Product Information

The most popular PC game of the early '90s finally makes its way to the Sega Saturn. As the title commonly referred to as the first great first-person shooter, Doom was the second offering by a newly formed team at ID Software headed by John Romero and John Carmack after they successful broke new ground with the Nazi first-person shooter Wolfenstein 3D. Doom on the Saturn not only features the original, but also Ultimate Doom and Doom II: Hell on Earth all rolled onto the one CD. That means that there are over 55 levels of brutal, hi-octane, gut-spilling action to be had. The story follows the life of a space marine (that's you!) who is sent to follow up on a distress call from Phobos, something to the like of "Something freakin' seriously evil is coming out of the gateways. Computer systems have gone berserk." While you may start with only a humble pistol, you will soon acquire a weapon arsenal that would make many of the world's armies blush in response. Chainsaws, shotguns, chainguns, rocket launchers, plasma rifles, and the devastating BFG 9000 are all at your disposal with the later two packing an indescribable punch. Other items that can be collected include various pieces of ammo, armor, healing goodies such as medikits and stimpacks, as well as other useful items, such as invulnerability, artifacts, and spheres. Unfortunately, you're up against some of the scariest and most deadly hell-spawned creatures your ever likely to witness. From the former human souls who patrol the base with pistols, shotguns, and chainguns -- imps, demons, specters, lost souls, hell knights, barons of hell, and various other nasties will attempt to make your time in the base difficult to say the least. More detailed enemies include the Cyber Demon, a huge mechanical hell-knight with a missile-launcher attached as an arm; Spider Mastermind, a brain sitting on top of a pair of mechanical legs with a super-chaingun mounted on his abdominal area for good relations; and Mancubus, a fireball-firing, overweight demon who may look like a wide target but will still blow you away if you're not careful.
