Though I am not much into those high-end PS or Xbox games, but there was a time when I liked to spend time on my computer with some engaging games. Doom is definitely one game that has a great recall value and its concept is still very exciting in this age of sophisticated games.

Fist Person Shooter Game

This video game belongs to the FPS category that is software released in 1993. Every time I donned the role of Doomguy, I felt the challenge of finding my way through the obstacles created by those innumerous invading demons from hell. It had those three 9-level episodes, which ensured that there is never a dull moment, as the level of challenge kept on increasing with every episode.

Exciting Lighting Effects

What I liked most about this game was its scary lighting effects. Though I have experienced many ‘scary’ video games, but actually found that those were never so scary as claimed by some people.

Rather, I can say that such games are scary up to a certain IQ level. However, Doom shatters such generalization in a big way. With those lights flashing rhythmically and slowly when you walk through and suddenly realize that you are being followed by a hideous beast, is indeed quite an intense experience. For me it was scary, but that gave me the kick to play the game again and again.

Though there are number of blood spraying and pump action events when you encounter those pink monsters, but after a point of time, you feel that the number of enemies could be more. Every time you eliminate a demon, move and turn, you will find a new one that is more deformed creature grotesquely than the previous one. This keeps on sensing a horror, but you do feel the enemies are fairly limited after a point of time.

Weapon Collection is Cool

I can definitely say that the collection of weapons that you get to eliminate the demons is cool. You start only with a pistol, but as you keep on gaining power and advance stages, you pick up various ammunition supplies such as a chain gun, shot gun, chainsaw, plasma rifle, rocket launcher and that extremely powerful BFG 9000.

The Power Packs are Exciting

You also get various power-ups like the backpack that raises your capacity to carry ammunition, first aid kits, armor for restoring health. The berserk pack that not only restore health, but also cause punching attack to deal with huge damage.

I particularly liked the Supernatural blue orbs that boosted up to 200% health and protective suits for surviving the toxic attacks or other useful stuffs such as computer maps, night vision or handling partial invisibility.

All these features are combinedly no less than a revolution for the gamers back then. I would still rate Doom as one of the best video games ever produced till date.
