I used to play this game, like, 8 years ago. And i had to sell cause my playstation broke. So now i just found it last night at the mall. Doom is the best game ever, the best level is House Of Pain. It has alot of upsidedown crosses and pentagrams and picturesof Satan on several of the levels, and that makes it even better. And the gore and stuff is awesome, its probaly the goriest game ive ever played. Its quite hard. The Barons Of Hell are hard ... to kill. The graphics are pretty bad, but all od the best games have bad graphics, I dont really care about how good it looks, i dont really even like most Playstaion 2 games. Get this game along with the game simply called D.
This game is really hard to find. Im lucky to have again!
this game was great

doom for playstation is amazing, so good that i am purchasing it for the second time. it is revolutionary, a great advancement in graphics from its father game: wolf3d(another must have), the start of what is known today as "the first person shooter". while it originally was released on pc, and i used to own it on pc, both are good, but i prefer the ps1 version. it is more than one game in one so theres no switching discs. your playstation is not going to get a virus and crash, so you will always have the game(so long as you take care of the disc), and it runs quickly because playstations do not have to compete with other programs. the real bonus here though is the combination of doom 1, ultimate doom(an expansion pack), and doom 2. plus the fact of improved graphics from the very first release of doom, all the classic weapons and monsters, and a roiling good time!
Grand Daddy of Shoot em ups.

This is a one player, 1st person shooter. The goal is to finish each level by finding keys, weapons and health kits all the while killing as many commies that look like monsters as possible, and trust me there are lots of commies. There are hidden secrets throughout the game and any number of sites on the net to tell you where those secrets are. The villians get smarter and tougher as you progress through the game, the 1st opponents are just some slow moving, shotgun toting targets, later levels have half ram-half man beasts that are almost invincible shooting rockets at you! Good thing you can get a double barrel shotgun, a minigun anti aircraft type weapon, brass knuckles, a rocket launcher, a plasma gun, a pistol and even a chainsaw for those up and close encounters. Ever wonder what it would be like to walk into a building and just start shooting everyone in sight? If so there are two things you need 1) Profesional help 2) This game. Good deal at this price.
krap-PS1 never had any good FPS games!

DOOM was much better on Nintendo 64!-PS1 didn`t have FPS in their "Talent" genre-N64 did.
The Three games machines that had the best FPS games genre as a "talent" was:
PC
NINTENDO 64
XBOX
DOOM was ok on PS1 but not a good.

Well, I the PC verison of Doom and the other 2 are the best, but the Play Station version is a little below the PC verison. But it is a good game to work with, the graphics are good, the controls are easy to get used to. Lot's of good levels in the game, when I got this one, i just had to get the other one, I recomend that to you to.
Ignore the rest: Doom is the best !

The original seek and destroy game that cost gamers thousands of hours of their life. Buy it. Live it. Learn . You get nowhere just blasting away. Like an anger management class: Doom teaches you to respect your murderous side; your own lifeis on the line if you mess up. No full 3D, up and down full enviroment controls here.... Oh no, just grab guns and blow away the bad guys. Pure. A pleasure to play. The soundtrack composers get much praise for the creepy/atmospheric score. DOOM is very much a MOOD GAME.
This is where all this first person shooter stuph got started. And I believe it holds up its end of the deal; pure mayhem and destruction for those of us who need it. Enjoy the DOOM imitators, but remember this one's the BOMB!
CLASSIC GAMING FUN!

One of the greatest shooting games ever. You play as a stranded space marine on the moons of Mars Phobos and Demios. Creatures from hell spawn from broken military portals on the moons. You must kill all the creatures on both moons then you go to the underworld {hell} and make sure no monster gets to earth alive. You WILL have to get out of there when your finished{of course}. You will find out more when play it cause words just cant describe all of it.
Lots of Action

I played the PC version 10 years ago, in addition to Wolfenstein, and I was hooked. I was lucky to find a game for playststion recently, and though the graphics are outdated, who cares? The only cheat I use is for weapons, as you need them for the difficult levels-I prefer FPS, and this is the best! This is a must have classic for any gamer, casual or serious-I am a DOOMaddict-Gil

Based in the horrers of hell this was a scary game at the time of 1990. Now now there is a new adition of DOOM so called the 3'ed. Did you youst think that all those hell knigths,imps,barrens of hell,mancubus and the cyberdemon were scary well think again! DOOM 3 is set the scariest game of the and it looks like our little scary freinds have just grown up. Now on to DOOM. For the PS1 this was great grathics and the graphicks are goodeneth to see the detail on very small switchs this was 1990. The guns are great. the list, 1 fists,chainsaw,pistol,shotgun,super shotgun,chaingun,rocket launcher,plasmagun and the BFG 9000. Yuor first three wepons are a bit poor so Ied addvise you not to go up against the cyberdemon if you dont want to get yourself killed. The Game play is as good as you can get for some of the very early consle games. The basic story line is that your a milatary solder and you have to stop an invasion of demons from escaping the gates of HELL. If you die then earth is conkered by HELL. When you finish the game a sreen will apear a monster like voice will start speaking with the words apearing on the the sreen , after that nearly all yhe mosters in DOOM apear in turn and you get to shoot them with your shotgun this will go on forever until you go to the menu or type in a password. I hope all you doom fans out there have played the multiplayer deathmatch and copritive cos I havent bacause it wont connect or it just takes a load of time.
