Thank you very much for your substantive answer to my question! This is my dilemma. On the one hand - as a true fan of this game, I would love to get version 1.1 with a blue logo on the disk label - the important thing is that it is the first registered release, and it comes from 1993 (premiere), and not like version 1.2 from 1994 . It is true that version 1.2 appeared only two months later than version 1.1 and still before the premiere of Doom 2. On the other hand, as you wrote and also others mentioned on this forum - version 1.1 has errors and shortcomings, which were partially fixed in version 1.2 or later (even on floppy disks, along with version 1.1, there was a patch for version 1.2 that fixed some bugs). I'm still wondering. But answers like yours @ludicrous_peridot can help me make a decision. For now, I have come to the conclusion that when it comes to the collection itself, it is worth having version 1.1 on disks. However, when it comes to playability itself, due to errors and missing difficulty levels (like the mentioned nightmare), it is not worth hunting for it so much.

It's definitely about the blue computer room with falling walls and a sign that - depending on the version - has been modified many times. I read about it once and checked it myself (difference in The Ultimate Doom and Doom 1 v. 1.2).

Thank you all very much for your answers, you are great experts of the game. Doom is my favorite game, so I think that if I have enough money, I will buy disks with version 1.1. I already have a box with version 1.2, but it's worth making an exception for Doom - even if version (1.1) contains errors. After all, I grew up with this game. Today, I don't enjoy any games as much as Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, Heretic or Hexen. And Doom was the first for me. If you have any other tips, recommendations or contraindications, please write. All your advice is valuable to me.

Thank you all for your replies. And from your experience, which version do you prefer to play - 1.1 or 1.2?

Hello. I am not an active participant in any forum on the Internet, so please be understanding. I have been a huge fan of Doom since I was a child. I grew up playing this game, it is very important to me, so when I was an adult, I decided to give myself the original registered version 1.2 of Doom (box edition with instructions) on floppy disks, which I bought on ebay. I was able to successfully install the game on my retro computer. Works great. Unfortunately, like me, I read after the fact that version 1.2 comes from 1994 and version 1.1 from 1993 (the premiere Year of the game). My question is: is it worth buying disks with version 1.1 if you already have version 1.2? I read somewhere that apparently version 1.1 contains several bugs. What are your experiences? Which version do you like better? Sorry if a similar thread already exists but I couldn't find it? I'm a huge fan of the original Doom, so I personally don't see anything wrong with having two copies of the game in different versions. But do you think it's worth it? You are experts, I will be extremely grateful for every answer! :)
