DOOM

An example of what a BFG looks like (with Falco holding it).

Doom guy in marine suit.

DOOM is a great FPS that (unfortunately) spawned a whole genre of shite. It was released in 1993. It is one of the first FPS games (The first released one is Wolfenstein 3-D, though several experimental ones existed as far as the '70s). It got two sequels, excluding Doom 64. In other things, they had a movie, comic, and action figures.

The story, although barely there, is pretty much "Demons show up. Kill them dead. Find the master. Kill him dead." The real story is (for Doom 1: Knee-deep in the dead) about an army Marine gets up one day to see everyone in his camp is dead. After killing all of the demons in the base, he thought it was all over, but it wasn't. (Shores of hell) He dug deeper into Hell's hideout until he fought a gigantic rocket-launching goat (Cyberdemon). Even after that hellish battle (no pun), it still wasn't over. The Spider Mastermind was behind all of this, so he went into the heart of hell to find this leader. (Inferno) Killing demons all the way to the Spider Mastermind. At the hideout, The Spider awaited him. Doom Guy, of course, killed it/him/her. Doom Guy waited. The demons still came. That means there are still roaming everywhere. One more trip to save humanity. (Thy flesh consumed) Blah, blah, demons, blah, cacodemon, blah. Down to the final place we go. And the final boss is... The Spider Mastermind. The demons revived it, creating more of a problem for the Doom Guy. FINALLY after killing it, Doom Guy was very happy. However, he didn't realize the demons where roaming Earth. Next stop: Hell on Earth!

(Doom 2) It's good to be back on Earth! Too bad demons are still roaming everywhere. And the new demons only add more problems. After killing a bunch, Doom guy awaited death to take him. until there was a signal from "The Master". Doom Guy still had a chance to stop them! The signal was coming from his home city. Now, [insert paragrapgh about killing demons]. Some where in the game, you can find the two secret levels (Wolfentein 3D levels). Also you get to see who is stronger: Cyberdemon or Spiderdemon. He went down to the boss's lair to see to Icon of Sin. After pumping its brain with rockets, Doom Guy starts his journey back home. He wonders where bad people will go now that he has destroyed hell.

Doom Guy doesn't use a rabbit's foot for luck. He uses a Rabbit's head (specifically his pet rabbit's).

Not to be confused with Dr. Doom.

(N64) Same thing, but after defeating the mother, he stays in hell to make sure no demons ever rises again.

Trivia

• A lot of the tracks on the first two DooM games were supposedly stolen from other bands, most notably DooM's E1M1, which according to many is either a ripoff of Metallica's Master of Puppets, No Remorse, or Judas Priest's Painkiller. Or maybe it's a mix of all three.
• Created by id software.
• The reason Doom Guy had no name was because id wanted Doom Guy to be the player.
• Doom Guy had a pet rabbit named Daisy. She keeps him sane (probably).
• Doom has an easter egg that includes Wolfentein levels. The easter egg was banned from Germany. According to the German Strafgesetzbuch §86a, the usage of unconstitutional symbols is forbidden. Because the two secret maps Wolfenstein and Grosse use swastikas, the German version does not contain these maps to prevent the game from being the subject of search and seizure procedures (as Wolfenstein 3-D had been). This means that it is forbidden to sell, hire or otherwise give the game to anybody, although merely owning the game is legal.

Monsters

(Doom 1)

• Zombieman - just a nooby enemy with a gun. There's no way you can lose to this thing.
• Shotgun guy - A zombieguy with a shotgun. It's stronger than a zombieman.
• Imp - A humanoid lizard thing that throws fireballs by spitting in its hand... and throwing it. It also scratches you.
• Demon - A pink pig thing that bites you.
• Spectre - A slightly invisible pink pig thing that bites you.
• Baron of hell - A pink goat that throws green fire balls at you and rips at you.
• Cacodemon - It has a huge mouth. It launches lightning balls at you. If one of these things bite you, you are screwed.

A cacodemon: One of the monsters in Doom.

A mancubus: A fat monster in Doom.

• Lost soul - A skull that charges at you fast when it sees you.
• Cyberdemon - A rocket launching goat demon. 'Nuff said. It does not take splash damage (damage that spreads out from a rocket or BFG explosion). Only direct hits.
• Spiderdemon (or Spider Mastermind) - A Brain with tiny arms, a mouth and eyes in a spider machine. Its chain gun will wipe you out in seconds. It too does not take splash damage. If it helps, it only takes 28 direct rocket hits to kill it.

(New monsters in Doom 2)

• Heavy weapons dude (actual name)- A chaingun zombie guy.
• Hell knight - A baron of hell with less health. Also the color is brown.
• Revenant - A skeleton with two different rocket shuolders: normal and homing. Its punches are strong.
• Mancubus - An extremely fat guy (to the point that his fat melts) with a flame thrower.
• Arachnotron - A small Spiderdemon. It has a plasma gun.
• Pain elemental - A brown cacodemon with arms that spawns lost souls.
• Arch vile - You can't think of anything to describe how much these things are a dick. They summon an undodgable flame on you, only dodgable if you stay out of its sight or make it feel pain in the middle of its spell.
• Wolfentein SS - A blonde haired Nazi. Only appears in the two secret levels. However, they (both monster and level) are not allowed in the German version, for WW2 stuff is banned from games there.
• Commander Keen - A little kid from the game series from Commander Keen (ID software). A secret monster. He does nothing, since he is hung on a rope.
• The final boss - The icon of sin. It spawns monsters. Pump its brain with rockets before the monsters kill you! Easter egg - If you use the idclip cheat on the level and go inside of it, you see Romero's head on a stick!

(N64)

• The final boss - The mother of demons. It gave birth to all of the demons. But demons are born inside of evil people, so she was proven not. Doom guy killed her anyways. She summons flames in a diagonal path.

Weapons

(All three Dooms)

• Fist - only use as your last resort or if you get the beserk health pack.
• Chainsaw - rips your enemies apart. Very useful against enemies with a high pain chance.
• Pistol - Pistol.
• Shotgun - A lot better then the pistol. It can kill the first three monsters on the list in one hit (you need to be up close to the enemy, though)!
• Super shotgun (Doom 2 only) - Awesome. It can kill the first five monsters on the list in one hit. For other monsters, only two!
• Chaingun - A rapid fire gun.
• Rocket launcher - A rocket launcher. Don't stand too close when shooting.
• Plasma gun - A very fast plasma shooting gun. Though it is weak, it is very useful.
• BFG 9000 (yes, it has 9000 in it) - This gun will fuck your bitchass up! Its wide spread explosion can kill everything in a few hits.
• Unmaker (N64 only) - A (very) powerful laser gun. It is more powerful if you have all of the skeleton keys.
• Soul cube (Doom 3 only) - steals health from enemies.

The Icon of Sin

John Romero's head on a stick: an easter egg In Doom 2.

This guy (main character) has no name, so people just call him 'The Marine' or 'Doom guy'.

Doom guy hasn't slept in a while. He can't anyways since there are still demons roaming everywhere.

A very rare face in Doom. Caused by shooting the ground below yourself with a rocket launcher, and immediatly picking up a soul orb.

The BFG. BFG stands for Big Fucking/Fragging Gun. Due to its look, that weapon Falco is holding can only be a rocket launcher.
