Well now, if you got yourself a Mac and you’re wantin’ to play that ol’ Doom game, then you came to the right place, honey. I know, them newfangled computers ain’t like what we used to have back in the day. But don’t worry, I’ll tell ya how to get GZDoom on your Mac, so you can play Doom like them young folks do. Just follow these steps, and you’ll be shooting demons in no time!
First off, let’s talk about GZDoom. It’s a fancy program, and it’s what you use to make Doom run on them computers that ain’t Windows. This GZDoom thingy works on Mac, and it’ll make that old Doom game run smoother than butter on a hot skillet. Now, for those of you who don’t know, GZDoom is just a special version of Doom that works on modern computers, like your Mac. It’ll let you play the game with better graphics and all them extra features they been adding over the years.
Now, here’s what ya need to do:
- Step 1: First, go ahead and get the GZDoom program. You can find it over at this link here. Just click on it and download the version that says it’s for MacOS. It’s easy as pie, just like picking apples from a tree.
- Step 2: After that, ya need to grab them WAD files. Now, don’t ask me what a WAD is ‘cause I ain’t got no clue, but you gotta have ’em if you wanna play Doom. WAD files are the game data files, so you’ll need Doom I and Doom II at least. You can get ’em off of Steam or even buy ’em on GOG if you don’t mind spending a few dollars. They ain’t too expensive, and it’ll be worth it, trust me.
- Step 3: Once you’ve got all that downloaded, it’s time to open up the GZDoom program on your Mac. Just double click on it, and it’ll start running. You’ll be able to pick which WAD file you wanna use and start playin’ right then and there.
- Step 4: If you want to get a little fancier and play with the Brutal Doom mod (it’s a special version of Doom that makes the game a whole lot bloodier and more intense), you can get that too. It’s just another mod file you download, and GZDoom will let you play that right on your Mac too. Just make sure you’re following all the instructions on the website.
- Step 5: Now, if you got one of them newfangled Apple M1 chips, you might need to do a little extra work, but don’t worry, it’s all covered in the instructions you can find on the same page. Just make sure to read it all carefully, and you’ll get that Doom runnin’ on your Mac like a charm.
Once you got everything set up, you can go ahead and start playing Doom. It’ll look just like it did back in the day, but with way better graphics and smoother controls. And trust me, if you got the Brutal Doom mod, things are gonna get real wild. I’m talkin’ explosions, blood, and all kinds of crazy action!
Now, one thing I gotta tell ya is that if you’re not too tech-savvy, don’t be afraid to ask for help. I know, those young folks nowadays know how to work these gadgets better than I do, so you might wanna call your grandkids or someone younger to give you a hand if you run into any trouble.
But don’t worry none, because once you got it set up, you’ll be all set to enjoy Doom on your Mac. It don’t matter if you got the latest MacBook or one of them old MacBook Airs, this’ll work for ya.
And that’s all there is to it! So now, you get to sit back, relax, and shoot up them demons like you’re back in the good ol’ days of video games. GZDoom on a Mac ain’t as hard as it sounds, and I’m sure you’ll be playing in no time. Good luck, and have fun!
