Amsterdoom is a first person shooter developed by Davilex and published in March of 2000. Davilex was a developer of video games, computer games and computer software from the Netherlands. The game is set in the city of Amsterdam, which has been invaded by alien creatures. It takes place in several well known locations like the central station, red light district and Schiphol Airport. The game was created to be an entry level FPS for people that had little experience with such games. Around October of 2001 the game was renamed and republished as Amsterdam Monster Madness. The game was only released officially in the Netherlands.
The game Invasion Deutschland (also by Davilex) published after this game uses a lot of the same assets, level designs and enemies from Amsterdoom. That game takes place in several locations within Germany, in cities like Berlin and Cologne.
