If you have the WAD files, games-fps/dom3 _is_ the old school Doom3. Works 
perfectly except for the screen resolution, not very high but fine enough.

A certain guy with beautiful hair called John Romero, who recently released
a new WAD, recommends gzdoom.
Either that or prboom will work just fine, though.

Personally, I've used games-fps/prboom-plus, which is in the tree. 
games-fps/doomsday is very much not vanilla, but is also in the tree 
(and has a GUI and stuff) I've had friends that used Chocolate Doom, but 
I don't think that's in the tree.

Dear all,
	Does anyone have any suggestions as to the current "best" port of old 
school Doom? Spent ages playing this in the dim dark days and wouldn't 
mind doing a quick install and having a go again.
