Plot synopsis:
In the year 2046, a heavily populated research facility on Mars is suddenly attacked by an unknown assailant. Following a distress call sent by Dr. Todd Carmack, a group of marines, led by Asher "Sarge" Mahonin, is sent on a search-and-rescue mission. One of the marines, John "Reaper" Grimm, accompanies his sister, Dr. Samantha Grimm, to one of the labs within the devastated sector to retrieve data; here he learns that the dig site where their parents were accidentally killed was reopened and ancient skeletons of a genetically enhanced race were discovered.
While searching for survivors in the facility, the marines find Dr. Carmack, who is taken to a medical room for examination, but later disappears. The marines find a creature that leads them down to the facility's sewer. Marine Eric "Goat" Fantom is killed during their pursuit, along with the creature. The corpses of Goat and the creature are taken to the medical room. Marine Gregory "Duke" Schofield stays with Sam as she starts an autopsy, when they are attacked by a second creature. After trapping it, Sam continues the autopsy on the first creature, finding that its organs are human. Goat suddenly revives, and then kills himself by slamming his head against a glass window.
The squad tracks a third creature down into the dig site, where it kills three more marines. Sam and Reaper try to convince Sarge that the creatures are humans from the facility, mutated by the addition of a Martian chromosome (called C24) they found and synthesized from the bones discovered, and that not all of those infected will fully transform into creatures. Regardless, Sarge orders his team to sanitize the entire facility. Sarge kills the creature in the medical lab (revealed to be a mutated Dr. Carmack) and executes one of his marines for defying his commands. Sam and the surviving marines are then flanked by the infected, partly mutated, humans. Only Sam and a wounded Reaper escape. Sam injects Reaper with the C24 serum, enhancing his abilities so he is able to kill the infected humans and fully mutated creatures. Reaper then battles an infected Sarge and kills him. Having survived, Sam and Reaper enter the elevator to leave the facility.

Review: Doom and its sequels are some of the greatest games ever created!
It has a good story, incredible action, great music, awesome enemies, very fun, really interesting levels, and more!
Below is an In-depth review of the game called Doom!The Story: The toughest marine that ever lived just arrived on the red planet Mars which is the planet that is home to the UAC (Union Aerospace Corporation).
He goes in with his bravery, very little fire power and now he finds an unspeakable evil that he must fight or he will be doomed!Game Play: This game has excellent game play.
You really play everything through a camera view which is an excellent way of shooting enemies and monsters!
In Doom you basically walk through level by level shooting and trying to escape each obstacle!The weapons that you are able to obtain are the following:1.
Fist - Being a powerful guy with much courage and able to punch holes in walls why wouldn't he want start a fight with somebody even if they are legitimately from hell?
One blast from this and it'll fry anything in its path!The monstrosities in the game are the following:Former Humans: These guys were once buddies with the great marine but since they are now the living dead they despise the living and he has no other choice but to gun them down into tiny pieces!Former Human Sergeants: They are also the living dead!
With their razor sharp claws they can rip a person's face off like it was nothin!Demons: Large pink colored gorilla shaped horned monsters with kissers like bulldogs that has a mouth full of teeth and a hunger attack for flesh!Spectre: These guys are invisible demons and seem even harder to kill!Lost Souls: Flaming screaming skulls come flying out of no where!
They hiss with anger and are extremely tough!Barons of Hell: Huge muscular minotaur like monsters that throws green plasma.
This big daddy's rocket launcher and speed is no cool surprise for the good marine so he is going to give all hes got and more if he wants to survive because this living skyscraper is nearly impossible to destroy!The Spider Mastermind: Arguably larger than the Cyberdemon, the Spider Mastermind is as tough as him with her huge metal legs and a massive chain gun that'll make puny humans into tiny rubble!Graphics: The graphics are spectacular in most of the versions!
If you like shoot em up games then I strongly recommend you play Doom today!To purchase this video game on many game formats check out Amazon.com!.
