Crazy to think how something as simple as a soundtrack and moodier lighting can so drastically alter a game. The PSX dooms are really something special.
The guys at what was then called Williams, who developed PSX Doom, said on Doomworld that they had to focus on the single player aspect, hence the creepy, lonely mood. They had no way of knowing whether people would go to the effort of linking consoles, due to the sheer inconvenience involved
@@adammclaughlin845 My brother and I would link consoles almost evert nigh with headsets playing the campaign together. We would scream sometimes out loud and out father would be furious because he had to wake up early for work.
I loved the original DOOM soundtrack, but these tracks are worthy of the same honor. I don't find them scary, but rather atmospheric. I could easily imagine the music in an "Alien" game.
I think the point of making the soundtrack this way for this ports was because that's what they were looking for. Around those times, the demons and such aren't "demons" in their all right, they were beasts from the hell raised by aliens. You can see it in the old novels, where the whole lore managed the beasts more like aliens than demons, with just the Cyber demon being the only demon perse. So the alien atmosphere was the setting in this game because it was the mood the saga was pointing then. You can see they carried it on all the way to Doom 3.
Doom PS1 gave me several nightmares thanks to the soundtrack alone. Though mixed with the imagery it can be a little much for someone as old as I was when I played this for the first time.
This is the only track that sounds kinda sorrowful for what's happening in the game. Sorrow over the thousands of UAC staff that have been killed, sorrow for being marooned on a rock in space all alone, sorrow for the hell that will be and has been released on Earth and the millions dead.
This reminds me of that cold, grey Christmas and winter when we got this game, the shock of seeing map 1 and being in an actual environment has worn off and now the fight begins.
I was looking at old conversations on Doomworld and one of the chaps who worked on PSX Doom claimed that Aubrey Hodges made this music track with just TWO instruments. He said most or all of the tracks Hodges write used two or three instruments at most.
the music completely changes the entire atmosphere of the game. I like this version of doom the best instead of the rock and roll of the original. It feels much more serious and horrorish
I had Doom on PC before the Ps1 version. But never could get the music to play. So when I eneded up getting it for playstation I was blown away but the soundtrack. It wasnt until years later I played a port for the PC version where I heard the metal themed tracks.
Yeah,count me in... i like it too! Over the original metal themed pc soundtrack,i prefer this one,since it changes the atmosphere completely,well,its not as if the original isn't good and badass but,overall this one fits more in certain levels,and some others,i prefer the original.
This Soundtrack is incredible it brought such a different vibe to the original soundtrack. This always has been my favourite version of doom because of this
Level 2 plant! Ohh I loved playing this on ultra violence, everywhere you go chaingunguys shooting at me like no tomorrow!😨 also the very first time I heard this track. This has now fallen to one of my favourite doom tracks of all time. So creepy and ....unbelievable.
rockhardgamer 45 if you have the reason this game but I have a question? because I have a different intro music, the menu and HUD also is not black, it is gray like the pc please answer me and never delete these musics I really like :)
When this song comes to mind, I now no longer think of the fallen of the UAC facilities but the Argent D'Nur's landscapes, filled with desolation mostly the collapsed temples and statues that held such high places of regard for warriors of sword and shield.
+Vriska Serket Oh yeh sorry xD Read that wrong :P But I prefer this version of the track but the Watch your Step version has a lot more nostalgia as it was my favourite level for such a long time when I was young. So many good memories of this game :D
I use Hodges' Doom tracks for my horror themed Starfinder campaign. Really sets the tone of the players against the Old Ones allying with demonic forces to sow chaos and madness.
This series of soundtracks should be the true music for the Doom game it fits it perfectly too bad you don’t hear it anymore with any of the Doom games after this but Doom 64 was close.
This music... is... SCARY! But it isn't the music I was looking for, level 2 Plant for the game Ultimate Doom. But this music is so freakin' scary!!! I love it!
Another stage that I remember that really goes with this cool but scary music. Nirnava I think, but this stage was so hard and insane for it was full of monsters & demons. This stage should be the semifinal stage.
@iniche It didn't stop, although that's probably because I was using a laptop at the time. If it continued without any power source at all, I'd probably have hurled myself through a window.
@iniche I still think crashing through a window is the better option. Although given the situation I wouldn't be surprised if I somehow fell back through the damn thing.
