CNET Editors' review
As we come up on its 10th anniversary, Doom 95 still holds up. Although its graphics and animations are unmistakably dated, the entertainment value remains strong. Doom also still is surprisingly challenging to play. The mix of maze exploration and full-on firepower gets more and more tricky as the levels progress. Hunting for secret rooms and power-ups is also as entertaining as it ever was. The demo version delivers a healthy sampling of levels, monsters, and weapons--more than we could get through machines that are half a decade old. You might want to turn the soundtrack down. Even with minuscule system requirements, Doom stands the test of time.Publisher's Description
From id Software:
Doom 95 continues the hyperviolent exploits that propelled the original Doom to infamy. Face the onslaught of demons and specters that populate this terror-filled underworld. Slip a few shells into your shotgun and get ready to kick some demon butt.

"Mind-blowing game for its time"
Version: Doom 95 demo
Pros
The speed, the characters, the challenging levels. Surviving for 10 years is truly amazing. Worked on even the slowest of computers of that time.
Cons
For a game that old, you can't really pick on the wrongs.

"Nice bit of nostalgia..."
Version: Doom 95 demo
Pros
To all the negative reviewers...the original doom is now 15 years old - that's a long time in the gaming development world. What exactly were you expecting?? This is a seminal game, a classic - try and judge it on its own terms in the context of other games from the early 90s - *** is wrong with you people??

"Classically Gorey"
Version: Doom 95 demo
Pros
interesting puzzels, fun gameplay, takes practice, nice sprites/gore. never gets old.
Cons
music gets annoying, if the game closes unexpectedly, it leaves the screen resolution on most new computers really messed up, and the colors are sometimes inverted!
