Doom is notable for the weapons arsenal available to the marine, which became prototypical for first-person shooters.

This prediction came true at least in part: Doom became a major problem at workplaces, both occupying the time of employees and clogging computer networks with traffic caused by deathmatches.

Due to its widespread distribution, Doom hence became the game that introduced deathmatching to a large audience ( and was also the first game to use the term " deathmatch ").

Several to-be professional game designers started their careers making Doom WADs as a hobby, among them Tim Willits, who later became the lead designer at id Software.

Doom became a " killer app " that all capable consoles and operating systems were expected to have, and versions of Doom have subsequently been released for the following systems: DOS, Microsoft Windows, Linux, Apple Macintosh, Super NES, Sega 32X, Sony PlayStation, Game Boy Advance, iOS, Symbian OS, RISC OS, Atari Jaguar, Sega Saturn, Nintendo 64, Tapwave Zodiac, 3DO, Xbox, and Xbox Live Arcade.

With the rise of brand new genres and 3D gameplay, remakes became somewhat less common in the late 1990s, with notable exceptions like Doom 64 and Lunar: The Silver Star.

A week before the game's release, it became known that an agreement to include EAX audio technology in Doom 3 reached by id Software and Creative Labs was heavily influenced by a software patent owned by the latter company.

One of the first 3D games which became popular partially due to level editors and fan-made content was Doom.

The Legion of Doom also became 2 time tag-team champions on October 7, 1997 when they defeated The Godwinns.

This category of games currently requires multiple machines to connect to each other over the Internet, but before the Internet became popular, MUDs were played on time-sharing computer systems, and games such as Doom were played on a LAN.

Harris created a set of levels for the game Doom, which later became known as the Harris levels.

Richards became fascinated with history and discovered the time travel technology created by one of his ancestors, Victor Von Doom.

" ( Letter 210 ) In the DVD commentary for Peter Jackson's film adaptation of The Return of the King, Jackson and Fran Walsh joke that not using the Eagles to travel directly to Mount Doom was a plot hole, at which point Philippa Boyens angrily points out to them that the Flying Nazgûl would have intercepted them had they attempted this, and it simply became a common joke that it was a plot hole because the Flying Nazgûl were not introduced in the first film, a point to which Jackson and Walsh humbly conceded.

Around this time, Doom 2099 became the only 2099 comic to crossover with a present-day Marvel comic when he traveled back to 1996 and met Daredevil, the Fantastic Four, and Namor in a story partially told in Fantastic Four # 413.

With one third of the game ( 9 levels ) distributed as shareware, Doom was played by an estimated 10 million people within two years of its release, popularizing the mode of gameplay and spawning a gaming subculture ; as a sign of its effect on the industry, games from the mid-1990s boom of first-person shooters are often known simply as " Doom clones ".

Many versions of Doom ( and its sequels ) include secret levels which are accessed by the player discovering alternate exits, often hidden behind secret doors or in areas which are difficult to reach.

Doom relies heavily on contrasts of lighting in building its atmosphere.

Another important feature of the Doom engine is its modular data files, which allow most of the game's content to be replaced by loading custom WAD files.

Id Software made its mark in video game history with the shareware release of Doom, and eventually revisited the theme of this game in 2004 with their release of Doom 3.

During its early days, Id Software produced much more varied games ; these include the early 3D first person shooter experiments that led to Wolfenstein 3D and Doom — Hovertank 3D and Catacomb 3D.

Id Software has also overseen several games using its technology that were not made in one of their IPs such as Shadowcaster, ( early-Id Tech 1 ), Heretic, Hexen ( Id Tech 1 ), Hexen II ( Quake engine ), and Orcs and Elves ( Doom RPG engine ).

Doom was and remains notorious for its high levels of violence, gore, and satanic imagery, which have generated much controversy from a broad range of groups.

Marvel counts among its characters such well-known properties as Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, Captain America and Daredevil ; antagonists such as the Green Goblin, Magneto, Doctor Doom, Galactus, and the Red Skull.

Nintendo has since allowed several mature-content games to be published on its consoles, including: Perfect Dark, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Doom and Doom 64, BMX XXX, the Resident Evil series, killer7, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, BloodRayne, Geist and Dementium: The Ward.

Thus, the final game was very stripped down from its original intentions, and instead featured gameplay similar to Doom and its sequel, although levels and enemies were closer to medieval RPG style rather than science-fiction.

The games Doom, its level ( WAD ) editor, and Quake with its respective level editor were all developed by id Software on NeXT machines.
