The first real Doom in a cartridge.

The Good
It was a real Doom in a cartridge for a console. Unlike the slower SNES version this played like the real version. All you needed was a Genesis and 32x and not a $1500.00 computer.

The Bad
There is no save. By the time I got this for my 32x I had already finished the computer versions of both Doom I and II so there was no real surprises. There isn't much not to like about a game you can get for a few dollars.

The Bottom Line
Doom was the first ground breaking 1st person shooter that followed the huge success of Wolfenstein. The 32x version was the closest you could get to the computer version and in some ways was graphically better.

Doomed...

The Good
Doom (1994) is a very good adaption of the uber violent, first person perspective science fiction, survival horror computer game released in 1993. It is probably the first and only cartridge based adaption of the popular franchise. The graphics and music are above average and it is a fun, even scary, game to play. The game's map really helps out as does using a six button controller.

The Bad
Development of Doom 32X was rushed in an effort to release the game alongside the ill fated, if not equally rushed, Sega 32X add-on device. The game has fewer levels then the PC version, the action takes placed in a smaller viewing window and if you cannot beat the game with any of the cheat codes.

The Bottom Line
Doom (1994) is a decent adaption of the computer game that suffers from the hardware limitations of the Sega 32X and a desire to release the game alongside the ill-fated system.

Ahhh...DOOM...

The Good
The fact that it is DOOM. It also has levels from Doom 2!! Isn't that cool?!?!

The Bad
The border around the screen which makes your viewing window much smaller. The game also runs a tad bit slower than in other versions.

The Bottom Line
It's DOOM, it's classic. Compared to the 1st person shooters of today, it doesn't stand a chance, but if you're looking for a bit of nostalgia, pick it up.
