Description from the creator

2017 Edit:
Right off the bat, I want to let you guys know that this is not representative of the quality of work that I put out. This was something I made 4 years back now, I was still learning my editing software at the time, and threw this together for a presentation. Here's the updated version:
youtube.com/watch?v=orX8Tpzvhk0

On top of that, there have been several things I have learned, from comments, and from my own research, about DOSBox. I made a video pretty recently going a bit more in-depth in certain areas I missed for this video, as well as better video and audio editing. It's not a full explanation of all of the functions of DOSBox, but it gives a more clear picture of the ins and outs than this video did for some people.

tl;dr: Check out the pinned comment, or the end-card for a link to my updated video on DOSBox, with better conveyed information, as well as better editing! I also make other gaming-related content!

**edit**
At 0:22, the only reason there's a flash instead of what was supposed to be a picture of the original Duke Nukem is because YouTube screwed it up somehow.

This was made for my intro to computer info science class as a presentation on whatever subject we chose as a tutorial, so I figured I'd make it like I'd make it for YouTube.

Doom Source Ports:
Before choosing, I thought I'd say that I personally prefer Zandronum, but what that boils down to is I'm used to it because I was used to Skulltagger.
ZDoom- zdoom.org/News
Zandronum- zandronum.com/

Anyone who wants to amp up their Doom Experience, go ahead and watch this video:

In the description, there's a link to everything you need to get the files to play Brutal Doom, PS1 Doom, and the version of Doom I recently discovered by messing with .bat files, Brutal PS1 Doom! I would honestly consider Brutal PS1 Doom to be the definitive Doom experience.

Here's the link to the song at the end.
