{{quote|''"Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil... prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until ''Doom'', no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon..."''|'''[[Terry Pratchett]]'''}}

[[Id Software]]'s follow-up to ''[[Wolfenstein 3D]]'' was '''''Doom''''', which represented a big step forward in the art of texture mapping, and an even bigger step forward in videogame violence. It follows the story of an unnamed [[A Space Marine Is You|Space Marine]] posted to the Union Aerospace Corporation's base on Phobos, one of the moons of Mars. When teleportation experiments between Phobos and Deimos cause Deimos to vanish and a horde of grotesque monsters to invade the Phobos base, our hero is the only human left alive between the two bases. He fights his way through the creatures in search of a way off Phobos, finding himself transported instead to Deimos, now residing in the creatures' homeland, which turns out to be none other than Hell itself.

Line 91 ⟶ 93:
** Taken [[Up to Eleven]] in Doom 64, where the chainsaw has ''two blades''.
** Doom 3 actually provides an explanation for why a base on Mars, which has no trees, would have chainsaws-they got mixed up with an order of jackhammers for mining.
* [[Christmas Rushed]]: The 3DO port of the game had to be completed in ten weeks in order to make a Christmas release. The executive that ordered this didn't understand that the game needed porting over, and presumed that new levels and weapons could simply be dropped in. The game made the deadline, but is [[Understatement|not considered the best version]].
* [[Classic Cheat Code]]: iddqd, idkfa, idchoppers, and so on.
* [[Clothing Damage]]: As seen in the page image, Doomguy's uniform is heavily damaged in most official artwork. Amusingly, this led to some players thinking that his armor was issued [[Bare Your Midriff|with an abdominal cutout]].
