you know its funny Clint, I had the exact same experience seeing doom for the first time at a party of a family friend, watching with awe as the teenage kid of the house played while me and another cousin watched until my dad came along and ushered me out of the room because of the violence. good times :3

I grew up in a Catholic hosuehold, and my Dad thought Doom was the best Christian video game ever made. He always thought "What's more Christian then going to hell and blowing up Satan's minions with a rocket launcher?" :D Watching him blast through Doom 2 on Ultra Violent kept me entertained and on the edge of my seat for hours. :)

*American* video game industry. Nintendo saw an opportunity and picked it up. It's not unlikely somebody else would've picked up the bill back then if Nintendo hadn't. Also, people need to stop mystifying games having somehow "Single handedly" done something. Super Mario Bros. didn't do anything alone, the entire way the NES was handled in the US during its first years was what helped the American industry at the, and SMB was just one of the pieces on the board. One of the more important pieces, mind you, but nothing that happened back then can solely be credited to it. The same way the blame on the '83 American crash can't be solely pitted on E.T.. It's actually outrageous to believe only one game would've done that, and it's something that's been spread around way too much over the decades.

Here in Germany Doom I+II were put on the black list pretty soon after they had been released and shops were not allowed to advertise them or sell them to minors. As long as you were under eighteen you had to know somebody who knew someone to get a a copy of Doom. :-) Being only sixteen at the time, I bought both parts of Doom on a single CD-Rom while on holiday in London, England back in 1995, which made me the coolest kid in the class. :-D

I remember the first time I saw Doom - 1994, my mom brought the shareware version from somewhere. We all gathered around the monitor and stared mesmerised at it - it was as if a window had just opened into another reality. Never before had we even imagined our humble 40 MHz computer (with 8 MB RAM) could bring something that realistic to life. It defied all logic and sanity. It felt ALIVE. IT WAS ALIVE! Twenty-two years later Doom still is my all-time favorite game. And I have yet to get tired of it :) P.S. I was only 9 years old in 1994, yet my parents never restricted me from playing Doom... for which I am grateful.

Great read, it illustrates very well how working in game development can be both amazing and excruciatingly terrible. Often at the same time. As for Doom... it's still such an amazing game. I got the shareware version pretty early on, somewhere in 1994, on one of those compilation discs that the stores were full of back then. I had to wait until our PC got more RAM to be able to play it, but man was it worth the wait. Fortunately my mom didn't pay much attention to what I was playing on the computer, so even though I was only 10 at the time I had very little trouble playing gory and violent games.

I have a very similar history with Doom. I was born in 1997 and when I was 8, I watched a report on violent video games. My parents showed it to me because they knew I liked playing games alot and didn't want me to be uneducated about these "Murder Simulators". I didn't care at all and just wanted to play mario and Sonic at the time, so I assured them that I wouldn't play any of those games, especially since all the games they showed looked dull, gray and just boring. But at the end they showed some older games, trying to get accross, that these types of games are getting more and more realitstic. I remember seeing E1M1 and hearing the soundtrack and monster noises, which really captured my imagination for the next weeks until I sneeked onto my dads pc (without any knowlege of the internet) and started looking up "old shooter game" on yahoo. After some searching I found one of Dooms textures, the one out of marble with a demon face in the middle. I hadn't even seen that texture in the report, but I knew that this was it. Too scared and too unexperienced, I din't look for a download, especially since I din't even know what a download was. Once I got my own PC when I was 10, I downloaded and played the game. Fun for ages! Also got into mapping and modding for Doom and now I'm going to attend a Game Design University next year. So, cool video dude, really took me back. Also hope you enjoy the new Doom, I think it's amazing personally :D

When you just wanna play non violent cartoon games but your parents tell you not to play violent games and you end up playing them

In 1994, two mates of mine lived next door to each other in our university hall of residence (3rd floor). Having both acquired 486 PCs, they wanted to run a serial cable for death match play in Doom. The only way to get the cable between rooms without drilling a hole in the cinderblock wall was out the window. So for the rest of the year from the courtyard you could see what was soon dubbed the "umbilical cord" hanging between their windows. They were soon dubbed the "umbilical brothers". Good times.

