Trivia
The programmers added a picture of John Romero's head on a stage at the last level. John noticed that and added a sample to the last level of him saying: "To win this game you must beat me, John Romero". The sample was pitch-shifted and reversed.

Goofs
The two enemy guards in the first room have their backs turned to you and remain oblivious to your presence until you attack. If you silently punch the air from the platform behind them, they become alerted to you. However, if you had instead picked up the chainsaw on the left and held it behind their backs, even though the chainsaw makes noise in its idle position, the guards will remain unaware. This inconsistency occurs because idle weapons are typically silent, while attacking weapons make a sound, except for the fist and chainsaw.

Alternate versions
The console versions of Doom II omit levels 31 and 32 and alter some level maps due to size of media and hardware limits.

Connections
Edited from Wolfenstein 3D (1992)

More of the same really, but now perfected.

Take the excellent base game of the original DOOM and add more weapons, new levels, new soundtrack, enemies and basically everything a good sequel needs to create an arguably perfect shooter with everything being balanced and improved upon to make a even more fast paced and better experience. Often seen as "Just more of the original", my personal favorite of the two, it shouldn't just be ignored whichever one is your favorite of the two however, they are both equally worth playing for fantastic games with once again incredible mod support and you have a duo-logy of games that have became a staple of video game culture for very good reasons.