This was my first Doom experience. I was 9 at the time and was already hooked on the PS1 from games like Resident Evil 1 and MediEvil. The chain gun was my favorite gun on this game. Plant was my favorite level because of the chain gun. Best Doom out still! Horror themed video games are still my favorite genre of games.
@BaronOfStuff Heh, yeah, I'm obsessed with scary music like these. Of course, it turns against me when it's dark and late night and scary movie thoughts are invoked...
@BaronOfStuff Well, of course! If the music was still playing from a computer needing a power source after the power went out, I think I'd cringe and shiver in a corner.
@BaronOfStuff LATE reply, but... *shudders* I'd hate to be listening to tracks these scary right before a power cut. Because then, somehow I don't think the music stops there...
Indeed, I also hated how they would put Arachnotrons in a couple of the levels in like, the most, erm, how do I say, annoying places where it was hard to hit them as well.
@Superfrog938 Ah, didn't know about that one, at least we are now fellow final doomers (sorta. :p) Because I could never get pass the 8th map on the master levels which is why I never got to listen to this epic music.
If you want to play doom psx on your PC, you have to run Zandronum, and launch wadseeker. Look for these Iwads : | brutalv20.pk3 / sc.wad / psxdoom.wad |.. Then create your own game and add these Iwads/wads to your add-on list. Launch it, and have fun ! :3
Well, I can't argue with the map geometry, but you're most likely one of the many who hated the monster placement. Again, I can see why. Too much reliance on Chaingunners/Revenants is usually the argument.

The music for the PSX version of Doom, especially this piece, makes me think of John Carpenter and Ennio Morricone's music.
I loved the original DOOM soundtrack, but these tracks are worthy of the same honor. I don't find them scary, but rather atmospheric. I could easily imagine the music in an "Alien" game.
This music would go spot on with Alien Trilogy.

I have to say it has an eerie yet melancholy feel to it, anyone else think the same to an extent?
Oh yeah! I have always felt that way about some of these songs and even this one!
Now that you mention it. Yes it does have a tinge of melancholy to it.
Yes, I sometimes get a tiny feeling of anxiety with Aubrey Hodges Soundtrack.
It gives of more of a horrific atmosphere
Doom PS1 gave me several nightmares thanks to the soundtrack alone. Though mixed with the imagery it can be a little much for someone as old as I was when I played this for the first time.
It's definitely got a melancholy feel to it and at the same time, great for a horror game. I love this track so much. The Broken ones.
As far as I know, this song is used for the levels: Plant, Halls of the damned, and Nirvana.
The plant is such a memorable level for me. I remember it so vividly. And getting the secret chainsaw felt like an achievement in of Itself!
This is the only track that sounds kinda sorrowful for what's happening in the game. Sorrow over the thousands of UAC staff that have been killed, sorrow for being marooned on a rock in space all alone, sorrow for the hell that will be and has been released on Earth and the millions dead.
That's why we're Here to help stop this invasion!!!
This track makes me think of the state of Doomguy's mind. The demons are all coming for him and he's completely alone.
@@Hesh_NCI'd say it's more like trying to survive and get back home in this version
This reminds me of that cold, grey Christmas and winter when we got this game, the shock of seeing map 1 and being in an actual environment has worn off and now the fight begins.
I was looking at old conversations on Doomworld and one of the chaps who worked on PSX Doom claimed that Aubrey Hodges made this music track with just TWO instruments. He said most or all of the tracks Hodges write used two or three instruments at most.
my favorite song off of this game. It was the first game I bought when psx came out, I'll never forget it.

The PC versión es much better than psone
It really puts a serious overtone to what's going on and makes it creepy as fuck when there's a dark room in the game.
This chills me out and gives me goosebumps at the same time to this day. It really changes the game into an atmospheric 90's horror game. I love it.
Ever since I was a little kid this has been one of my favourites.
Alright, this is the second time I woke up today and thought about this song. I must miss the old Doom on Playstation a lot.
This Soundtrack is incredible it brought such a different vibe to the original soundtrack. This always has been my favourite version of doom because of this
Same here. It's like a completely different game on PS1.
looking for the blue key while being hunted by scary Imps throwing fireballs at me as I try to not go in the lava
Watch your step...
This is Bad Ass! My fav gives me spine chills the whole way through..