I just wanted to say something regarding your comment in the video - "happy little side-effect of the engine where everything is dark in the distance". This is not just a side-effect of the engine, this is a deliberate innovation by John Carmack. He created code that meant that as you moved further away from something the engine would change the colours to an increasingly darker hue from a preset colour pallet. Brilliant work as always and just one of many innovations (the dynamic lighting being another) in Doom by the guy that moved PC gaming forward so much! Also - Carmack made his engine deliberately moddable!

Wow! Man, you nailed it. One of the best commentaries I've ever heard on Doom game play. Everytime I play the original Doom, the sound track and the sheer excitement, makes my heart go faster and faster.

This is the very first video game I remember playing. What a hell of a game to start with (or at least I assume so, it's probably not THE first video game I played).

Summer, 1994.. or was it 95'? Eh, memories fade but what doesn't fade is the images and sounds burned into my childhood. I was at my uncle's house when we made an out of town trip. He was one of the few adults I knew that cared and owned computer stuff. I was already into my Tandy 3000 and the AppleII but now I had a taste of THE FUTURE. He sat me down and let me have a go at some of the games he had. The two I was most fascinated by were DOOM and Cyberia. The later of which would be basically lost for time but in that moment those two games just amazed me and made me fantasize of what magic could come next? I also never thought "it couldn't get better" than synthesized MIDI . ... technology is awesome and awe inspiring eh?

I avoided the game at first because I was brought up in a somewhat southern baptist household, and assumed anything with demons was evil and to be avoided. Finally played it in '95 on the super nintendo and fell head-over-heels in love with it. Been my favorite game of all time ever since. I'm still modding for it and everything.

I think SECRET AREAS are what I miss the most from these classic shooters. Modern shooters just seem so shallow and linear these days.

+The Adequate Gamer from what I've heard new DOOM have crapton of well hidden secrets.

By far the most honestly passionate and in-depth game review I have seen in my life. Nice.

Awesome video LGR! Thank you for giving Doom the review it deserves. Doom was the game that got me into multiplayer online back in the 90's. I spent so many evenings connected to the local BBS deathmatching, and so many weekends doing lan parties with my friends to play it. It really sparked my love of PC gaming and interest in online games ever since.

I have pretty much the same story from my childhood: when i was 3 years old i had a Sega Master system, and used to play Rastan, Alex kidd and another couple of games, but i wasn't really hooked on them Then, one day, my dad came home with HEXEN (which, if you don't know, is practically Doom in a REALLY dark fantasy/demoniac setting with A TON more violence and a couple more "puzzle" elements other than simple keys) and, since my dad has allways been kinda of a youngster and chill man, he did something that most parents would have never allowed their 4 years old kid to do...he let me play it through the whole game; of course i didn't manage to beat it until i was something like 7 years old but still..i've been playin Hexen since i was practically an infant! still to this day i remember the first time i spawned as a cleric in the first map, looking back and seeing a key in dark cave that i couldn't access yet...my god... still to this day i love Hexen; thanx to it i became really interested in videogames; thanx to it i was not simply playin them, i was researchin them, lookin for interesting ones ecc..it is what made me fell in love with videogames It also shaped my tastes: still to this day i am OBSESSED with medieval history, dark fantasy settings and challengin gory combat (no wonder the Dark Souls/Demon's souls/Bloodborne games are my favourite)

Loved Hexen. I was around 10-11 when playing it. Loved the darkness, the monsters, the atmosphere and the puzzles and level design, the music and sounds and everything. It just went straight into your head and merged with your imagination as a kid. You don't get that feeling anymore, when you have cleared out a room or a part of a level from monster and you actually feeling to stay there because it felt safe, while you could here the daemons in the distance somewhere behind some walls. "Oh fuck that, I'm not going there. I'm staying here, perhaps I can grow some potatoes and mushrooms to live on."

Bark That's why i'm mostly into retro games the only games that, recently, made me feel what you're talkin about, are the games of the "souls serie" (Demon's souls; Dark souls 1-2-3; Bloodborne) and an handful of other titles like Pillars of eternity

Clint you goober! Awesome work.

You're writing is impeccable. Every video of yours has that right tone and pace. This one though, hit the spot. As a longtime Doom fan, this video made me reminisce on those incredible times I had (and still have) with this game. Kudos to you good sir and keep on doing what you do. You have a fan in me

When I played Doom it had been out for a couple of years and I had been completely enthralled by images of it. Yet there was something special when you'd install and run Doom for the first time. It was just such a big jump in gaming evolution that I think very few games can actually compare in that sense. It was seen from a first person perspective, it was incredibly immersive and hypnotising. For the first time you could actually truly be inside of a video game. The sounds and the textures are so well done that everything feels tangible, like you could actually touch it. The game was not just "developed" but actually "designed". Meaning the focus was on how it would feel, on the experience, rather then just making cool features glued together like most developers think games are made of. Thanks for bringing back some cool memories!! Keep up the good work (and videos!)

