start button?!

[Amburrr]

so i just got the game, and i started it up and everything went fine with that. But then i couldnt figure out how to play the game or select a level, is there a button i need to push or is my game broken?

Pretty sure you hit the Escape key on the menu. Yes, it's odd, but this is a pretty old game, on slightly less older software running it (DOS).

i tried it, but it didnt work and nothing happened. Is my game broken or something?

No, but DOS is very fickle and doesn't work for all.

Google Doom sourceports. They are engines made to run DOOm on more modern machines. I use GZDoom myself, which lets my play with mods like this also:

Sourceports are very easy to install and use. You can even use Steam to record playtime, screenshots etc if you know how to set it up.

Just to be safe, can you link me the GZdoom sourceport download you got it from?

DOSBox does work, it's just that id or Valve never disabled the double-buffering/using DirectDraw from running with DOSBox. This is not an issue with the GOG release.
