In 1993 id Software released Doom much to the chagrin of office Managers everywhere. By 1995 the game was estimated to be installed on more computers than Windows 95. The game catapulted id from an obscure Texas based game developer to the holy ground of shooter game development. Now, the game that filled a thousand BBS's in shareware form can be yours for Christmas for the bargain price of $4.99.
Doom Classic isn't just a cheap cash-in port either. There have been features implemented like tilt strafing and tilt turning and "auto use" which opens doors or pushes switches automatically that take advantage of the unique idiosyncracies of the iOS platform.
If you're expecting some iTunes cards for Christmas then definitely put Doom Classic on your "list of things to get with that iTunes card I got for Christmas" - or that Dimensional Shambler won't be pleased. Here's a link to expedite potential Doom-ing: Doom Classic
If you (like myself) wasted much of your young life playing way too much Doom then share some experiences in the comment section. Whether it was forgetting to eat or talking back to the quit messages it'd be great to hear them!