I remember when I got my first Shareware version of DOOM, it came in this small paperboard sleeve (about the size of a CD sleeve they sell now) with DOOM across the front and just a mess of greeble texturing under it. I spent an hour and a half on a ride home before just constantly looking it over and over, reading and rereading the back and just staring at the front, trying to see if there were any images in the greeble textures on the front. That was a frickin' long ride :P

It would be pretty neat if you made a similar video for Quake!

What an interesting way of talking, information depth, storytelling. Great photos and video effects, personal family stories and especially way to show newbies the enthusiasm you experienced. This is the best summary of how doom really is.

The love you have for this game comes across so well in this Retrospective

Happy 25th to Doom

I agree with you about Doom (2016) . In fact, as time goes on I realize the less I need or even want 'the next thing'. Doom is amazing to this day, and if you want a 'modern' Doom then Brutal Doom fulfills that remarkably. New games will come along that are awesome, and as someone who loves them at a technical level (board, card, video, mind, take your pick) I'll always be interested in what's going on. But when it comes time to sit down and pick something to play. Sorry to say, the reason some of these games are Classics is not just because they were good for their time, but that they continue to be good for arguably all time.

I'm actually surprised Doom (2016) is good.

What a wonderful piece here! Great writing, and what a wonderful nostalgic trip down memory lane!

I always drooled when I would see screenshots of doom back in the day because I did not own a PC... I didn't play doom until it was released on the original playstation and I loved it. I saw half life and unreal reviewed in computer and video games magazine later on and there was no way I was missing out again so I upgraded to PC gaming and never looked back :)

I want that boxed copy! I've never seen one direct from ID before.

This is a really fun and partly personal review with a lot of background information. I'm a big fan of your reviews keep up the good work :)

Been wanting to see a review about Doom from you forever. You always talked about how amazing it is, I was surprised you didnt have a review sooner.

So, basically, Doom was for your childhood what Total Annihilation was for mine?

LOL @ Clint's Doom intro story. When I was a kid I stayed at my Aunt and Uncle's house for a family vacation, with my parents and younger brothers staying at a nearby Grandma's house leaving me by myself. My cool uncle showed by Wolfenstein 3D, and I played so much of it during that trip instead of sleeping that I made myself sick from sleep deprivation over those 4-5 days. I couldn't stop, though, I was so blown away by what a computer could do.

i can't stop laughing when you sensually touch the DOOM II box. That's love.

DOOM was a weird experience for me.. Amiga users said we didn't need DOOM and made out the crappy imitations we had were just as good. But then the source code for DOOM was released, ports appeared and sellers had boxed copies of DOOM and DOOM II with a floppy with the Amiga port on it and we lapped it up. After that everyone changed their tune and wanted more PC games like Quake etc. I think one of the most exciting computer experiences I ever had was seeing the demo in Quake running super smooth on my Amiga via an illegal port (there was a legal m68k port and a PPC port based on leaked code).

+donpalmera came here to talk about doom on the Amiga as well :) I remember playing multiplayer on a 33k modem on my Amiga 1200. It worked really well :) I love now how doom has been ported to just about every electronic device with a screen :D

Your introduction to DOOM was almost exactly like my own. Thanks for the walk down memory lane and another awesome review.

This is so spot-on. I first got Doom for the PSX and my cousin and I were blown away, playing it non-stop for days. We even set 2 TV sets up side-by-side and played PVP..

What a classic this is... I remember when I still had a MMX200 with Win98SE in use. Sure around this time Doom was a bit dated but a back then friend of mine gave me a copy of Doom1, Doom2 and Final Doom on one disc. Played the shit out of it, especially since my computer (that still exists) has no 3D acceleration to play to much else. Right now I'm planning to do a retro LAN with friends that also all seem to love that old stuff. Doom is definitely on our list, just because it's so great and balanced in death match. Thanks for the review, great stuff as always!

