1.0 out of 5 stars DOOM, October 1, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Doom for Pocket PC (CD-ROM)

Warning! This program will NOT let you install it to a storage card--you MUST install it to your main device. AND although the box says the program takes 8MB --it in fact takes 15MB of storage AND 11 MB of RAM to work-- so if you have 32MB you are DEAD! This game takes 26MB !!!!! I never got it to work--the box is entirely misleading and WRONG. ...

Doom was a difficult enough game with the keyboard, but on your PDA this game is just plain hard. It's just too hard to play with a PDA D-Pad and have any success at all. This was totally not the game for me and I shouldn't have bought it. Honestly, FPS is not the thing you want on your PDA. The better choice would be something like Simcity 2000 or that Everquest Game. Something that is primarily played with the stylus because hammering your D-Pad with a game like this will ruin it forever. No sense in damaging your PDA.

Like the previous review, I was very disappointed that you could not install the product to a storage card. I had to clean everything off the Pocket PC main memory and I got the program running, but my main memory is gone once loaded. I am still attempting to get it to work on a storage card, but with little success so far.
