DOOM was one of the most radical PC games ever, it departed
from the flat 2d based games and simplistic polygon based titles (Wolfenstein
3D was it's precursor) and introduced fast, textured 3d, multiplayer and
violent gameplay.
The Linux version of Doom is identical to that of the original Dos based one, though it may run about 5-10% slower due to the increased memory and CPU useage of Linux as compared to Dos. |
