When I was a kid in the 90's, I remember watching other kids (and also teens & adults) playing "Ultimate Doom" on their computers. Now, more than 7 years later, I finally had the chance to play the game (I bought the Doom collector's edition CD-ROM earlier this year, which includes the next 2 Doom games).
It's an excellent first-person shooting game. The storyline is very original: You play as a marine stationed on a UAC base (Union Aerospace Corporation) which is on the planet Mars. Suddenly an inter-dimensional gate opens, and now monsters from hell are coming out of it and wreaking havoc among the main UAC station. You are the only survivor, and you must fight your way through, shut down the gate, and get back to your home planet Earth.
There is an interesting batch of monsters. The first monsters are very weak zombie soldiers, whom were once just like you, but they were killed by the Hell demons and then became possessed by Hell's evil. As you advance further through the levels you fight more types of monsters such as the annoying Imps, the balloon-like Cacodemons, the fiery Lost Souls, and more.
The maps in the game are pretty good for its time of release. All the maps look like a futuristic space station, with harsh environmental hazards such as slime, lava, and explosive barrels. Of course, there are also doors that you must open up using key cards and those cute little skull keys.
The weapons that you use are easy to handle, especially the handy shotgun. The Chaingun is pretty useful too, especially for blasting many demons quickly. And let's not forget the all-powerful BFG-9000; this weapon is extremely strong and can be used to clear a room full of demons (although you may need to fire more than one shot to kill all the demons in the room.
To conclude, this is the best shooting game of all time! Despite the game being about 10 years old, it is still being played by many gamers worldwide. You should join in the fun, too! I give this game a 10/10.
