Classic Game Room presents CGR's ON THIS DAY IN GAMING! On December 10, 1993, id Software released DOOM, the first-person shooter that would popularize the genre, building upon the foundations laid down by Wolfenstein 3D. The game's shareware release and online outfit allowed the game to become commercially and critically successful, but it was DOOM's technical advancements -- the use of lighting and shadows, the ability to move between height levels via elevators and stairs -- that remain as the game's undying legacy. Most importantly, DOOM is an easy symbol of a major shift in the industry, not just towards deeper and darker games, but a transition from the dominance of the platformer to the FPS.
