Doom on the super nintendo rocks!In some ways, its actually better than the pc version. For example,a rocket blast will not throw you around as in the pc game,but at the same time make getting the tower of mystery quite a bit more challenging.Some of the worst gore was removed, making the game more acceptable for younger players.Only 2 textiles were simplified when translating the game,the lava and the radioactive floor.The frame rate is better than most converted pc shooters,giving the game a more realistic feel and ambiance.All of the frightening lighting effects are still present,i.e. a blackout when you grab a key or weapon.The b.f.g.9000 still can take out several Barons,and the chainsaw is even rustier and meaner than ever,ready to tear through a room of demons like soggy kleenex.The game has no save feature, but instead starts at the level you died in with ALL OF YOUR WEAPONS.The game also has a multiplayer option for those of you with an X-band transmitter,which makes it even better. Overall, I loved the game, and would highly recomend it to anyone who likes first-person shooter games.

Fantastic -- from the sound effects to the music. Game play is smooth and the only down side is there is no 'save' feature. However, this only serves to make it more challenging. This game is a classic and still the best first person shooter of all times. DOOM is NOT dead!

Oh man, this game is just great. The best sound out of any other Doom, and considering it is for the SNES,the graphics aren't bad either, but if you just got done playing Playstation 2 you will be suffering from a collosal eyesore. This game brings back the joy of releasing anger onto monsters with a Shotgun, hey, it's a guilty pleasure. Just get it!!!

Doom is one of my favorite games. I also like the PC version, same levels and music. I don't mind if a few levels were taken out, but I like this game VERY much. The ratings are here:

"DOOM" for the Super Nintendo is an excellent port of the PC version. Of course, the SNES can't handle "DOOM" perfectly, so, some things were lost in the translation. Things that weren't lost consist of awesome and very creepy graphics (some even look better than on the Playstation version!), 23 of the original 27 levels, great instrumental remixes of the original PC music, cool weapons (nothing beats the BFG 9000), good gameplay and control, and constant action. What was lost consists of a few levels, one monster, all ceiling and floor textures, a few sound effects, some graphics, and a really good framerate. While things can get sluggish at times (and getting stuck on walls is a major pain), everything else is great. The music will creep you out, the monsters will make you run away in terror, and the weapons will make you come right back, blasting away. I, sometimes, actually prefer this version of "DOOM" over any other version! If you have a Super Nintendo and love shooting games, you *MUST* have this game. That's my two cents.

I have to say. the graphics are pretty bad even for super nintendo.
The game is very fun. Its one of my favorite games. And I Recommend you buy it if you like doom.

About the graphics..

The fact that there are no floor and cieling textures is pretty unappealing. But I understand why they made it that way.

for one. Its pretty difficult for the snes to run the game sometimes.
The fps will occasionaly go to about 15 fps. it wont affect gameplay much.
but it dose make the game look even choppier.

2nd. the way you can only look at sprites from thefront is kinda dissapointing. It would be nice to be able to sneak up on enemies from behind.

3rd.

Sometimes items on the floor can be hard to see.
This isnt a big problem. but when you desparatly need health it can sometimesbe hard to find any.. even if its all over the place.
But that might just be me.

All in all. Doom on the Snes is a good game and I tottaly recommend it.

Just dont expect the graphics to look good..

Doom is without a doubt one of the best games ever made and created the FPS genre. The character designs are excellent for the time along with the graphics despite the fact it was released in 1992. The gameplay still shines even on its console debut. The gore is still nicely done along with its creative weapons. No other moment in my time as a gamer has been more special than when I discovered the chainsaw on the game and killed many enemies with it. Some of the challenges are still difficult to this day along with the bosses like an enemy that takes 70 shots to kill. And it's still kinda creepy. If you never played the game that helped create your favorite FPS games, do yourself a favor and find a copy of this amazing game.

I think the game play is great the music was good but the main thing that made me give this a low rating are none other than the lacking of the graphics they are absolutely horrible and it makes it really hard to see where you going sometimes.

Well thats all I got to say, This game would have been great if it weren't for the attrocious graphics and I think the PC version was alot better.

The censoring is no big deal, however, there are some negatives to this port.

The game is a bit slow, not that much though. The game is rather dark too, so enemies can be hard to spot. The game's window is smaller then usual too.

However, this game is still awesome, and classic.

By the way, this game comes with a RED cartridge.

Now if I had the choice, yes the PC version of Doom is superior to this. However! When this came out back in the 90's, a lot of us didn't have PC's. And if we did, they weren't "gaming PC's". It's not like today where every PC has software installed upon purchase that can play most games. Back in the day you had to install extra graphics cards & misc software to get games to run correctly. It was just a lot easier for the rest of us to pick up the port. And that we did! While the graphics are pretty ugly by today's standards, this is still a very playable game. And for those who can appreciate it, a TON of fun! Also, for those of us with a larger SNES collection, that bright red cartridge is pretty badass :-P You never have to look far for DOOM!
