The new. The improved. The DEFINITIVE DOOM SNES experience!
All 4 DOOM episodes, including Thy Flesh Consumed, added circle-strafe, Performance improvements, Monster respawning on Nightmare difficulty, Level codes, and Rumble support via an all-new controller!
Welcome to Doom, soldier. Now shut up and start fighting because there’s no time to waste! We’re talking total war against the forces of evil, with the only thing standing between civilization and the end of everything as we know it is you – one angry Marine with a handgun and a bad attitude. This is the full-auto, 16-meg faithful version of the PC original. Which means all the same monsters, levels, weapons, and surprises are around for a screaming fast descent into danger with sudden death lurking around every corner. Strap on your ammo and prepare to spit lead. Because now’s your chance to be a hero.
