It just screams with testosterone with its full lungs. The game is pure awesome, adrenaline and action. You are armed from head to toe with just about anything, chainsaw included. It's gameplay is as awesome as it is simple - you just have to find the exit of the level, while surviving every enemy and trap that is sent or put to kill you. After its initial release, the game became world known for its unique engine, that eventually gave birth to Heretic and Hexen.

Besides the extra episode, the game brings nothing new. The Ultimate Doom is an enhanced version to the original Doom game, with an extra 9 level episode called Thy Flesh Consumed. They practically don't go one without each other. Doom, Duke Nukem and Wolfenstein practically made the nineties. The most epic game of the ninetiesĪh, Doom. If all you know of FPS games is Call of Duty or Battlefield, then you owe it to yourself to dig this one out and find out how it all began. It is also highly atmospheric, with some chilling sound effects that create a genuinely unsettling mood, and which is supported by the graphically impressive and well designed levels. Even today, Doom stands up remarkably well, with simple but immensely satisfying gunplay, responsive controls and a near perfect mix of action and exploration. Ultimate Doom expands on the original's three episodes by adding in a fourth which acts as a bridge between Doom and its sequel. There are of course numerous weapons to help you out, including chainsaws, chainguns, plasma rifles and the notorious BFG.

Players find themselves battling through space stations, blasting wave after wave of demonic creatures unleashed from Hell, with no other goal than to send them back where they came from. With its science fiction/horror theme, bloody combat and some wonderfully over-the-top weapons, Doom set the template for much that followed and is often cited as one of the most influential video games ever.

Goldeneye, Call of Duty, Battlefield and all the other first person shooters out there owe their existence to Doom, the hardcore blaster that started a genre.
