'Doom 1' redirects here. For the shareware data file, see DOOM1.WAD. For the reboot released in 2016, see Doom (2016). Doom (officially cased DOOM and occasionally DooM by fans, based on the Doom logo's stylized lettering) is the first release of the Doom series, and one of the games that consolidated the first-person shooter genre. With a science fiction and horror style, it gives the players. PC/Mac/Linux Society. Halflife, Halo, Doom, Farcry, Alien versus Predator 2, Deus Ex Jurassic Park Trespasser (haha) to name a few. I played the one called Cold War Crisis. It's a fun game. Doom was a breath of fresh air in so many ways. Rather than burying the player in needless narrative and the crushing presence of lore, Id Software let the levels themselves tell the story for it.

Game Review

Doom is the legendary first-person shooter created by Id Software and released for DOS in 1993.

It was Id Software’s follow-up to their genre-defining Wolfenstein 3D. This was the first game to popularize multiplayer for this genre.

The Union Aerospace Corporation has been experimenting with teleportation on the moons of mars, when something goes wrong. Play from the perspective of a space marine sent to clean up the corporation’s mess. You watch as your friends are quickly slaughtered and you wonder how they made it out of boot camp. That aside, you soon find that the UAC has managed to open up a portal to hell and you’re about to need a lot of bullets. Don’t worry, as there is a large arsenal to choose from. With more advanced engine technology than Wolfenstein 3D, Doom’s levels are more varied and complex. The engine can simulate different heights and lighting conditions (hope you’re not afraid of the dark). With a myriad of booby traps set in indoor and outdoor environments, you better watch your step. Press switches and find key cards to advance through the episodes, all while fighting off the spawn of hell. Good luck.

Doom was voted one of the Ten Most Influential PC Games and stands as the milestone for the change from 2D graphics to 3D. Since its release, the licensing for 3D engines has become an important business branch of the PC industry. Winning more than 17 gaming awards, it has truly earned its spot on the Best Games of All Time list (7 times, in fact). It is also featured in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die. I still personally own and play this one to this day. Trust me when I say you will love this game.

1. Play

For small DOS games like Rogue, you can play online immediately with your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer...). This feature is still experimental, the game may not work properly. Warning: game save should work, but you should try it early! Also, be careful to select the right game executable in the list below.

Emulator configuration

You have to choose the right game executable, then press PLAY.

To exit fullscreen mode, press escape. Playing experience can be poor due to your browser or your computer. Download Rogue and launch it with DOSBox to have the best playing experience!

If the game is too fast or too slow, try hitting CTRL-F11 (slower) and CTRL-F12 (faster).

Does anyone remember the Wizard's Password?

(LOL ok let me try again) to go up the stairs, I thought it was the GREATER THAN sign (aka shift-comma) and to go down the stairs it is LESS THAN sign (aka shift-period). But it's been years since I played this game that I so loved. Another game we enjoyed in college was one called HACK.

Miss U. More2020-11-16

To go up the stairs I thought it was and down the stairs

Wardawg2020-09-08

@CrowsAsFuel
I use the Shift + to descend stairs.

Wardawg2020-09-08

@MS ABENA
I play it on a WinX pc using Dosbox. The issue is when you save the game it exits. so i go to the game directory and make a copy of the save (named rogue.sav) and place it in another folder. the reason for this is when you launch rogue to play the save it gets deleted when you die. To play the Saved game launch it with this command: rogue rogue.sav
I save for significant moments in the game. currently jammed on lvl 33 because of jabberwocks and vampires.

'Monster Rooms' occur randomly throughout the game. Characteristics include monsters from levels below that don't occur on the current level and monsters that move that are normally stationary (Leprechaun and Nymph). Better to stay in the doorway and knock them off one at a time than to wander into the room.

BoyMayo2020-07-29

I randomly stumbled on a room with at least 7 monsters in it, on one of the easier floors. (Level 5, to be exact)

BoyMayo2020-07-29

I've started to notice how much luck this game requires compared to actual skill.

Buck2020-07-19

Press 'F1' to see a list of commands. Press ' to go down the stairs.

Somnambulist2020-07-14

rogue/r to restore the saved game in rogue.sav
If you're running out of food on a regular basis, check those rings! Wearing any ring (except for Slow Digestion) will burn your food at twice the normal rate. Slow digestion will burn at half the normal rate so wearing Slow Digestion and another ring will negate the acceleration. Be careful about putting on unidentified rings! If they're cursed you can't remove it (them) until remove curse is read.

Smellypants2020-06-23

PRess F1 to see all commands, shift and together let you go downstairs

CrowsAsFuel2020-06-13

How do you go down the stairs, i've tried everything :P

Richard2020-05-31

Thank you so much for keeping this game running and available. Great work.

coxbury2020-05-29

Rachel - basically by beating them.

Rachel2020-05-25

How do I clear the record of best scores?

creditbutton2020-05-11

in the original...'S' was slime and it would divide, hence slim mold as food

coxbury2020-04-29

Why does the Hall of fame only give the top ten. In the original version, it simply kept a record of all the heroes. This made it easier to see exactly how addicted you were, and how many hours you wasted (?) playing the game!

idnas2020-04-28

I have a Mac Book Pro, how do I go down the stairs?

Coxbury2020-04-26

Ach y Fe!
Goodbye Work; Goodbye social life. Total addiction - they do say that you must keep away from drink and drugs for ever!

Drag2020-03-17

This game has perma death so there is no saving and loading

'VOID'2020-03-04

Just like ROGUE on CMU-G (Carnegie Mellon University) Computer Science VAX running BSD. In those days ROGUE was considered a CPU HOG if you played the game quickly. Old memories !

Vorris2020-01-24

To rest for 1 tick press . To rest for more than 1 tick enter a number followed by .

SneakyLynx2019-11-01

If you want to load your save game, you have to launch the game with the save file appended to it:
C:/ROGUEROUGE.EXE ROUGE.SAV

bruh2019-10-27

@MS ABENA
the original rogue is supposed to be perma death and no save, that's what it was meant to be.

Deb loves Rogue2019-08-26

You can save, but can you load?

skelebones2019-08-13

for the people saying that its but that you cant save:
BRUH ITS ROGUE, its MEANT to be like that

ms abena2019-08-11

there is absolutely no point playing rogue if you cannot find a way to save it as you go through the dungeons! does anyone know how to save and reload a saved game on a windows10 computer?? please! any help would be greatly appreciated!

Duke2019-06-02

Have the game running wonderfully. Found the Rogue Instruction Manual (very helpful) as is Rogue, The Dungeons Of Doom Walk through... solutions and tips. I just have NOT figured out how to SAVE a game.

Grand Lad2019-04-26

This still stands as one of the greatest games ever created. But yeah you do need to read up on the manual before you even attempt to play this game. Old but gold

I've found the manual, it's very useful https://docs.freebsd.org/44doc/usd/30.rogue/paper.pdf

BoneDehDuck2018-08-06

The search command (shift S) does not work in this version, instead it saves the game.

Garbox2018-07-06

Amazing blast from the past! As difficult as it ever was and just as brilliant! How do I load a saved game though?

On level 6 the stairs didn't spawn :(

oldtime dos user from the 80s2018-06-19

Dude. Had no idea that the DOS environment didn't regenerate itself afresh with each launch. Or that DEL was active. ROGUE.EXE is gone.

L0506182018-05-06

Downloaded game, downloaded DOSBox. Now how do I LAUNCH game offline?

Craig2342017-10-05

Great game, but this version does not identify your inventory after the game! That's bad.
