    I've enjoyed watching that!
    Does it annoy you in any way that you can't aim up or down?

  • DeathsHead419  - Got this one

    You cannot aim up or down because there is no z-axis. Doom is technically 2.5D, where the sprites are projected across a 2D plain with walls to clip against.

  • Bertram

    I dont uderstand any of that, but I recall Quake having been the first shooter to use a real 3D engine.
    Cant say if its correct but at least they revolutionised SOMETHING^^

  • chungy

    This is a common misconception: http://classicdoom.com/doommyth.htm#01

    Doom's engine makes plenty of use of all the dimensions -- including the Z-axis.

  • supervortex2004

    I was never a very big "DOOM" fan, but I have to give it the credit of having one of the best music scores of any game, ever.

  • kasper798  - great

    Good one Lee...

    Funny as hell....literally

  • Mangamad

    I never NEVER played a first person game until I played Doom3...and even that was like hell.

  • Shinigami

    This was great LP-series. Thanks Lee.

  • Silverene

    Glad to know that I wasn't the only one who was scared of these pink pixels. :D But it was in the years when it just was released. Shit was so cash, I want ot play it now, but I think that I'll be even worse gamer. :P
    Anyway, thanks Lee for a very entertaining review. :D
    Are you going to do Supaplex some time? I always got stuck around level 111. :P

    I recall playing doom, it always pissed me off when that ending happened, it seemed like I lost and did it wrong some way but when I played it again and actually could read some English I understood that was the end. It really is a good game and it actually goes pretty well even if you can't look up or down, people should give this game a chance. Oh and Lee, if you are wondering about doom 2 it is like 30 levels (i even think it came with expansion so it was total of 50 levels), PACKED with secrets including special stages from Wolfenstein and you get to see Hitler and Jesus head! Its really hard and if you thought those to bosses at the end was hard, don't ever pick up Doom 2.
    Anyways I always wanted to play chapter 2-4 but never got to play it (call 666-D00M!!MF *sarcastic voice*), and its bad also because I don't have a X-box 360 and if i could I would buy a PS3.

    While i love some modern FPS' like Bioshock, Half Life 2 and the like it's the old skool games like this, Duke Nukem 3D and Quake 2 that are the real Kings of the genre, just one bloke against the massive hordes and hugely overpowered weapons :D

    Good Let's Play Lee, you have to be perticularly good at what you do to pull off a Let's Play, not everyone can do it but you certainly pulled it off. I perticularly liked you panicking even though you had over 100% health and armour!

    Though despite the fact i enjoyed this i don't thnk you should be in too much of a hurry to make more, this should be a rare occurence as i beleive your main show is a much better concept than a Let's Play

    30 levels, plus two secret levels based on Wolfenstein...you don't actually see Hitler, though Commander Keen does pop up.

    Jesus's head? One of the designer's head, yes, but you have to be cheating to see that, on the final level...which you'd really want to be cheating at if you want to win.

    And yeah, awesome score, especially for this level.

    Well, actually the last level seemed to take an eternity, I was playing the level for an half hour and the same spawns were spawning over and over. (ammo also went out) So first I searched every wall over and over and nothing. So my last resort was using noclip and then I found what seemed like Jesus head, clicked it out of curiosity and won. I didn't actually think I should have won by clicking it and have no save file since start of that level so I went along with it.
    Also, I really think I had a expansion because I'm really sure I went over 40 levels, as you can see on the wikipedia about Doom 2 the expansion contained 21 maps. Or something, it was just so long ago since I played it that I can't remember.
    Anyway, cloud8745 has posted a walktrough on viddler about the game, hes really funny Walktrough guy, you should check him out:

  • Atticus

    An enjoyable LP. I'm interested in your interest in American McGee's Alice. It seems like an interesting idea, and I'd love to see it on either Still Gaming or even better as another LP. Nice job, Lee.

  • mwong04

    Is Lee gonna do the other chapters as well? Because I'm really excited to see what the fuck is going on after you get killed in the dark chamber with thousands of monsters around you

  • wolfpredator2007  - Multiplayer

    There is only Deathmatch and Co-Op for Doom, unless you are on a computer, and use a source port to run Doom, then you might get others.

    Like Skulltag for the PC has so many multiplayer modes.

    It has Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Last Man Standing, and several others.

