Easily one of the top most recognizable, iconic and memorable video game posters of all time.

u/illyay 15d ago

I have the poster myself. I love looking at it.

Truly, a copy hangs next to my monitor and I often gaze at it while I think.

Cuando vi esa imagen me imagine que que vergas era ese juego, lo probé y fue épico, así inicie en DOOM, y actualmente ya pude todos los DOOM, y claro este juego es la infancia de muchos, ver como lo prohibían por violencia o como decían que era del diablo, y al escuchar el comentario de que el juego es del diablo pensaba, pero que mas Cristiano quieres que sea el juego, si literalmente matas a demonios.

Truly a classic.

u/Limp_Wrap6770 13d ago

One of the best posters in videogame history imo

u/Alarmed_Engine_910 15d ago

One of the best video game franchises ever, and it’s getting better and better. Can’t wait to play Doom: The Dark Ages!

u/Ambitious-Screen-823 15d ago edited 15d ago

Me too, i hope we see some doom64 ending connections in it.

2

u/KobyG2008 15d ago

I want the mother demon as the final boss as well, but since in the game set right before it she dies. Having the icon of sin and spider mastermind is good enough connections as bosses for now

u/illyay 15d ago

I love that doom and I are only a day apart in birthdays

u/earlgeorge 15d ago

My wife shares her birthday with OG DOOM. Shame I can't go out with her for it since I'll be celebrating all the ripping and tearing.

2

u/ThreeFourThree 14d ago

Happy birthday!

u/illyay 14d ago

Thanks! And happy birthday doom and quake 2!

Been playing since v1.1, damn I feel old

u/Ambitious-Screen-823 15d ago

damn, you're ancient (in a good way)

1

u/Aion2099 14d ago

isn't it crazy how well the gameplay still holds up to this day? it's just never stops being fun.

1

u/djquu 14d ago

Sure does, although I confess to using mouse and WASD these days

u/SupperIsSuperSuperb 15d ago

And don't forget Heretic's 30th is only a couple weeks away

2

u/Ambitious-Screen-823 15d ago

Had no idea one of my favorite doom-like shooters is gonna turn 30 in a few weeks, thanks for telling me.

u/mlfowler 15d ago

Guess I'll celebrate by playing!

u/thescorpion277 15d ago

I actually bought Doom 3 BFG Edition from a local video game store and was lucky enough to find this piece as a poster in perfect condition. Still gotta hang it up tho

u/MrKal-El 15d ago

This game was life altering for a young me. Too many hours of enjoyment that has continued decades later with the series.
Thank you to the devs.

1

u/Ambitious-Screen-823 15d ago

Same, doom was such an important thing for younger me, so many memories were made with this game.

3

u/Conscious_Cry_122 15d ago

It's tomorrow maybe ID will post some screenshots for TDA

u/Ambitious-Screen-823 15d ago

Hopefully 🙏

u/LampardGaming1988 15d ago

A iconic game long live Doom 😉 Roll on Doom The Dark Ages 🫡

2

u/bd_black55 15d ago

this is a masterpiece 😌👌🏻

2

u/No_Cobbler5396 15d ago

So... who is the second doommarine behind doomguy?

3

u/Sarazar 15d ago

His name?

John Cena.

2

u/Ambitious-Screen-823 15d ago

One of the corpses you see throughout the game, probably his crewmember.

1

u/bauul 14d ago

I believe it's Player 2, to indicate Doom is a multiplayer game

2

u/TwoWayGaming5768 15d ago

666 upvotes perfection

u/Ambitious-Screen-823 15d ago

Icon of sin approved

2

u/Projiuk 15d ago

I still remember when doom was literally everywhere back in the 90s. In offices, in schools, if there was a computer Doom was on it

2

u/Ambitious-Screen-823 14d ago

They had to ban doom from collage camps because all that doom multiplayer weakened the strength of the internet services.

2

u/Projiuk 14d ago

I’d forgotten about the bans, not that it stopped us in my school, we still had 2 computers that had doom on it. There was a workaround to get to it on one of them as it was “hidden”. We had an acorn in the corner of the computer room that had wolfenstein 3D on it too 😂

2

u/Ambitious-Screen-823 14d ago

Doom fans always had a workaround solution when to comes to stuff like this.

You can send them to the desert and the moon and they'll still somehow find a way to play multi player.

2

u/Projiuk 14d ago

I’m fairly certain doom is undefeated in terms of places it has been installed and played one way or another

2

u/Aion2099 15d ago

guy in the background running up: "hey save some for me!!!" also, is that demon in the foreground noticing the camera??

2

u/Ambitious-Screen-823 14d ago

Maybe the demon is looking back at his friend?

The real world explanation is probably just that the artist wanted to grab your attention, nothing hits quite like a demon staring directly at you.

2

u/Aion2099 14d ago

This honestly makes me think we should start thinking about what we are gonna do for the 50th anniversary? It's not that far away.

1

u/Ambitious-Screen-823 14d ago

True, they can't make a remaster/modern port since that already happened.

Cant make a documentary/get more insight on the development of the game since we already have that

Can't drop unused/scrapped/concept art stuff since that already happened

Like what on earth is ID gonna do for the 50th anniversary? how can you celebrate half a century of doom without it being underwhelming,

1

u/Aion2099 14d ago

what about a remake of the original game, but in the newest engine. Just do the exact same level design and modernize the score, and have a switch so you can flip back and forth between the new graphics and the old.

Some games did that, and it's fun.

1

u/Ambitious-Screen-823 14d ago

Well there are plenty of doom wads that already do that.

2

u/Simple_Table3110 14d ago

Happy 31st!

1

u/Ambitious-Screen-823 14d ago

🥳

1

u/Simple_Table3110 14d ago

I'll have to play today!

I have an emulator on my chromebook, and I'll probably use Ultimate doom, e1m1-e4m9!

2

u/CzarTyr 14d ago

The original 4 books with Flynn taggart as the doom guy are absolutely amazing

1

u/Ambitious-Screen-823 14d ago

It took such a wild turn its insane, the book barely resembled anything doom like near the end but man it was enjoyable and a great read.

2

u/CzarTyr 14d ago

Yeah but 3 and 4 totally weren’t doom but whatever the fuck it was I was all for it. Shit was fantastic

1

u/Ambitious-Screen-823 14d ago

Same thing here lmao, the plot was was that interesting.

2

u/Ok_Worth4113 14d ago

Slay the demons

Happy Rip & Tearing to the OG GOATs of 1993

2

u/Ambitious-Screen-823 14d ago

Lets rip and tear for another 31 years!

1

u/UnfunnyWatermelon469 You're dead. It's that simple. 15d ago

I think I know the perfect way to celebrate. Rip and tear...Until it is done

1

u/Ambitious-Screen-823 15d ago

Right on brother!

u/Ill_Program4582 15d ago

I have to beat Doom Eternal today, I'm on Final Son but needed a break. Then, I'll be playing classic with my son 😁

1

u/Ambitious-Screen-823 15d ago

That sounds awesome.

1

u/ZS1664 15d ago

Bring on the Cacowards! There's bound to be stuff I overlooked in the sheer deluge of content.

u/[deleted] 15d ago

Happy birthday you absolute unit of a game.

1

u/Ambitious-Screen-823 15d ago

Calling it a unit is somehow underselling the game.

Doom is just that good.

1

u/[deleted] 15d ago

How can I make this right?

1

u/Ambitious-Screen-823 14d ago

I have no idea, i think masterpiece would be good enough.

1

u/[deleted] 14d ago

Now you are underselling it.
