Summary

Doom is a Legend!

The Good

The time I saw it, I couldn't beleive what a 386 could do! Then also the gameplay proved to be magnificent, lot of action and enemies, and it was maybe the first time for me to control a hero in such a 3d way, it was a great feeling!!!

I like very much DOOM-Clones, although DOOM is the best one, it is very original (You will tell me that Wolfenstein was the first one! :) The coolest thing is that even today many people prefer to play doom, and something exists which seems like a Doom-scene! There are plenty of editors to build new wads, change the graphics, sound, e.t.c., and some people have made very cool TCs (Total conversions) with these utils! Or the source code modifications which make DOOM to use 3d cards, or the hero to be able to look up and down, and many other cool stuff...

Doom lives even today!

The Bad

It doesn't run on my CPC! :) Well, I am just kidding! Actually, I can't think something negative about it!

The Bottom Line

Doom is the game who started it all with the doomclones!
