Doom. 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. Apparently, someone over at ID software got it into his or her twisted head that running around armed to the teeth with enough weapons to blow away Los Angeles and tearing down all sorts of enemies far beyond normal human imagination can be... fun. Those Arnold Schwarzenegger movies actually taught us something.
The only downside to doom would be a lack of story line. Nothing else driving you through the game but continued slaughter here. Kind of a shame that most FPS's would stay like this until 1998.
But thats another matter entirely. Doom is still an amusing game, even with the games currently on the market. But why am I telling you this? not having heard of Doom is like not having heard of Star Wars. Just assume that the millions of people who have played this game are right for once and check it out.
My Rating: 9