Doom is the legend, the game that started the computer gaming genre.
Doom single-handedly made the computer the most powerful gaming system on the planet.
Doom not only set the standards for graphics and fps, it set the standards for Computer Games everywhere.Although the game is old and cheesy now, upon its original arrival it was horrifying and well built.
Doom 3 will be the next game to define a generation...
First there were first-person-shooters like Wolfenstein 3D.
A game where you're not only running and gunning, you've got switches to pull and secret doors lead you to the key to get to the next level all the while dodging fireballs and demons and flying flaming skulls.
Games like Quake, Duke Nukem, Star Trek: Voyager-Elite Force and Clive Barker's Undying all owe their existence to DOOM.
Before Doom there was Wolfenstein 3D, but this game focused on an invasion by demons on a military base, placed on the moon Phobos.Every single one of your comrades got killed, and alone you had to fight yourself through an army of former humans and of course the hideous packs of demons.
DooM: The legendary game that made FPS games a mainstream genre.
Back in the early nintey's FPS games were usually just bland walk in the same halls a billion times and shoot things.
Then a small group made a game along with Apogee called "Wolfenstein 3D" it had texture mapping, and people loved it, but it still never got it's claim to fame.
Then, one year later, on December 5th 1993 "DooM" was finished by ID Software, exactly 5 days later, they released the shareware along with the final game.
DooM redefined the genre, from underground shareware games, to full blown action games.
The game has lost none of it's impact today, it's maze like corridors, horrific demons, gore and death everywhere, all of it is still an amazingly fun experience.
Doom will always be one of the best FPS games ever, the community is still strong even 11 years later!!!!.
The True Classic of FPS Games.
Doom, like my title suggests, is a true classic.
I still remember playing Doom on my computer at work with my beloved PC speaker; my boss heard, and you can guess the outcome.It is hard nowadays to get hold of, but check any old shareware CDs and you might just find it...10/10!.
The greatest video game of all time..
Most guys around my age (17 or so) played DOOM in their childhood and remember it fondly.
Although it is extremely outdated and does not run well with Windows 98, it is the video game ever made, and placed ID Software on the map.
Back in December 1993 people awaited and were unleashed what was going to be a new era in Computer games.
Doom set the standard, a simple objective based around a superb story line, kill or be killed!This game made history, and it continues to.
now, almost a decade later, and after two sequels lots of different computer platform versions, we are about to be unleashed with Doom 3, Which the producers claim is gonna scare the living day lights out of everyone.
They'll do it again!Doom Lives, and will always, thats what games that make new eras do!.
I got my first taste of "Doom"-style hyper-violence eight years ago when I was in sixth grade via some kids who loaded the game onto our teacher's PC.
Later that same year, I got "Doom" for PS1 and I still play it religiously.
It's the greatest first-person shooter I've ever played (since as I stated earlier, this game made the genre - even if it wasn't necessarily the first).
"Doom" rocked my world the first time I played it, in much the same fashion as it did millions of others.
The experience is literally wall-to-wall in its intensity, and doesn't die once."Doom" - literally all hell breaks loose, just as it did when unleashed on an unsuspecting populace 13 years ago.10/10.
Proper title for a game that had people running out to buy two thousand dollar computers, probably causing a cornering of the technology market.Yeah, Doom wasnt really the first FPS (first person shooter), but it got everything moving.
Just assume that the millions of people who have played this game are right for once and check it out.My Rating: 9.
One of the best first person shooter games ever made.
Doom was a revolution in first person shooters.
In Doom, instead of just shooting everything, you also have to hit switches and make your way to the next level.
It's fun and challenging, the graphics are cool(though a bit dated now), the music in the background is top notch, being some of the best music I've ever heard in a game, and the monsters are cool.
The levels in this game are very hellish, and frightening at times.
Some rooms are dark, some are dirty, sometimes a monster will jump out from around the corner, the sounds in the game are realistic and creepy, and sometimes the music is creepy too.As a kid, my friend and I used to play this game for countless hours.
