'Doom': A Celebration Trivia Quiz

Answer:

'Doom I' or 'Ultimate Doom' is where this iconic franchise all began. In a rather unassuming map, 'Hangar', the first-person shooter (FPS) genre became mainstream and the gaming world was transformed. In 'Ultimate Doom', the gamer explores maps such as 'Hangar' from the perspective of the hero - Doom Guy - obliterating monsters such as imps, cacodemons and the fearsome cyberdemon along the way.

As is reflected in the message of congratulations a gamer receives upon completion of 'Doom I', the hero's objective is to pave the way for what remains of humanity to escape Earth, a planet that has become a toxic wasteland since the alien invasion. This message also sets the scene for the next instalment of the franchise by stating that Earth Control has discovered intelligence about the invasion and that you, dear gamer, are again humanity's one and only hope!

"Returning to the fray" in order to tackle 'Doom II', gamers must guide Doom Guy through a far more hellish landscape. The hell concept is accentuated in this instalment with the world featuring demonic iconography scrawled over walls and ceilings with great frequency. Reflecting this theme, the game itself has the alternate name of 'Doom II: Hell on Earth'. Gameplay remains the same as 'Doom I' but with the difficulty cranked up a notch. In the PlayStation version of 'Doom II', the final level is named 'Redemption Denied' and it features two spider masterminds that must be destroyed in order to complete the game. Once the deed has been done, gamers receive their second congratulatory message. After "[the] dreadful invasion has been stopped cold" you are invited to enjoy retirement and a "lifetime of frivolity". But, do you really want that?
