Amazon.com Product Description

The final chapter of the Doom series. It's Doom with two new 32-level episodes. It's time to finish what you started. Evilution: Far from Earth, the UAC recommenced their experiments on one of the moons of Jupiter. A spaceship, mistaken on radar for a supply vessel, hovered above the base. Hideous demons poured out, blanketing the base with death. All your comrades were quickly slaughtered or zombified. This time, it's not about survival. It's about revenge. The Plutonia Experiment: Every effort has been made by the nation's top scientists to close the seven interdimensional Gates of Hell, but one portal remains open. Alone, you must infiltrate the ravaged complex, defeat the demon Gatekeeper, and seal the last Hellhole before the undead prepare, once again, to take over the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars The one that started the craze, and still fun, July 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Final Doom (CD-ROM)

Anybody that calls DOOM "very poor" does not know his gaming history, among other things.

Wolfenstein 3D was arguably the grandaddy of FPS games, but DOOM is the one that really started the craze. I was absolutely addicted to DOOM when it came out.

If you have been weened on only the newer 3D accelerated games such as Half Life, Quake III, and Unreal Tournament, then DOOM's non-accelerated "2.5D" graphics might look very dated and ugly to you these days. But in 1994, this was IT. And guess what? For pure shoot-em-up gameplay, weapon balance, and atmosphere, it is STILL hard to beat DOOM.

I am still giving this one 5 stars. It will always be a classic. Any game that can suck me in and keep me, red-eyed, staring at my monitor for months on end (with DM play and user maps)...well, you can't ask for much more than that.

Though I, too, have moved on to other newer games, if you've never played DOOM before, you owe it to yourself to experience it. Fantastic stuff.

It's Doom. Doom. It's hard to believe, but it's possible that a lot of people are too young to have played this when it came out, all of seven years ago. Basically, you run around a series of techno / medieval levels, shooting things. It's very simple and good fun - indeed, it's a lot more fun than the technologically-superior follow-up 'Quake'. If you've ever wanted to mow down a room full of zombies with a burst of chaingun fire, this is the game for you. It's a modern classic, and just as much fun as it ever was - as with 'Wolfenstein' you can only really play it in fifteen-minute bursts before getting bored, but the small size and speed of the game on modern machines means that you can use it as a desktop toy, a diversion whilst doing something else. And as a piece of history it's unsurpassed, network game and all.

This package contains the original 'Doom' and two extra sections, both of which are very hard indeed. The game has been updated for Windows '95, and can run at a slightly higher resolution to the original. Note that there's a superior 'Doom Collection' out there, which compiles 'Final Doom', 'Doom 2', and a thousand-odd extra levels.

In addition, it's worth finding the 'GLDoom' patch, which enables 3D-acceleration and higher resolutions. This transforms the game - you can see all the way into the distance.

As for '3-Demon', '3D Monster Maze' for the ZX81 beats it by three years.

Doom is a killer game...

Unfortunatly, after the coming of games like Duke Nukem 3D, Quake and Unreal, Doom seems a little, uhhh... old. Not to say it isn't fun! This game is hours of entertainment, it's just that after being able to jump, have more debris/ carnage, and voices in newer games, it leaves "Doom" in the dust. If you've never played this game (I.E. you've been in a coma), it's probably one of the best you'll ever come across... Doom is addictive, it's just that the standard for this type of game has been so very much improved!
