What should OG Doom look like?

Hard to tell what the difference is OP. You need to get more screens with the more dynamic lighting for certain areas for comparison. In terms of aspect ratio though the 2nd is far closer.
Never really played doom, but the second looks stretched to me. Which is the original? Spoiler tag it if keeping it secret is part of the thread
320x200 256 colors stretched to 4:3 as originally designed

I can't tell the difference but that's probably cuz I just play on PS4/GzDoom
It should look like this
Like the entire point of the Doom engine is that you don't have to run it in a window like Ultimate Underworld.
There really isn't. We know which one is correct (the 2nd image) entirely because that's just how DOS worked on period hardware. We also know this because the art was explicitly sculpted and imported with the aspect ratio in mind.
Here's a fuller explanation: https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio
DOS Games weren't widescreen.
VGA DOS games were typically rendered in 320x200 resolution, and then stretched to 4:3 on CRT monitors. I always hate it when folks don't activate aspect correction in Dosbox, it just looks wrong. Lots of videos on youtube don't do that.
So yeah, the second one is correct, even though the first one is square pixels. Accuracy focussed source ports like Chocolate Doom will also use the corrected ratio, rightly so.

This is exactly how I played it on my back-then pc :)This is obviously the only proper look for Doom:
Then, because of it, I upgraded to 486DX ;_;
Doom always had mouse aiming, just not vertical aiming. Not only did it have mouse aim but the manual recommends using it.

The mouselook implementation worked terribly in my experience so I just use the keyboard. The best way to play it was with a controller.Doom always had mouse aiming, just not vertical aiming. Not only did it have mouse aim but the manual recommends using it.