Other games we played were Duke Nukem and Quake.
Those games are very similar to Doom.
Doom is a great game, I hope you can get the chance to play it some time..
An undisputed classic and the most jarring interpretation of Hell I have ever seen in a video game..
DOOM, id Software's successor to WOLFENSTEIN 3D, really broke new ground in the world of 3D gaming back in 1993.
Among other things, it was the first ever first-person shooter to feature multiple floors per map, different levels of lighting, varying wall heighth and width, and the ability to play with up to four friends over a dialup modem or network connection.
Of course, we all know what REALLY made it popular: the astonishing amount of violence, gore, and heart-pounding action.DOOM took the world by storm, causing millions of users worldwide to become hooked to their PC's as they blew away demon after demon for hours at a time.
I burned away hours, days, and even months of my life pumping rounds into various Hell-spawned creatures.DOOM still has its flaws, however.
The lighting is much too dark at way too many points in the game, causing you to bump blindly into walls and be attacked by monsters you can't see.
You never had problems like this with WOLFENSTEIN 3D.Even the most excellent games of all times have a few errors, though.
A beacon of excellent design philosophy with pinpoint focus and self awareness to the game play that make it still stands out in today's industry among all the other shooters.
Just carnage from the excessive gore and great environmental and monster design and style, the satisfying weapons and combat, Atmospheric and metal soundtrack, deep level design with many secrets to find and a story that knows no one is there for it so it takes a back seat so the raw game play can unleash and provide a blast of entertainment and with constant mod support years later its a game that will possibly never age or at least never stop being an icon of the genre and gaming in general..
because the original shareware is so hard to find.Unfortunately when you mention doom to someone they will immediately think of doom 3 which is a shame as no one remembers the cult classic doom.This game is and always will be the greatest game of all time so just face it 10/10.
First, if Doom were never released, video games simply would not be what they are today.
Second, if you have never played Doom before, then you are NOT a gamer!
You know what those statements mean: Doom is a revolutionary classic and one of the best games of all-time, on any console or computer.
Where Wolfenstein 3-D was limited to running through hallways and rooms that usually looked the same, Doom is a realistic environment with things like stairs, ledges, windows, variable ceiling heights and wall angles, non-repetitive wall and ceiling textures, radioactive slime, lava, floating monsters (such as cacodemons)...the list goes on!
It all made for a truly immersive experience that actually felt like real life (at the time, of course).
It sucks you in and refuses to spit you out.Of course, a technologically advanced game is nothing without solid gameplay, and Doom really delivers in the gameplay department.
Considering how fun Wolfenstein 3-D was, you already know that you'll be staying up all night playing Doom...or not getting enough sleep because you can't get Doom off your mind.
One of the main reasons why the action is so satisfying in Doom is because of the (at the time) over-the-top violence.
However, Doom is actually less gory than most first-person shooters today.
Weaponry is also more varied than in Wolfenstein 3-D: here, you'll also have a shotgun, rocket launcher, plasma rifle (shoots out beams of electricity), and the BFG-9000 (the ultimate weapon of mass destruction).Doom is just one of those games that's so incredible that it's hard to describe what makes it so great.
When you consider how revolutionary Doom was when it came out, it's just hard to imagine the fact that today's games have improved leaps and bounds beyond Doom in nearly every category!.
My personal favorite game is GTA San Andreas, but Doom is still awesome.
I wouldn't classify it as the best game ever made like some people do, but Doom is still one of the greatest video games ever..
and 3d model and new graphic like evil dead batman etc etc.in the old dos version you must have ipx to play muti player but in windows 95 you can have icp/ip to play and you can play cooperative in quake you can also play cooperative but in newer games there are almost no cooperative some of us don't have fast internet so then is super fun to play cooperative and they have improv the graphic the the newer windows 95 verison when you play mutiplayer you bare mask but in the window down there you show your face and gets smiles when you pick something up great game i have complete first and second and ultimate doom..