Level 2 plant! Ohh I loved playing this on ultra violence, everywhere you go chaingunguys shooting at me like no tomorrow!😨 also the very first time I heard this track. This has now fallen to one of my favourite doom tracks of all time. So creepy and ....unbelievable.

rockhardgamer 45 As far as I can recall, there were only... 3 chaingunners on that level? For me it was the shotgunners that posed the bigger problem.
This is in my top five Doom tracks of all time.
is it weird that i find this music strangely calming
...as the blood pores from your eyes, you decide to remain in hell...
kerbal666 Nah, I'd prefer turning Hell inside out and shaking everything out of it.
i love that the music in the psx port brings a horror vibe to the game while also being action packed
When this song comes to mind, I now no longer think of the fallen of the UAC facilities but the Argent D'Nur's landscapes, filled with desolation mostly the collapsed temples and statues that held such high places of regard for warriors of sword and shield.
Hugs the corner, checks ammo, looks around, man this shit is getting worse... Slowly advances toward the door
Doom (each version) has such an amazing sound track.
If these tracks played during Doom 3, it would probably be a bit more enjoyable than the dead silence
I personally enjoy this one because it reminds me of it's remix used in Watch Your Step from Doom 64 :D
Those were good times.
+Vriska Serket Watch your step is a remix of this track. Exactly the same track but its remixed in small ways.
DJD_GunnerZ That's... Exactly what I just said?
But yes, I like the PSX OST because of their D64 counterparts that I loved so much as a child.
+Vriska Serket Oh yeh sorry xD Read that wrong :P But I prefer this version of the track but the Watch your Step version has a lot more nostalgia as it was my favourite level for such a long time when I was young. So many good memories of this game :D
If I'm right, I'm pretty sure it's the same soundtrack for both levels
@@doomguypsx4471 *4 years later * yes it is and I wish their was an option to turn on PSX Doom for 1 and 2 on switch :(
thanks for putting these up mate,... takes me back ,...love the old doom series!
would replace the skyrim cave musics for this one in an instant.
Except Beneath The Ice in falmer caves
How the hell did the soldiers lose the battle on Phobos??
On Deimos and in Hell, fair enough. But Phobos!?
Im very sure this was remixed in Doom 64 as the track for "Watch Your Step"
I use Hodges' Doom tracks for my horror themed Starfinder campaign. Really sets the tone of the players against the Old Ones allying with demonic forces to sow chaos and madness.
Used it semi-frequently in the Warhammer 40,000 Dark Heresy games I dm'ed.
We have some serious musical skills in this one. Congrats Aubrey Hodges
the anthem of psx/saturn doom
As have I, Doom I + II I've beat quite a few times, Final Doom I've beat a couple times as well, they never get old and the nostalgia is awesome.
This series of soundtracks should be the true music for the Doom game it fits it perfectly too bad you don’t hear it anymore with any of the Doom games after this but Doom 64 was close.
Best one. It was also in a Doom 3 mod I played.
No at all. Go listen to 10 and 19 the true chillest ones.
To me, this music is very relaxing.
I've been playing DOOM since it came out. This version blew me away with the sound and music.
You're literally alone....
Alone is an understatement
This is kinda..melancholy. I love this piece.
This is the song i hear after a friend who fought those demons beside me dies.
Warning....Nostalgia-Overload!.....Warning......Nostalgia-Overload!.....Warning! I repeat....Nostalgia-Overload!
Holy cow, I bought that Doom for my Playstation, It´s the best music around all versions of Doom, that brought atmosphere to the game.
This music... is... SCARY!
But it isn't the music I was looking for, level 2 Plant for the game Ultimate Doom.
But this music is so freakin' scary!!! I love it!
This song brings back memories
Another stage that I remember that really goes with this cool but scary music. Nirnava I think, but this stage was so hard and insane for it was full of monsters & demons. This stage should be the semifinal stage.
@iniche
It didn't stop, although that's probably because I was using a laptop at the time. If it continued without any power source at all, I'd probably have hurled myself through a window.
the same music of Final Doom Level 12: Subterra
@iniche
I still think crashing through a window is the better option. Although given the situation I wouldn't be surprised if I somehow fell back through the damn thing.
This track is what it would really be like. The sound of demons in the distance all around you. I love the original but this is far better for Doom.
