After months of using a dinosaur PC with Windows XP, I finally had bought my new Windows 8 laptop. While this operating system is great, I soon found out it doesn't run DOOM through steam.

My first instinct was to smash it.

Luckily, logic prevailed. After awhile of only using source ports for my DOOMing (I used source ports when I finally beat DOOM 1) I finally decided to try and fix this problem. And I did! I now can play DOOM through Steam.

These are the two guides I used. Hopefully they'll work as well for you guys as they did for me.

Happy Dooming.

  Note: Make sure you get the new version of DOS box. It helped me out the most.
