Is it still worth playing?
id Software's 1993 first person shooter for MS-DOS, distributed as shareware. An unnamed space marine fights demons and possessed humans on the moons of Mars and in Hell itself after a teleportation experiment goes wrong. There are three episodes of eight levels, each ending in a boss fight, and a fourth came with The Ultimate Doom in 1995. Every level is a labyrinth in which you find the way to a marked exit, using an arsenal that runs from a pistol and a shotgun to the chainsaw, the plasma rifle and the BFG 9000. WAD files keep the levels and graphics apart from the engine, so anyone can make their own. It made deathmatch a mode and is called the father of the first person shooter. Its level design and its atmosphere are why it is worth playing now: each maze is a place you learn, and the claustrophobic rooms keep the pace fast.