Great music for a haunted house!!!
This was my first Doom experience. I was 9 at the time and was already hooked on the PS1 from games like Resident Evil 1 and MediEvil. The chain gun was my favorite gun on this game. Plant was my favorite level because of the chain gun. Best Doom out still! Horror themed video games are still my favorite genre of games.
I could probably fall asleep to this track.
Watch Your Step
the sound remembers me a strange type of cursed fate such as a no cure disease chasing an entire family... crazy!
I want it echoing in my old mansion aka my dream home and have it booming from my Hi-Fi to scare my relatives.
@truearea53
Not too far off the finale, I think Monster Condo got the music track right though to be honest.
Bring it back !!!! another ps1 style doom!!!!
rockhardgamer 45 That would be the best version of Doom. A perfect mix of horror and action.
This style of Doom with more mood and horror is better then the original version.
Brutal doom mod makes already the best shooter even better....never get bored especially with the random level generator...keep me busy for hours.
There are rumors about Doom 64 remaster. It would be amazing if Bethesda features both Doom 64 and PS1 tracks.
@@doomhakuo2107 That would be amazing...but if you haven't tried Brutal Doom I highly suggest you give it a go ^^

I could probably fall asleep to this track. -
Yeah, if you wanted to have nightmares. :-) lol music creeps me out.
Idk.While its pretty creepy, its sounds very calming to me actually.Probably because i grew up playing playstation DooM tough.
Tom Handcock
I don't have nostalgia for the PSX version or anything but it does sound pretty calming
Same...
@iniche
Well you might like the places then, but I guarantee you'd hate the goddamn power cuts.
Lol.
Yes Marky, Doom ia based on 100% real demons, and of course the music isn't scary, it's so very uplifting!
sometimes its best to wait back and let hell do its worst
The sounds of an Amazon fulfillment center
@BaronOfStuff Heh, yeah, I'm obsessed with scary music like these. Of course, it turns against me when it's dark and late night and scary movie thoughts are invoked...
@iniche
I can't remember if I've seen that or not. If I have, I must have caught it mid-way through, and I was probably drunk.
@BaronOfStuff Well, of course! If the music was still playing from a computer needing a power source after the power went out, I think I'd cringe and shiver in a corner.
Creepy as hell!
@BaronOfStuff Nirvana In PSX Doom 2 has this music as well
@truearea53 Yes you are right this is Nirvana soundtrack as well.
Doom's Best Creepy Music EDN .
@BaronOfStuff LATE reply, but... *shudders* I'd hate to be listening to tracks these scary right before a power cut. Because then, somehow I don't think the music stops there...
It was. They should've gone 15 for 15 in Final Doom, 15 from TNT, 15 From Plutonia, Master levels shouldn't have been included.
Indeed, I also hated how they would put Arachnotrons in a couple of the levels in like, the most, erm, how do I say, annoying places where it was hard to hit them as well.
@truearea53 You are right this is Nirvana soundtrack as well
@BaronOfStuff Heh, now that's freaky. In that event, I'm sure cowering in a corner isn't far off from your next option :)
music of my fallen....
music of your dead body under the red sky of hell and between lots of demons
and ppl ask me: how come it's scary for you? you just shoot stuff
There's something about the beginning and the background portions that remind me of Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003 remake).
I purchased a mint copy of Doom (PSX) from Ebay for 10 bucks. Its not that hard to find. I beaten it 3 times so far.
good times
@BaronOfStuff Hehe, perhaps. But I love adventure.
@Unrulyevil5 nope its on niravan and thew others in final doom
These songs are better than the PC ones
Dark Halls
For some reason it sounds like a terminator future war ambience or Chernobyl / Pripyat like if it was S.T.A.L.K.E.R
I think this song is only played on the Plant level
@Superfrog938 Ah, didn't know about that one, at least we are now fellow final doomers (sorta. :p) Because I could never get pass the 8th map on the master levels which is why I never got to listen to this epic music.
This would be perfect for Blood.
Master Chief & the Arbiter disliked this.
More like John Price and Soap Mac Tavish despise this track.
@iniche
You'd hate some of the places I have to go to, then.
should this be my funeral song?
no
thats to creepy
It's Terminatory.

Plutonia was kind of a let down for me.
On PSX? I can see why. While it's fun, it's barely 20% of the intended mapset.
