Moving up from my recent super nintendo game posts, i have decided to talk about another old but more recent console, the sony playstation, and one of its classic games, DOOM. The sony playstation revolutionised gaming, with 3d graphics far surpasing the previous gaming consoles.



Not only did the sony playstation have better graphics, they were very dedicated on making great games for the platform, one of these being the game doom. Doom was one of the first shooting games available, and created the whole shooting genre, which is now are the most popular platform games.

Doom is based on the story that hell has escaped on earth, slaying these monsters in the most gruesome way possible. You have an array of weapons at your disposal, from plasma guns to chainsaws and even your metal studded fist. The game was so successful not only due to the fact it was a shooting game with many weapons, but the levels were very well thought out.


The levels continually keep you on your toes, with well hidden monsters and a maze like quality constantly keeping your brain busy. The game is also full of many secrets which keep you trying to find many weeks after you have completed the game.

Overall i really recommend this game to any avid gamers, who dont mind a drop in graphics from the modern day games to a game based on just classic good old gameplay. Here is a trailer below which gives you a basic idea of the gameplay and i hope it encourages you to play.
