Final Doom plays identically to Doom II: Hell on Earth, and even features the same weapons, items, and monsters. The original game is widely considered to be significantly more difficult than its predecessors Doom and Doom II. Dragon Age: Origins is the first game in the series, and was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 in November 2009, and for Mac OS X in December 2009. Set in the kingdom of Ferelden during a period of civil unrest, the game puts the player in the role of a warrior, mage, or rogue coming from an elven, human, or dwarven.

Doom is the landmark first-person shooter by id Software 1st released as shareware for the PC in 1993. It is widely recognized for pioneering immersive 3D graphics, networked multiplayer gaming, and support for custom expansions (WADs).
When the game was finally released commercially as 'The Ultimate Doom' for the Macintosh in 1995, it arrived with an additional fourth episode of 9 new levels, entitled Thy Flesh Consumed. By this time, Doom II had already made its debut on the Macintosh gaming platform.
The player takes the role of a marine (unnamed to further represent the person playing), 'one of Earth's toughest, hardened in combat and trained for action', who has been incarcerated on Mars after assaulting a senior officer when ordered to fire upon civilians. There, he works alongside the Union Aerospace Corporation (UAC), a multi-planetary conglomerate and military contractor performing secret experiments on interdimensional travel. Recently, the teleportation has shown signs of anomalies and instability, but the research continues nonetheless.
Suddenly, something goes wrong and creatures from hell swarm out of the teleportation gates on Deimos and Phobos. A defensive response from base security fails to halt the invasion, and the bases are quickly overrun by monsters; all personnel are killed or turned into zombies.
A military detachment from Mars travels to Phobos to investigate the incident. The player is tasked with securing the perimeter, as the assault team and their heavy weapons are brought inside. Radio contact soon ceases and the player realizes that he is the only survivor. Being unable to pilot the shuttle off of Phobos by himself, the only way to escape is to go inside and fight through the complexes of the moon base.

Try and survive the original three episodes that made Doom a household name: 27 sizzling levels of the most explosive, mutant-laden, blood-spattered battle ever. Then it really blows players away with an all-new episode: Thy Flesh Consumed. Perfect Hatred, Sever the Wicked and seven other expert levels are so incredibly tough, users will be burnt to a crisp.

Highly recommended: Dan Linton's visit to id Software in 1993. The video features composer Bobby Prince giving a demo of Commander Keen and Wolfenstein 3-D, and John Romero playing an early version of Doom. Also read more at The Artful Gamer.

The installer on the CD image is Compact Pro based, and has issues with Mac OS 8.5 and newer. If you experience problems, you can manually install by dragging the files you need to a location on your hard drive. For example: copy 'Ultimate DOOM', 'DOOM.WAD' & the 'Music' folder to a folder on your hard drive. It's unlikely that you will require any of the included 'System Software' if your Mac is running Mac OS 7.5.5 or newer.
To run this in Mac OS X, you'll need a modern source port of the Doom engine.
A list of various OS X compatible forks and ports can be found at Doomworld.
