I will be reviewing the doom pre release beta. It's a 3 level demo of doom that includes levels not from the first episode. I just needed to use a program called fake date to get it running. It was used to fix the timing which was preventing the game from running.

gameplay: The levels are slightly harder and different. Youcan check your score by pushing tab. You can pick up items for points. Better blasts. The gameplay is still very similar to doom but funner. 10/10

graphics: The graphics are just like doom but with better blasts and slightly different levels 9/10

sounds:na

replayibility: Very good replayibility. You can get a little bored of the levels. 9/10

overall: A nice doom beta that is reccomended to be played. 9/10

Not bad at all, interesting for anyone who likes to know the genius behind these games. Let's not forget they were doing things with these games in 91-92-93 that wern't even close on consol til maybe goldeneye in 96, and that isn't even as good as Doom.
