Doom video game



Doom (typeset as DOOM in official documents and stylized as DooM in other media)[1] is a 1993 first-person shooter (FPS) video game by id Software for MS-DOS. It is considered one of the most significant and influential titles in video game history, for having helped to pioneer, along with the 1992 Wolfenstein 3D, the now-ubiquitous FPS gameplay type, and has been frequently cited as one of the greatest video games of all time. The original game was divided into three nine-level episodes and was distributed via shareware and mail order. The Ultimate Doom, an updated version featuring a fourth episode, was released in 1995 and sold at retail.

In Doom, players assume the role of an unnamed space marine, who became popularly known as "Doomguy",[2] fighting his way through hordes of invading demons from Hell.[3] With an entire one-third of the game (nine levels) distributed as shareware, Doom was played by an estimated 15–20 million people[4] within two years of its release, popularizing both the business model of online distribution[5] and the FPS mode of gameplay, and spawning a gaming subculture. In addition to popularizing the FPS genre, it pioneered immersive 3D graphics, networked multiplayer gaming, and support for customized additions and modifications via packaged files in a data archive known as "WADs". As a sign of its effect on the industry, FPS games from the genre's boom in the 1990s, helped in no small part by the game's release, became known simply as "Doom clones". Its graphic violence, as well as Hellish imagery, made it the subject of considerable controversy.

The Doom franchise was later continued with the follow-up Doom II: Hell on Earth (1994) and numerous expansion packs, including Master Levels for Doom II (1995) and Final Doom (1996). Originally released for MS-DOS, those games have been ported to numerous other platforms. Once the game's source code was released in 1997, it spawned even more adaptations, as fans further ported the code to countless devices, even to machines that were not designed to run games. The series started to lose mainstream appeal as the technology of the Doom game engine was surpassed in the mid-1990s, although fans have continued making WADs, speedruns, and modifications to the original. The franchise again received popular attention, over ten years after its foundation, in 2004, with the release of Doom 3, a retelling of the original game using the id Tech 4 engine, with an associated 2005 Doom motion picture. A reboot of the series, also simply titled Doom but this time powered by id Tech 6, was released in 2016, and focused on returning to the fast-paced action of the first two games.
