Welcome!
DOOM is a lightning-fast 3D action game. In the game, you play the part of a valiant space marine fighting back the hordes of demonic invasion. Everything in the game is from your own point of view, so you experience first-hand the terror of running around a corner into a pack of hellspawn, as well as the satisfaction of pulping them with a few quick bursts from your plasma rifle. The sound effects and music add to the ambience established by the realistic 3D spaces in which you struggle.
In addition to fighting the legions of hell, you can battle other human beings in the nightmarish halls of DOOM. This manner of play is called deathmatch, and it is very popular. You can fight against one other person via a serial connection, such as a modem link, or against up to three other people over a network or through server systems on the Internet.
DOOM is actually a series of products

Doom Add-Ons
One of the coolest aspects of DOOM and related games is that their underlying data formats and technology are mostly open and available. This means that ordinary people can craft their own levels and extensions for the game, and freely distribute them. The implication is that in addition to the 30+ levels in each DOOM game released by iD, you have hundreds and hundreds of DOOM levels to play. New levels and other extensions can be downloaded from the Internet and on-line services, as well as purchased in bulk on CD-ROM. This open technology policy has helped make DOOM the most popular computer game in history.
Unfortunately, not all add-on DOOM levels are similar in quality to the original articles! As a level author and reviewer, I would like to share my personal favorites with you; these are levels that I'm sure any DOOM player will enjoy.
