Doom the game, that like the main character, is just too angry to die, living on in a constant stream of re-releases, wrapping those age old wads in newer shinier packaging now with controller support and customization.

The original Doom team started before Id even existed working on making Super Mario Bros 3 work on a PC. The controls were impressive for the game, so mirroring them with the graphics onto a PC was quite the feat. Footage was uploaded by John Romero to celebrate Commander Keens 25th anniversary. From the description Romero says, Nintendo was impressed with the team developing the working clone for PC. Nintendo as history notes didnt want any of their proprietary games running on non Nintendo hardware. So the bad news is no Super Mario for PC and the better news is that we got Commander Keen out of it which then led to the creation of Id the creators of.... DOOM (insert dramatic explosion)

But the story of Doom and Nintendo doesnt end there!!! What about that other Doom game that isnt a Doom game? That one other game, the infamous Super Noahs Ark 3D available on steam here:
https://steamproxy.net/steamstore/app/371180/Super_3D_Noahs_Ark/
Super Noahs Ark 3D was an UNLICENSED game made by Wisdom Tree for Super Nintendo which bypassed the Super Nintendo lockout system by using a licensed Super Nintendo Game on top that plugged into the Super Noahs Cartridge like an old Nintendo Gameshark to work. Anyone interested in hitting up those devs be sure to ask where our Hellraiser game is because alot of gamers are still waiting to have their souls torn apart sadly not on the family favorite Nintendo Entertainment System, Hellraiser was going to come out back then... Why not Hellraiser today on the switch with that sweet puzzle solving pleasure that only the handheld switch can deliver for the right price, sir.

Many reading the above are surely thinking, HEY That Super Noahs Ark 3d Game is based on all of the levels of Wolfenstein not DOOM, you no nothing entitled gamer. But there is a connection since prior to that Id released Doom on the Super Nintendo. Was the later release of Super Noahs Ark Connected? Looking into the Ark never ends well so some questions are best left unanswered.

One of the devs has a youtube channel mostly lovecraftian stuff so here are the handpicked Doom videos for you:

The best insider ramblings about Doom from an insider rambling about Doom when hes not yelling at clouds:

Learn about the DOOM virus called Deathmatch that could shut down servers faster than a script kiddie on an iphone with an autotyping emoji keyboard hacking the illuminati.

Tom Hall way back in the year of our Lord 1992 created a blueprint for doom known as the Doom Bible which can be viewed here:
https://5years.doomworld.com/doombible/
Ever wonder why the monitors all read "Tei Tenga" instead of Mars, that original name came from the Doom Bible. Without breaking any of that treasured immersion consider that "Tei Tenga" is the name of the UAC base instead of the geographical area and all is right with world again.

The Doom Bible doesnt end there folks! The Doom Bible was used to create future games as well. Its Free Real Estate for making more games that are not even directly tied to doom so the ride never ends and is still going to this day. All of this started with this randomly inserted fact that the Demons being hellspawn evil demons of course committed the foul atrocity of taking out Doomguys pet rabbit, not just that but putting its head on a stick. BRUTAL! And thus the journey to Rip and Tear was born!!!

Want some Pinky backstory? Who doesnt, so check out the Doom Movie from 2005 to drive some Nine Inch Nails into your head where the end credits alone make it worth watching. The movie itself is a love letter to Doom, making it the best RomCom ever. (PERIOD, end of story, the BEST RomCom ever made!!! Ask someone what is their favorite Christmas movie these days and all the cool kids say in choreographed perfect unison "Die Hard", the same cool kids who shouted down those who dared to stand up back in the day proclaiming Die Hard as the best Christmas movie ever. Today the best Christmas movie has been hijacked by a bunch of Trancers from 1984 as if were all in some cyberpunk Orewellian nightmare not knowing the real deal best Christmas movie ever. Same thing goes with the great debate that rages on over what is the best RomCom, the debate is settled because the best RomCom is DOOM 2005, period, end of story.)

So you wanna rip and tear??? Then why not RIP INTO SOME CHEX CEREAL!!! Just TEAR then box open with your bear hands then RIP into that Chex goodness to find that free doom wad mod CD at the bottom of the box like its 1996. Might sound like a joke saying there is a Chex cereal game based on Doom but its a thing. A thing that boosted the sales of Chex by 295% leaving the public frothing at the mouth from eating all those Chex, which led to Chex Quest 2 and Chex Quest 3. Maul those Flemoids with your Zorcher!!! Anyone who calls themself a doom fan but hasnt yet battled the Flemoids can still play catch up here on steam:
https://steamproxy.net/steamstore/app/804270/Chex_Quest_HD/
Standalone Installer from one of the developers here (Includes the entire Chexology):
http://www.chucktropolis.com/downloads/ChexQuest3.zip
(Be warned, when you stare into the Flemoid Dimension, the Flemoid Dimension stares back.)

This review could go on and on like the legend that is Doom itself so like Doom it shall have no end, since the battle against EVIL will never end!

Rating: 10/10
