We review some curiosities of the saga, its origins, its enormous influence on video games and best moments
This month two great games are expected by the players, on the one hand there is Anima Crossing, the simulation game from Nintendo in which we moved to an Island to create our new home, and on the other we have Doom Eternal, the new installment of The FPS franchise created by ID Software comes loaded with new features and a spectacular visual section.
The saga was born in 1993 for MS-DOS and was so popular that even Bill Gates wanted to use it to promote Windows 95, in this way Bill convinced the development team to port it to the operating system and the magnate appeared in an advertisement touring one of the scenarios of the title.
The origins of a classic
The first Doom was released on four 3 ½ floppy disks, each one could store up to 1.44MB, for those who do not know what a floppy disk is, it is an obsolete format for storing data, its image endures in operating systems as the save icon.
Originally they thought about the three life system that was in many games of the time where if you exhausted those three opportunities, you had to start from the beginning, can you imagine having to start Doom over and over again with only three lives? This idea was rejected because they thought it could discourage players.
Doom II was the direct continuation of the original title, it had more than 30 levels full of demons, imps and other enemies to destroy.
Doom Eternal is the continuation of the saga after Doom 2016, in which we will face the armies of hell that have invaded the earth, we will have to do our utmost to save humanity from the horror that haunts it in this new installment of frantic shooting and violence in abundance.
