What do you mean there were Doom games after 1997?

If you want a true Doom experience and are looking to fill a five- to six-hour time slot without stopping to charge, then Doom II is the way to go. And yes, I am referring to the regular version you buy on Steam. I imagine that running an engine of your choice with the original WAD will likely result in similar battery times, but the more stuff you tack on, the more the battery life is likely to diminish. When you consider that you’re already starting with such a high estimate, there’s probably some room to muck about with mods anyway.

Doom 64 also gets a shoutout here as having more than five hours of battery life. You need to log in to play this one though…so uh, maybe take a shower after playing or something, because it just feels gross. Thanks, Bethesda.
