I have been wanting to play the original DOOM 1 and 2 but I am not sure what's a good way to experience it proper.
I know about UZdoom but I hear it changes things that affect the original gameplay. There's also just playing the re-release version but not sure how optimal it is. I am also open for QoL mods like visibility/eye-strain stuff.
The rerelease is good, but some of the wads were changed iirc.
I think Chocolate Doom is what youre looking for in terms of an authentic experience with some modern QOL. It also has a mod friendly fork called Crispy Doom.
However if you want the most features and widest mod compatability UZDoom is the correct choice. If you do use it this is a guide to make it look like the OG: https://youtu.be/9JC8fnz_L3k
