If I close my eyes I can still hear the snuffle grunting, demon growls and cries, shotgun sounds and the lift noises
Doom’s legacy is unprecedented. It pioneered the first-person shooter genre and delivered fast-paced gameplay and iconic demonic adversaries. It shaped the gaming industry for decades, set a benchmark for immersive, adrenaline-fueled experiences… and the underlying tech and graphics. John Carmack’s a legend!
I’ve never heard of this game. It must not have been all that great if I never heard of it, and I know a lot of things
Halo: Combat Evolved revolutionized gaming more than Doom though
Doom changed everything about gaming.
Ha ha, old
Happy birthday!
Semi related, remember the Doom 2 screensaver? I miss the 90s
Thirty years ago?
Not twenty?
Or even ten?
… fuck
I guess you could say today is… DOOM’s day?

Happy birthday doom!!
i remember my cousin showing me doom two when i was young. thought it was the coolest game in the world. however traumatized my little brain was from the gore, i was fascinated by the world, and thought it was the coolest thing ever
“One of”? No, *The* most influential
As much as Doom is the tits, I’d have to argue that it was Wolfenstein which changed it all.
This was THE game for me back then. I remember playing it at a friend’s house and I HAD to have it. It really launched my love of PC gaming. Man I miss those days.
Happy Birthday Doom. I love you
i really want to go out in public, with a decent speaker, and play the aggro noise of a Cacodemon to see who recognizes it and nerds out or wonders why some person is hissing really loud at them for no reason.
Happy birthday, DOOM! You’ve aged well.
Crazy thing about Doom is it’s still bags of fun to play. Influential, three decades old, and still an absolute banger.
Jamais eu l’occasion d’y jouer malheureusement , mais mon père à adoré. Joyeux anniversaire a un jeu qui a probablement changer énormément de chose dans l’industrie du jeu vidéo
Bruh my dad turned 28 the day Doom dropped. Dad lore goes crazy
I didn’t just play it. I installed it everywhere I could for some poor bored soul to find. Libraries, school, friends computers, grandma’s computer.
Heh… I remember that day! I thought I would have to do a long distance call to Software Creations to get a copy, but while I was working at the pizza place, my little brother had managed to find a local BBS that had a copy, so I didn’t have to use the autodialer to repeatedly check if one of the lines was free. I ordered a registered copy as soon as I could get my ass to the post office to get a money order to send to Distant Markets, the Canadian distributor of many shareware titles. It arrived during the week between Christmas and New Years. I kind of miss getting games in the mail.
Happy birthday 🎂
Damn. I had to remember how old I was because 30 years sounded too much
No need to aim up and down. The devs know you wanted to blast that demon on the ledge.
My dad brought home doom when I was about 6 in case of floppy disks his work friend gave him, along with a bunch of other games. That was a real good day.
My reason for gaming
IDDQD, IDKFA, lets go!
One of my favorite game series of all time, that I still play from time to time.
Also Sigil 2 made by John Romero(one of the creator’s of Doom) releases today for Doom.
I had a 486 sx25 back then, and we used to get my brothers friend to bring his 486 dx2 over so we could death match on doom via serial cable.
Was so jealous of the frame rate on the dx2.
“Video game violence is too realistic”
I was 6 back then, too young for DOOM.
Happy Birthday DOOM!! *E1M1 Intensifies*
When I was a kid, I asked my mom to buy me Dune 2. Neither I nor my mom spoke English very well, so maybe I mispronounced or maybe she misheard, or maybe she didn’t repeat correctly, but she then asked my older cousin, who was more knowledgeable of computers and games then she was about it, and my cousin, hearing “Doom”, told her it was way too violent for me. So my mom refused to buy me dune 2.
Plot twist, my cousin is also the person who configured our first computer, and I believe he used an image from his own computer or something, because it was “preloaded” with several games, such as Commander Keen, and… Doom.
As for dune 2, I just asked my friend to copy it for me on a floppy.
