slow. being a survival horror mod that makes sense but it just isn't for me. for fans of slowpaced survival horror games like Silent Hill perhaps they'd like it. it looks incredible and seems to take the power of gzdoom to its fullest heights. Alien Breed into the Doom engine? that's a worthy conversion. That FateDoom is really accurate to the original demo. I tried that before playing the TC and the conversion is close as you could get. Kinda surprised there's no Kirby Dreamland total conversion

I saw another on the site that had Splatterhouse 3D called ROBOCOP Doom. also, PIRATES! Doom. both look super high quality. i played Strange Aeons with the Rylayeh wad last night. crazy stuff.

i mean, fans of k-pop are walking around out there too. there's always gonna be people who respect prefabricated slop paraded around as art, you be you.

they might. there are rumblings.

so what, that's the least important of the three things i mentioned

yes source ports, but vanilla doom = doom.exe

list as many as you can, i'm a total newbie to the idsoftware community until this year. and this thread can be very helpful to others, i hope! or someone can use posts from here to create a compendium thread of all the total and partial conversions. that's what i'm hoping for.

Since there have been so many total conversions for Doom over the years, some good examples being: Army Of Darkness (evil dead) Doom 64 Absolution Batman Aliens Metroid (spram's) Sonic Robo Blast 2 (kart racing) Metroid Dreadnought (based on the Metroid Prime series) Hocus Pocus Mega Man 8-bit deathmatch Castlevania Simon's Destiny Jazz Jackrabbit, so many others Even Shadowman's Diablo-style action RPG wads like The Inquisitor 3 and the new 'Ascension' which looks to be another 70+ hour hyper detailed RPG extravaganza. That guys maps are top tier every time. I made this thread hoping to maybe find some cool total conversions I've missed, and let's mention partials that are super worthy, why not. I don't think Doom 4 Vanilla and Hellforged count as total conversions but they sure are awesome. There was one thread about "what's your favorite TC", but it's from 2009 full of bickering about Hacx and Chex Quest. Danger zone. My favorite TC right now is Castlevania Simon's Destiny.