Wow... Thanks for sharing this with us. It's surprising to hear that you didn't get to play Doom after Quake. I was 13 back in 1993 and my step dad just upgraded our PC from 386 to 486. We were on the way to pick up 4MB RAM stick and that's where I saw Doom at the store. I vividly remember holding that box with embossed lettering. My step dad looked at the system requirements and he decided to buy it to test out our new PC. We didn't have sound card installed yet but but the visuals alone changed the perception of gaming for me. It was totally unlike what my Sega did and I was hooked. It was couple months later when i saw Doom demo at compUSA with beastly 66mhz 19inch SVGA with sound blaster. Again, it freaking blew me away just with the sound. I must of been the few kids in the world that asked for sound blaster for Xmas that year lol

25 years later two years ago 🤔 clint confirmed time traveller

Yeah, in 1995 I was 10 and my brother had the shareware version on his computer along with a ton of other games from the era (lots of crazy FMV games that at the time looked amazing, but in hindsight were pretty horrible). He'd let me come over to his house and play for hours at a time (he's like 20 years older than me). I thought the game was so scary I had to play it with the sound turned way down. Never the less it was one of the most compelling gaming experiences I'd had yet. I remember getting through the whole segment that the shareware would allow before the game told me to go buy it to continue. So I did... on the SNES.

Damn I remember back when FMV was the shit. When I first did a FMV kill in Eternal Champions CD I thought it was the best shit ever. Now I think it's just shit compared to the graphical juggernauts we have now. I'm playing DOOM 2016 thinking.... "Oh My God how far we've come." Also now I feel old as fuck...

I was in my 30s when DOOM came out. I was working a Ford in Dearborn and we had a big problem in our office. Our network was bought to its knees because so many people were playing DOOM on company time on the company’s IPX network. I couldn’t play at work because I spent my day on a UNIX computer. I played at home on my Cyrix 486SLC-40 computer. I also played Strife and Duke Nukem 3D on that old 486. By the way, I still have that old 486 and I still play games on it from time to time. I’m in my 60s now.

DOOM is definitely one of my favorite games of all time! Thanks LGR for all of your hard work and time you put into your videos!!

If anybody wants a fantastic overview of Doom in general, check out Ahoy's retrospective, it's long, in depth and awesome. I still remember staying over at a friend's house when I was like 6 or 7 and after a day of doing something fun, my friend's dad would always tease us by asking us if we wanted to rent a couple of movies oooor.... (long pause) play Doom. The answer was always the same. Little bits of it always stuck out in my mind for years afterwards until I got my own copy, one in particular being the pinky demon in the maze on E1M4. Still awesome, still creepy.

I had a similar first exposure to Doom story as you did LGR. I grew up on a farm in Minnesota and back in the day computers were too expensive for our family. Plus you didn't need them nearly as much as today. We did however have a SNES. My brother came home one night from the rental store with this scary red cartridge. I was amazed just by seeing a red cartridge. He then played it as I watched. I eventually got to play it before he returned it, but I always died super early. Years later my brothers moved out and my mom bought me the PS1. I then found a used copy for Doom on PS1 and played it constantly. Finally, I hit high school and it was time that I finally got a PC. It wasn't special, but was great for surfing the Internet and writing papers for class. It wasn't long until I bought a copy of Ultimate Doom with Doom 2 and master levels. I remember finally playing Doom on PC and being initially let down because I was so used to the sounds and music from the Playstation version. To this day I still go back just to play the music, but with a lack of a save feature really makes it tough to sit down for long play sessions.

Man, this game... When the only game magazine published an review of Doom, I was hooked. Soon after I got my hands on the 1.1 shareware with only PC speaker sound to accompany me. Later we somehow got the full 1.2 version (an illegal copy with a cool intro by a group from Italy) and I spent too much time on it. My dad took me, my friends and my brother to his work on weekends where we played the game on the local LAN together (where the slowest PC determined the game speed). That was the time when CRT monitors needed those external filters, but we still all got headaches. Worth it!

I think my testosterone levels were boosted by 274% from watching this video. Before, I couldn't grow a beard. Now, it's 12 feet long and indestructible.

Used to play that on the N64.

Best game ever - Played it in Feb‘94 the first time at the age of about 16 years. Never got so impressed by a game!

One of my favorites thing in the original doom was how weapons and enemy deaths blend into the soundtrack like they're additional instruments. And the score counter at each level end, the pistol fire sound adds to the guitar. That's what I picture when someone talks to me about combat flow.
