Incredible. I didn't even know they ported this to SNES, and the system was my favorite as a kid. Then again, I was a kid, and I've forgotten a lot of things through the years. Anyways, while *I* understand everything you're talking about in this review, you approached it as if every single reader has played the original. |

It's always nice to see other people suffering through horrible ports that I've suffered through. |

I bought this red cartridge from a pawn shop when I was a teenager. I had never played Doom on the PC, so I didn't know any better. Believe it or not, I loved this port as an introduction. Never felt that I took damage unfairly, though I disliked the lack of a save feature. It's crazy that the SNES version has the best music of the bunch.

The writer likes Doom though, he linked to a positive review in the first paragraph. This is a review of the SNES port. |

I think Ken Masters was being facetious

I DID NOT KNOW that, Emp. Just another hilarious tidbit about this game.

I remember journalists being very impressed at the time. No one thought the SNES was capable of Doom. Personally I bought it and played it to death. It's still my most-played version of Doom. My family didn't have a PC so I'd resigned myself to never being able to play the famed Doom. |

SNES Wolfenstein didn't have the same problems that SNES Doom did. I thought part of that problem was based on just how detailed they made the graphics to the point where the engine started cracking and crumbling the instant you started moving. Because when I first started it up, I was amazed at how the hardware handled Doom...until I actually started playing the stupid thing.

I thought the 32X port was pretty well done, myself.
