That would be totally incorrect. Both Ultimate Doom and original Doom have the right to be on AB.

However, the chances of getting an original copy of Doom is near impossible, The Ultimate Doom is the more well-known version of it.

That doesn't allow us to change game titles... If you can't find the original Doom, then just review Ultimate Doom, which will be referred to as Ultimate Doom onsite. I know there was the case with Blood-One Unit Whole Blood, but what you suggest is actually the opposite of that.

Sounds fair to me, by the way, could we at least refer to the full version of Doom as 'Doom' and the shareware version as 'Doom 1' in line with the full version? The reason I'm asking this is because of the IWAD structure with shareware being 'doom1.wad' and the full version being 'doom.wad'.

It has been agreed that Doom and The Ultimate Doom are two different products, and therefore, if such a article are made for them, they would need to have two different reviews for them. I'm just wondering how many people have a copy of the original Doom though.

An update on this is that Doom and The Ultimate Doom will share the same article, on the basis that a review is done for this, with The Ultimate Doom being simply an additional section to the Doom article, should be simpler that way.

Who decided this?

Well, technically I did, yet if you wish to question it, feel free to. The problem is deciding what would be the best way to get around the Doom/Ultimate Doom problem and this appears to be the best way.

Lol, of course I question it. There is absolutely no reason why you would need to upload the Ultimate Doom archive under the Doom title. Why? That already puts doubt on our reviews, because you're trying to review a 4-eps game but specify it's only a 3-eps one (the title).

Also I already lost considerable time correcting the titles on AB. I corrected at least 100 titles, so I consider myself a title perfectionist. I'm against uploading a game then calling it completely differently.

What I meant was that have the review mostly be about Doom, yet include maybe a section at the end detailing The Ultimate Doom and what it added, the buylink would be redirecting to The Ultimate Doom anyway, and it would mean that we would only need one review instead of the two.
