So what if Activision just threw all of the DOOM games on a CD
Now you don't have to worry about where are your floppys or separate CD's Now you've got all your 3 favorite games on one CD
They will never get erased, & you'll keep it longer.
DOOM Collector's Edition includes the first original DOOM, DOOM II and FINAL DOOM! The levels are great, the gameplay and the story is awesome!
Maybe the graphics aren't good enough for you, but hey this games were realesed about 10 years ago! Back then this was the best game!!!
If you got an old PC, why throw it away, put some old DOS or Windows 95/98 games on it, and go back in the 90's
I bought this game from Wal-Mart for only $10.00
It was the best deal!!!
I played it on my 366 MHz laptop with 128 megabytes of RAM and 14.1 GIGS of HD space with Win. ME
And it worked great!
So just buy this game and enjoy first-person shooter, destroy all the monsters and save the human race in this awesome game!

It's Doom, it's awesome

With other new and much funner games out today like Splinter Cell and XIII, Doom may now be a wee bit toothless, but its still tons of fun to play. This package, despite not having a manual and instructions for a beginner (but the game is so simple that unless you're a complete newcomer to PC games it should be effortless to learn) it is a GREAT deal. Buy it at Wal-Mart; they have it for $9.99; it includes all three full version original Doom games, an outstanding collection

DOOM!

Doom was and still is a great game. You get all the orginal Dooms on the CD. A warning to you windows XP/2000 users, the mouse wil not work. (...) I highly recomend getting it. (You will need the Wad's on the CD).

I only have one bad thing to say about the bundle: You don't get any of the CD tracks that came with the orginal Doom!

On the good side: I'm having more fun playing it than I did Doom3. I know it sounds crazy but it is true. Doom1 just had better level designers behind it.

All in all if you played the orginal Doom I would recommend getting this just for kicks.

From someone who is not a skilled gamer.....

After watching all the hype for the new Doom movie I wanted to see what the game was like. I purchased this at Wal Mart for 9.99. From someone who never plays a lot of pc games it's a good simple first person shooter. You don't have to devote hours to this for it to be a fun game. I only hope that the newest version is just as good. It can be easily saved so you don't have to play all the levels over again. That was a big sticking point with me on many games. I refused to buy a lot of them unless I read the reviews first.

I'd have to rate this 5 out of 5 because it is like an action comic book novel.

Any PC owner needs this.

I don't know why so many people on this site are complaining. This compilation is flawless. You've got everything you need here! You don't need some fancy jewel case or some detailed manual to play this. Anyway, let's split up what's in this package and get on with the review.......

Ultimate Doom: The one that started it all. The Ultimate Doom is basically the first Doom, but with 9 levels to add to the other 27, totaling 36. My favorite installment in this package.

Doom II: The direct sequel to Doom, adding the Super Shotgun, twice the number of enemies, 32 new levels, and plenty of other extras. This entry feels a bit different than its predessor, but still, it's a fine entry in the Doom universe.

Final Doom: Other than 64 new levels, this entry adds nothing new to the franchise. It's still very enjoyable, but it does lose some of its charm for adding nothing we've seen before. It's still a very fun and enjoyable game, though.

Bottom Line: Just grab this. It'll run on any computer manufactured after 1995, and all of the games here are still fun and addictive (even after 10+ years!). Add to all that the low price, and this excellent compilation will completely change your opinion on a vacation in Hell.

i played doom as a young kid when it first came out (i'm 20 now, so do the math) with my dad. i thought it was wild, but then it sorta got lost in the shuffle.. new computer, all that stuff..
so i bought the collectors edition.
now i remember what all the commotion was about.
let me just say this. even if youve played doom before, go ahead and hop into Doom 1, and play Thy Flesh Consumed on Ultraviolence. scared the bejeezus outta me. those first two levels. absolutely diabolical. not to say that the rest of that mission isnt equally as challenging, but those first two made my jaw hit the floor.

oh and a word of advice to those who decide to get jDoom or something up that vein. Dont reprogram the controls to use the mouse. Using todays control structure, i BLEW thru doom on the hardest difficulty with almost no issues at all. you need to be on keyboard ONLY.

It's Doom for cryin' out loud:)

It's Doom, such a great game. They aren't going to improve the graphics because that would be like changing the traditions of a family. This game was once the greatest game on Earth, and there is still some influence of that today. Back then people could't turn on a PS2 and play some high powered shooter or go online with Xbox, they had Doom to come home to when they came home from work/school. It was some peoples life back then, and this celebrates their hardships as they passed through each level, hoping that the next one will be even more challenging. I hope you think of that the next time you play Doom.

The greatest game of all time

Doom is the only PC game that perfects the balance between Technology and Design. The game is very close to flawless overall. The Art is incredibly well done. The technology was a significantly ahead of it's time in 1993. The Gameplay... PERFECT!Level design can't get any better then this, lots of tricks and traps especially in Doom 2. It's all put together to make an immersive experience. The weapons are all great. Even the fist can be fun to use. The super shotgun in Doom 2 is quite possibly the greatest weapon in any video game ever. You can actually kill like 7 or 8 zombies grouped together with the thing. The monsters are amazing. Everyone has a favorite, some say its the Mancubus in Doom 2. Some say its the cacodemon. I say it's the Cyber-demon. I remember the first time I heard the chyber-demon. I literally almost pissed my pants in terror. It was the PC fight of my life and to this day he still offers a pretty cool fight. The sound is perhaps perfect, this game took many songs from such bands like Alice in Chains, Metallica, Slayer and Pantera. And it fits the levels perfectly. The weapons all sound satisfying and powerful, not weak like some in Doom 3. The monsters sound cool, all memorable. Even the noise you hear when the door opens and closes is memorable. This was the best multiplayer action game back in the day also. I remember playing through serial ports and the internet with Doom and Doom 2. It was extremely fun, addicting, and something people have never seen before. Co-op was great too.

As for the collection itself, it comes with Ultimate Doom which is essentially doom with an extra chapter "Thy Flesh Consumed". Doom 2 and Final Doom. It also comes with a preview of Doom 3 which is pretty much useless now that the game is already released.

The thing is, they should have included so much to this to become a decent collectors edition. There should have been a Doom poster, a Doom soundtrack and which songs the game took from. The development of Doom such as interviews of what it took to make Doom, a closer look at the guys who made Doom, pictures of the development like John Romero sculpturing the Baron of Hell demon. There should have been a cd for each Doom that looked like the cd of Doom back in it's day. There should be a strategy guide of Doom 2, yes there is one. There should be the regular Doom manuals. Even a Doom t shirt would have been sweet. They also should have added some of the best WADS ever released from Doom/Doom 2. WADS are modifications made for Doom by fans, it could be levels, new monsters, new sounds etc An example is the Simpsons mod. If it had all these in the collectors edition then it would have been perfect.

READ ME! by all means......

Doom is a really fun game...., okay it's old..., okay, the graphic are granular, the it self is just AMAZING :P ! ! !
First, for one of you who are wondering about the graphic (VGA 320x200) that's really messy... this is not a problem anymore, on [url] Section Doom Port, they got plenty of utils to play doom, in 640x480, or 800x600...
But that's not all, they have utils that suport Open Gl, and DirectX 3d... so the graphic are pretty nice, and light effect ect... here is the site for the program im talking you about, Legacy, [url]
and buying this game is a really good choice... ;)
