Doom is a first-person shooter developed by id Software in 1993. It was a highly influential title in the development of first-person shooters, as well as playing a pioneering role in realtime texture-mapped 3D graphics, networked multiplayer play, and support for a large number of user-made levels and mods. Doom is also notable for its tremendous success outside traditional 'boxes on shelves' retail channels, originally being distributed under the shareware model.
