GAMEPLAY: Doom is a perfect example of unextraordinary graphics/superlative gameplay.

Sega's 32X and Saturn, Atari's Jaguar, Sony's Playstation, Doom has even appeared on the state of the art Apple Macs. A SNES version (considered almost impossible to be converted onto a 16-bit machine) was released in 1995. I brought it!
