  DOOM
       
           A simulated 3D moster-hunting action game for IBM
          PCs, created and published by id Software.  The original
          press release was dated January 1993.  A cut-down shareware
          version v1.0 was released on 10 December 1993 and again with
          some bug-fixes, as v1.4 in June 1994.
       
          DOOM is similar to Wolfenstein 3d (id Software, Apogee) but
          has better texture mapping; walls can be at any angle, of
          any thickness and have windows; lighting can fade into the
          distance or come from point sources; floors and ceilings can
          be of any height; many surfaces are animated; up to four
          players can play over a network or two by serial link; it has
          a high frame rate (comparable to TV on a 486/33); DOOM
          isn't just a collection of connected closed rooms like
          Wolfenstein but sounds can travel anywhere and alert monsters
          of your approach.
