This "Collectors Pack" is great for those that have not yet had the chance to play Doom. It includes Ultimate Doom (Doom 1 and an aditional mission) Doom 2 and Final Doom. All 3 games for less than 20 bucks! Thats a great deal, Doom is one of the best games of all time and those who haven't had the chance to play it at all can get all 3 games in this bundle and see what you're missing. Sure, they're "old games" but the thing about Doom is, to me, even today the games seem fresh when I pop them in and play them, they're definatly worth it. Check it out, if you like first person shooters like Quake, or Half Life then you're gonna love Doom.

Doom is simply a classic

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... ;)

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

This is indeed the start of a new DOOM hype! Add to that the realease of DOOM for the GBA and DOOM III (code named) in the making, life cannot get any better than this! I am an avid DOOM freak and will definitely get this at least for nostalgic purposes. Keep DOOMing!

Wasted opportunity

I'm a big Doom fan, and I'm glad to see it back on the shelves in any form, but this bundle is nothing more than a wasted opportunity. It's The Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, and Final Doom thrown onto a CD with some PDFs instead of tangible manuals. That's it. No extras, no features, no new levels, no new anything. Generally "Collector's Edition"s have some sort of exclusive content which help justify their name; this package would be more accurately described as "Repackaged Edition."

To make this a worthwhile purchase, Activision could have done any number of things. They could have included the Master Levels; that's an omission I just can't understand, since they're not available in retail anymore and the CD certainly has lots of extra space. They could have included the early alphas and beta versions of Doom to show what the game looked like during its development. They could have included any of the Doom posters which were made, or a pewter Doom-monster figurine, or an updated version of the Book of id which was included in the id Anthology package years ago, or scans of concept drawings for the game, or, most notably, any of the new Windows or hardware-accelerated versions of the Doom executable which have been made since the source code was released years ago. Sadly, the package has none of these.

If you've never played any of the Dooms, then this certainly is worth buying simply because it's cheap. For people like me who own the games, however, it is nothing more than a waste of twenty bucks.

I thought the "wasted opportunity" guy was a big complainer

(...)picked this up at Fry's yesterday and they literally couldn't have done less. It's a regular game-sized box, with the following contents:

(1) CD

Yup, that's it. And there's nothing special on the CD, either. Just DOOM. Not even an accelerated port of it - not a problem for me, as they're all over the net, but c'mon. No 3d accelleration out of the box? Gaaaay. Just their last "doom95.exe" Windows port.

Again, they literally could not have done less. As "The Complainer" pointed out, they could have included a poster, or a soundtrack CD, or a T-shirt, or a pewter Cacodemon (oooo! I want that!), or a tin box, or FREAKING ANYTHING TO MERIT THE "COLLECTOR'S EDITION" MONIKER, but no.

Seriously, though, having said all that, I'm not bitter - it was (dollar amount), and I wanted the games. The price was fine, and I lost my original DOOM][ CD long ago - I needed these games and will probably play them more than most other games I own currently or that I get as gifts this holiday season. They're the real stuff.

What more can Doom offer? In this bundle, not much, but just incase you missed the Doom craze back in 1994 - 1997, here is the plot of it. You are a lone soldier sent out on a first person shooter to annihilate creatures, goat headed demons, imps, zombie soldiers, and huge cybernetic spider masterminds. So what do you get with this "Collector's Bundle?" all of the official Doom releases, starting with the Ultimate Doom, which is the original 27 levels of Doom, plus an extra tough 9 additional levels. Then when you defeat that, move on to Doom 2, which is 32 levels with new monsters, such as the Chain Gunners, Pain Elementals, and the Arch Vile and others, but still the same old weapons and graphics. The levels are incredibly detailed with 100s of new wall textures, where you actually believe you are in a city slum overrun by monsters, and you go to the lair of the monsters to destroy the big bad bosses. Finally included on the single CD-ROM that comes in this bundle is Final Doom. Most Doom players missed out on this because it was an expansion pack released for Doom 2, which contains 64 new levels! However, they are nothing you should go running to it just adds to the longevity and difficulty of Doom. This bundle is pretty bad, especially when it comes in a box and not a single jewel case (because everything is on a single CD-ROM)!

Doom is a very good first person shooter and next to wolf3D it is the greatest game ever made. Wolf3D is the grand daddy of morden 3D games but it was Doom which made the world sit and take notice. Without Doom there would be no multiplayer tournaments, I think doom is the game which started the multiplayer games with co-operative and deathmatch gameplay. You play a soldier sent to another planet to destroy the aliens and save the world, The gameplay is very good and the controls are very easy to use. The length of all the games are very good. Finally i think an OpenGL patch for Doom called GLDoom was made by a gamer using the doom source code. I read that on the net a long time ago. They could have included that patch in this edition. If you like doom then get Heretic, Hexen and Wolfenstein3D you will like them too.
