Trivia
The chainsaw and shotgun weapons in the game were inspired by the The Evil Dead (1981) series of movies.

Goofs
In the game, enemies can hear fired shots, which attracts their attention. But there's a bug in the game so that enemies can hear any attack, including your character's (silent) punches. Also, the enemies cannot hear the idling chainsaw, but once you attack with it they will be alerted.

Crazy credits
After the end credits on the Sega 32X version, the game reverts to a fake DOS prompt from which the player cannot exit without shutting off the game.

Alternate versions
Shortly before the release of Doom 2, a version was released as "Ultimate Doom" with a fourth episode that led in to Doom 2

Connections
Edited into Naqoyqatsi (2002)

The greatest video game of all time.

Most guys around my age (17 or so) played DOOM in their childhood and remember it fondly. Although it is extremely outdated and does not run well with Windows 98, it is the video game ever made, and placed ID Software on the map. It's not for the faint of heart---the gory graphics are sick even by today's standards. If blasting demons into tiny pieces and seeing people impaled on sticks or hanging by meathooks isn't your cup of tea, then avoid DOOM. But for anyone else, this is the game for you. WARNING: EXTREMELY ADDICTIVE!!!!