  • qwerqsar

    Ya,about the multiplayer, I have been a few years back a doomer, so I often went nuts when you wouldn't just shot the right barrel, lol.
    But on the other side, there is an ample multiplayer and hundreds of new levels to be played, created by fans. Just to star with, try www.zdoom.org (if it's still there). The bad part: it is PC, the good part, many programmers have worked their version of an exe to be able to play the old games with the new ones.
    PLus there is multiplayer programms too, but it is horribly complicated just to play, since it is an open source everyone changes his level and you ahve to re-download the same game 500 times, but it can be fun. Obviously this is just a comment, so it won't go in details.
    I'll just end with: great little play and everyone should check out doom 1 and 2 for the PC. They are just classics!

    *whoops, the above emntioned the skulltag,. yeah!*

  • Deimos1984rd

    That ending surprised me when I first played doom, I was thinking that it was some kind of survival level but found out that it was actually the ending to episode 1, That was a very exciting and very fun and memorable lets play, thanks a lot :)

  • ValerieValens  - Suggestion for next game.

    Great playthrough. Though if you really find Doom that intense, then I would love to see you try and get through Serious Sam.

  • Lotus Prince

    I had wanted to do a review or a Let's Play of American McGee's Alice. Maybe first, I can show everyone the hardest official Doom level conceived, "Go 2 It."

  • Ludlov  - You DOOMed me Lee!

    Well i watched this LP, bought it Xbox LIVE and now i'm hooked. I had forgotten how much funs this game is. Everytime i finish a level i think to myself "I should get some sleep now...but first, let's see what this level has to offer." No sleep for me.

  • Painkiller

    That was awesome.. makes me want to buy it all over again :) I remember playing it on my friends 486 (he was the only one who could afford such a "fast" machine at the time.

    MP was always fun even though you couldnt aim up and down :)

  • Wartooth91

    OMG DO A LET"S PLAY OF AMERICAN McGEE's ALICE!!!!! THAT GAME WAS SO AWESOME AND I LOST MY COPY and i was almost done..... :(
    also i have heard about a sequal.

    Magic! I call it crazy witchcraft!

  • CoolIT  - Classic

    That was a nice run through the classic shareware.

    I think however the best doom game is Doom2

    Played this game on a pentium133 multiplayer with a friend using dial up modem... It was Gold.

    Unfortunately we didn't see the double barrel shotgun or plasma rifle witch are the 2 best guns.

  • PrinceShadari

    Ah doom... one of the great games. Also one of the most difficult FPS' in the world (I'm including Doom 2 in this with the Pain Elementals and Arch Viles). Great play through though. Also, the first game to incorporate a z axis (the ability to look up or down) was Heretic by Raven. It used the same game engine as Doom, and was an AMAZING game

  • Tacoma Yakko

    I'm not sure what difficulty you launched on, but if they didn't change it for the Live version, Ultra Violence has the same monster count as Nightmare...only without monster respawning.

    I think I remember mouse sensitivity being adjustable in DOS Doom.

    If you want a bigger community, try the ZDaemon or ZDoom launchers for Windows. There's other utilities, but those are the two I use now and then.

  • dotLEEZ

    im NEW yay
    LEE you r awsome i would love to play u online in DOOM

  • chungy

    Hey Lee, I loved watching all your videos; they were pretty hilarious. Although I know pretty much every nook and cranny about the first three episode (never cared about the fourth), it was a refreshing reminder of what being totally in the dark about what's coming next is like -- although when the occasional megawad comes out, I get that feeling too.

    Additionally, I did find it amusing whenever you were meeting the "hordes" of monsters, because over the course of 15 years, the idea of what constitutes as a "horde" has changed, and a mere 20-30 monsters no longer counts to experienced players (no offense) :P

  • benzaie

    wait the giant spider at the end was only in ultimate DOOM ??? (that's the one I played on the DOOM for SATURN)

    okai... well Lee you were of great help to go though the night :)

  • SamPD

    Well its official. Doom makes Halo 3 its bitch. Quite litteraly in difficulty. Ha! The legendary mode is pussy compared to this. Well if you want a mutiplayer match then my username is samPD. Look forward to blasting ailen scum with ya Lee. Glauxspeed! ;)

  • BalloonAnimals

    I love listening to you Lee!! You make me smile a lot!

  • Awesome Gamer  - Any chance of reviews of Doom 2 / Final Doom / add

    Ah, Doom, how I love you so.

    Great review, Lee. Your commentary is hilarious.

    Do you have a way to capture PC video? Because I'd love to see you review Doom 2, Final Doom, Master Levels, D!Zone, fan PWADs, etc.