And no other game I'd played up to that point had the same sense of horror and fear as DOOM did, in terms of kill-or-be-killed action and run-for-your-life reflexes.
DOOM had it all, and after all these years, it still does.
I can honestly say that DOOM is one of the greatest games ever made, in more ways than one; not only did it pretty much invent the concept of the FPS (First Person Shooter, for the laymen), it opened up a new cohesive world for the gamer to explore.
DOOM held those ideals fast, and each successive sequel (even the D Enhancer with the THOUSANDS of new levels) continued the tradition with stellar results.
One of the greatest games, if not THE greatest, I've ever played.
All of these games have a common root:  the Doom Series, starting with DOOM itself.
Doom was the first good FPS (First Person Shooter) game.
With 6 weapons that the player could pick up, as well as four different ammo types, Doom was incredibly advanced for its time, although by today's standards it is low-res, poorly rendered (It uses sprites, like most older FPS games), and a pain in the ass (to get used to the controls, which are very difficult to change).
No reason not to buy this game, you should be able to buy it at Wal-Mart or Best Buy, in like a collectors edition containing Doom 2 and Final Doom as well, it was about $10.
I played this game all my life and this game is one of the best first person shooters ever, well...Er...half life is better because its a really big story.
This game is all about marines going inside a gate way to hell to make sure nothing comes out.
After that, you hear a gun battle with your allies fighting some creatures but then there all dead and all the hell demons are after you.
Doom 2 and final doom is good because they have better weapons and monsters but they have to much creatures in this game and they have confusing levels.
I will always play this game until I'm 80 years old because this is a cool game, folks!
I will give this a 10 out of 10 for good levels, weapons, sounds, designs and of course monsters!!!!.
The greatest first-person shooter game of all time!.
When I was a kid in the 90's, I remember watching other kids (and also teens & adults) playing "Ultimate Doom" on their computers.
Now, more than 7 years later, I finally had the chance to play the game (I bought the Doom collector's edition CD-ROM earlier this year, which includes the next 2 Doom games).It's an excellent first-person shooting game.
The first monsters are very weak zombie soldiers, whom were once just like you, but they were killed by the Hell demons and then became possessed by Hell's evil.
As you advance further through the levels you fight more types of monsters such as the annoying Imps, the balloon-like Cacodemons, the fiery Lost Souls, and more.The maps in the game are pretty good for its time of release.
And let's not forget the all-powerful BFG-9000; this weapon is extremely strong and can be used to clear a room full of demons (although you may need to fire more than one shot to kill all the demons in the room.To conclude, this is the best shooting game of all time!
Despite the game being about 10 years old, it is still being played by many gamers worldwide.
The most influential game of all time...
My favourite weapon has to be the Chainsaw though.I like the classic shooter and this falls under the character and sometimes it feels like a survival horror even by todays standards, I wasn't scared in it just felt like it was a survival Horror because sometimes the "DOOM guy" as many fans call him is trapped in some dark room with many of those monsters trying to kill him...
This sounds like fun the biggest challenge you are likely to face in the game is killing those demon/devil-looking monsters on the last level (unless I missed something) they were so hard to beat I kept on dying when I went through every other level without dying.This casts my vote as best first-person-shooter game I've completed...
somewhere in mid-1995 I got a CD with lots of shareware games ...
including DooM.The game had things that no other game had: while 3D FPS were already there, most of 'em were like the corny Area51 that were basically "your character moves, shoot, reload and pray they don't hit you".
First thing I found out with this game was that some lights flickered, some other lights turned off, like level 1-3 or some other nice traps.
I mean "I'm scared like hell" kind of Dark.
(Cultural Note: Phobos means "fear").Even though it may look like cheesy by today's standards, this game set standards back in its time, mocked by Duke Nukem, and well set the bar until Quake for graphics, and Half-Life for game-play.
