Doomguy: Difference between revisions

Since its release in 1993, DOOM has gone down in history as being one of the most notable and influential FPS titles of all time.

DOOM and its sequel have inspired many "DOOM clones," such as Rise of the Triad, Marathon, Star Wars: Dark Forces, Duke Nukem 3D, and Shadow Warrior.

 

The series follows an unnamed marine, most commonly known by the community as Doomguy. After assaulting his commanding officer for refusing to fire upon innocent civilians, Doomguy was dishonorably discharged and then later transferred to the human-made base on Phobos. Unbeknownst to him, the shady conglomerate known as the UAC had been conducting experiments on teleportation, which led to them opening a portal directly to hell. By the time Doomguy reached Photos, the forces of hell had overrun the entire moon. With nothing but a pistol in his hand and pure rage, he would fight back against the seemingly endless hoard of demons. He would go on to save Earth itself and face various powerful hellspawns, such as the Cyberdemon, the Spider Mastermind, the all-powerful Icon of Sin, the Mother Demon and her twin sister, the Resurrector, and the ruler of hell himself, the Dark Lord.
