So is like doom and doom 2 availble at the main menu of BFG edition? Does it support 16:9 widescreen for all games as well?

not really, if you try to change your resolution, you get a blackscreen, except for Doom 3

-Doom (1993) This is the original game.
+ The Ultimate Doom (1995) This has everything the original game has + adds a new episode "Thy Flesh Consumed" (9 additional levels)

- Doom II: Hell On Earth (1994) This is the original sequel for the first game.
+ Master Levels for Doom II (1995) This adds 21 additional levels made by various people + over 1800 additional maps from over the internet. It's basically a compilation of maps from the internet. Not a lot of story. I personally wouldn't bother with this one.
+ No Rest for the Living (2010) This adds 9 additional levels. Wasn't bad, wasn't great, if you get it in a bundle I would play it.

Final Doom (TNT: Evilution and The Plutonia Experiment) (1996)
This is kind of a continuation of Doom II but wasn't made by the original creators. There are 32 additional levels made by TNT: Evilution and another 32 additional levels known as The Plutonia Experiment. It is known to be a lot harder than Doom & Doom II.

- Doom 3 (2004) This is the original sequel for the second game.
+ Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil (2005) This adds 12 additional levels.
+ Doom 3 BFG Edition (2012) This has everything Doom 3 has + Resurrection of Evil + The Lost Mission (8 additional levels for Doom 3) + Ultimate Doom + Doom II: Hell On Earth + No Rest for the Living. Doom and Doom II version are somewhat edited though.

Hope this helps :)

Depends on your mood,if you prefer Fast paced and Challenging Gameplay,go get one of the Older Games and be prepared for Tons of Hours full of Joy,and you may also discover one of the Nicest and Biggest Mod Communitys ever.

BfG is good to start i would say.
I like Doom 3,it has a really nice Scifi Horror Athmosphere,but as i bought the Bfg Edition i noticed after Hours of playing,that i mostly played Doom 1 and 2.
So with Bfg you get Tons of Gameplay Hours,no matter wich one of them you play in the end.

If you want higher Res for the older Games,go to Google and look for gzdoom =)

Doom3: BFG Edition is probably the best one you can get for Doom games. Only Doom game missing in this collection is Final Doom, but that is pretty much the same as Doom2 but with new maps and nothing else new. Plus, the BFG Edition includes exclusive content not available to any other Doom release: the graphics have been updated to look better on modern systems, higher resolution support, gameplay improvements, new exclusive maps for Doom3 and Doom2, etc.

Ultimate Doom first, then Doom 2. Also get Final Doom and if possible find a bundle that includes Ultimate Doom, Final Doom, and Master Levels. Play Doom 3 BFG absolutely last.

Please seriously do not listen to anyone who says "Doom 3 is the best", they are absolute crackheads who didn't grow up playing Doom. Doom 3 is garbage.

The package is a good compilation, but you're still better off owning the games separately and then just buying BFG edition for Doom 3.

Buy DOOM BFG....ps when you will play DOOM 1 and 2 with mods like Brutal DOOM v20 ask me I will help you than....you can add me when you will

Hi, Blu3_Puls3

Just to elaborate on Sgt. Miller's post:
I also have a 16:9 monitor. No, Doom I and II don't support 16:9, but you can still play it. They seem to be using the resolution in the originals(?) In both of them you have the in-game option: Fullscreen Yes/No. 'Yes' will have black margins left and right, and 'No' will let you play it in a window (also with the black margins).

And yes, I would recommend getting the BFG Edition, because it includes I, II & 3, as well as 3's expansions. Great stuff. Doom 3 has always been a GREAT game, whether you buy it separately or as part of the BFG Edition. Other posts have already given info on the individual games, so I'm not going to do that. I'll just say again: Go with the BFG Edition.

BFG big time:)
