Doom

Doom is a cult first-person shooter released in 1993 by id Software. The game becomes the foundation of the entire FPS genre, setting standards for speed, level design, and atmosphere, and defines the face of PC gaming for years to come.

The player takes on the role of a space marine fighting demons unleashed from Hell on a Martian base. Dozens of weapons, dark corridors, deadly traps, intense combat, and a legendary soundtrack make Doom incredibly addictive. The levels are labyrinthine, full of secrets, keys, and enemies, and the game keeps players engaged until the final shot.

From the beginning, Doom spreads via shareware and quickly becomes a viral hit. Thanks to its open file structure and flexible engine, the player community immediately begins creating custom levels and modifications.

Today, Doom remains one of the most moddable games in history. Hundreds of thousands of custom WAD files, full campaigns, total conversions, remakes on new engines, and gameplay experiments keep the scene alive and thriving. Fans create ports to modern systems, co-op modes, multiplayer arenas, and even full engine recreations.

Doom is not just a legendary game - it's a platform that continues to inspire generations of players and developers.
