Goofs

In the game, enemies can hear fired shots, which attracts their attention. But there's a bug in the game so that enemies can hear any attack, including your character's (silent) punches. Also, the enemies cannot hear the idling chainsaw, but once you attack with it they will be alerted.

The Legend

Doom is the legend, the game that started the computer gaming genre. The game that made a generation. Doom single-handedly made the computer the most powerful gaming system on the planet. Doom not only set the standards for graphics and fps, it set the standards for Computer Games everywhere.

Although the game is old and cheesy now, upon its original arrival it was horrifying and well built. Doom 3 will be the next game to define a generation... of what... I don't know.
