Description

The third game of the DOOM series which takes gamers through the depths of Hell where technology and demons meet.

You start as a marine soldier sent to Mars where a corporation named The Union Aerospace Corporation makes secret experiments. People around the base are on the edge, something is not right. You receive your first simple mission and when you go off, the Hell unleashes.

This third major release of Doom series is especially based on single player experience. As in most First Person Shooter Games, you aim, you shoot, you run...

Trivia

While most new FPS games have outrageous minimum system requirements, especially for video cards (at least 128MB, Texture&Lightning required), the Doom III engine is, despite the hefty overall requirements, quite scalable.

Some users have developed a small patch that makes the game compatible with the Voodoo 2 card, among others in the Voodoo line. These are some of the very first 3D cards and they often do not carry more than 12MB. The game does not look better than Quake 2 with such setup, but it still is a fine piece of programming.
