THE ULTIMATE DOOM TRILOGY
Released in late-2001, this bundle contains three important titles in the series. Included are Ultimate Doom (the complete version of the original game), Doom II: Hell on Earth, and Final Doom.
Old soldiers never die, they just turn into blood thirsty mutant zombies.Ultimate Doom - even to this very day, this game is still really fun to play. If you are not a graphics junkie anyway. I love the levels in this game. It is not too difficult either. It starts you out with some nice small to medium sized levels and then as you reach the half way point, or there abouts, you start to see the difficulty increase a little. I dont find it hard at all, even on Nightmare mode - but on this mode you do need to keep an eye on your Health as they are a little quicker at shooting and better at aiming too. This can be said though for all the Doom games in this package. Everyone who has played Ultimate Doom will never forget their first time on it. I mean the game leaves that kind of impact that wont go away. Even Doom 3 has a similar impact on me when playing for the first time. But not just quite as good as U.D had. The monsters were pretty good in design as well for the time it came out. I mean the style of them has yet to be bettered by any game. I dont think we will ever see such originality as a Cacodemon or Cyberdemon or Chaingunner or Mancubus (Doom 2 and Final Doom), Revenant, etc. The thought put into designing these creatures and making them a reality in pixel form is excellent indeed.
Doom 2: Hell On Earth - This entry to the series brings one or two new things - guns, monsters, newer levels. The only new gun in the series up till now is the sawn off 12 Gauge Double Barrel Shotgun.When you use it, it feels really hard to go back to the pump-action shotgun. As it is just so damn addictive to use lol. The levels in this one are way bigger than in U.D they are slightly tougher as well. When they throw monsters at you it is the big ones they throw, not the puny ones. Most of the time anyway. As you work your way to the end of this title it feels like you have been through hell and back, compared to U.D's difficulty.
Final Doom - The toughest of the Doom series I think. Each level is specially chosen from thousands of WAD levels people make with the level editor. Or so I read in Games Master magazine a while back (Games Master - a UK mag). This game makes you really work to get to the exit alive. It throws everything in the Doom universe at you and doesn't hold back. I have seen Cyberdemons early on in the game, when I am not used to seeing them till the half way point or further on. It pits you against hordes of the undead and demons time after time. You get ambushed more times than in Ultimate Doom and Doom 2 put together and then some and from all angles, which usually leads to some language that would make "Happy Gilmore" blush. I love Final Doom, I love it as much as U.D maybe even slightly more. For I cannot get enough of the thrill I get when issued with the challenge of surviving every level you go into in Final Doom. And not knowing if you will come out of the next level alive clinging to the tiny bit of health you have left, or die trying to reach the exit.
This Doom package is one of the best value packages in video game history.

For Windows (32-bit Systems) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']
WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
