Even the title screen is the same!
The legs that id Software’s DOOM has had is incredible. Released in 1993, DOOM changed the gaming landscape like nobody could have predicted. Wolfenstein 3D was cool and all, and I personally love the game, but it didn’t blow my mind like DOOM did.
DOOM was the first game in which I distinctly remember feeling that the 3D environment felt like an actual place. I remember levels in my head like they are places I’ve visited on holidays. They have a sense of weight and feel tangible, full of memorable architecture and thoughtful design. If I could jump right in there, deep into those memories, I’d know where to go with nary a thought.
